    You can reference this photo. The red x is not a plug weld. It’s hard to see for sure but it looks like this housing does have some plug weld provisions (highlighted in the green circles)

    People refer to the two round holes in the housing near the axle tubes as “plug weld” holes. Many have indeed plug welded that hole but that is where a case spreader would normally go. Not many d44s have an axle tube spinning problem like the 8.8s. You can still weld the tubes if you like if you can get a good weld on the pumpkin to tube area. I would recommend though that you don’t use the case spreader holes and fill them up with “plug welds”.

    Looks like a dial pad for an old car phone setup which was an option for MJs. Just a guess though.

    That information is just not helpful. You don’t know what, pistons, con rods, crank or bearings come with it if any. You have no way of calculating compression, fuel needs, quench or any other useful metric. I agree with the other suggestions here. Just rebuild it as a 4.0

    https://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ruffstuff&Product_Code=UB275&Category_Code=U-BOLTS These should work fine but measure your axle tube diameter where the springs bolt on.

    I’d just grab some new ones from ruffstuffspecialties. Dana 35 and Jeep Dana 44 axle tubes are often the same size depending on the year. U bolt plates should be very close. A bit of filing or grinding should get them to fit

    There have been many on here who have created custom leaf packs. The most common leaves I have seen mixed into an mj leaf pack is xj and explorer leaves. What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want more lift or just load capacity?

    Great suggestion, I’ve used the same and it works great.

    He says October for the obd1-2 adapter. The idea is that we can pickup an obd 2 computer for a 4.0 and throw it in our 91-92 mjs then tune it with HP tuners. The total cost for the electronics would make me go with mega squirt instead. Not a fan of his welded tube turbo manifold either. The boostwerks one is cast and is on sale now too for less than 400. Also don’t like the internal wastegate on the turbo. I’d grab the boostwerks manifold, a decent eBay turbo that is the right size for your needs, an eBay 90* v band downpipe with o2 bungs and a frozen boost intercooler. The picture below is what I’m planning to base my design on. It’s a very clean install for a turbo:

    We’ve had a slight delay from our vinyl cutters since they have been shut down for about a week and will be closed until April 14th at least. I’m looking into using another shop but would much prefer to work with them locally vs shipping some in
  12. ghetdjc320
    That’s a tough one but also doable I suppose.

    I think the other one is the power trax grip pro

    Worn lsd will just mean an open diff. The oem clutch style lsd never was a great traction adder off-road anyways. Other thing to check out is that the axle is straight.

    These things are like mining for bitcoins. About 2 solid days of non-stop deep searching will usually result in a single tail light.

    This topic has come up a lot in the last coupe of weeks. They don’t fit without body work.

    I agree. I don’t see any problem with boosting a 4.0 as long as you get the tuning right and I also agree that the split second is not the best way to go. Afr’s go a long way to keeping your engine temps in check as long as your cooling system is working as it should.

    The turbo manifold is under $400 from boostwerks, turbo itself is cheap (that version has an internal wastegate that personally I wouldn’t run). Your basically paying almost a grand for a downpipe (which is how much his down pipe is on eBay). My exhaust wouldn’t even be compatible since I use a TJ downpipe that wraps around the front of the oil pan.

    The new supply is practically extinguished (at least the ones that are available for sale). Many members have several set they may sell if you post a wanted ad. Otherwise, reproduction units are under development but I don’t know the eta.
  20. ghetdjc320
    yep, the options above that are fog light only/ sport bar only etc. will be blank on the other side and could be cutout if needed later

    typical Maaco

    You’ll need to grab a couple of these from the junk yard. Most every 96 and earlier xj I've seen has these on them.

    interesting setup. That wouldn’t be impossible to make but I probably won’t be making that version just yet. What year is that on? For reference, here is what the piece underneath should look like:
  24. ghetdjc320
    Mine should be safe to 12-15 psi or possibly higher. I’m running the aluminum head with all arp fasteners and a cometic hg
  25. ghetdjc320
    You mean just a blank one? That would be doable
