The nicest thing I like about this adapter is that it uses a Jeep external slave, fork and throw out bearing. From the pressure plate forward it’s Chevy parts. Aside from the bellhousing, there are no custom parts or funky adaptations needed. Looking forward to giving these a try.

Had to pickup another steering column and wheel. It looks like someone tried to install an auto column and couldn’t quite get the shift interlock figured out. They had destroyed some of the housing and the column had a ton of slop in it. Got a replacement tilt manual column with the key release lever. Also managed to find a mint condition original black steering wheel and a few other odds and ends. More parts showing up for the project. Looks like a mail ordered a Comanche in pieces lol

These topics come up a lot… Ultimately it’s almost impossible to assign a value to these trucks. Keep in mind that there are so few on the road anymore that each one will carry a unique value. Some are scrap, others are gold and there are a lot in between. As someone who recently sold and also purchased an eliminator I can offer a relatively worthless opinion that it is likely worth close to asking. I doubt you will be able to get it for much less as there will likely be too much purchasing competition.

Parts stripped down and ready to blast.

Before I go and start building my front D30 I though I’d check to see if anyone had a good front XJ d30 with 3.73’s. Let me know if you do

Good to know. Any pics of the brackets would be great. I’ll try mocking them up and see how they fit the short bed

If your putting one on a pre 96 engine, grab the pulley bracket and tensioner setup from the 96 and later. You’ll need that to tension the belt since the PS pump will now be stationary on the new intake.

Moving forward on this project. Getting a new shop setup also. Had a question though regarding the stock rear bumper brackets. Does anyone know if there is a difference between the long bed and short bed brackets? I read somewhere that the only difference was a small notch for the spring shackle. I have a pair of nice long bed bumper mounts I’m trying to see if I can use.

Negative, wasn’t really planning on selling it but I would consider it.

I have an 02 LS1 vette engine. It already has an LS6 intake as well.

More parts

Most certainly!

Great info. I have the comp cams trunion upgrade kit in my cart at summit now. I’ll check that bushing kit out

Good info! I’ll do the trunion swap for sure. Will do valve cover and oil pan gaskets also. Have a low profile rear sump 6qt oil pan picked out from summit also since I don’t plan on lifting this MJ much at all. Sounds like the steam kit is also cheap insurance. I assume the CAI, Novak headers and free flowing exhaust will probably be good for a few more ponies. Can’t get too wild in front of that ax15. That’s actually got me thinking about any upgrades to it as well. Whats the advantage of the ls2 lifter buckets?

If you end up getting the 4 leaf pack, please measure before and after the swap. Really trying to get a good idea of how much they lift various rigs

The quest to keep a stock dash continues

I’m in zip 72751. Not sure about the shift interlock. Shouldn’t be a problem fort manual though. Shoot me some pics & price when you can. Thanks

Truck cover came in today

Company out of Nebraska called OLMspeed. Here is their website: https://olmstedautomotive.com I negotiated with them a bit to include some extra parts and longer warranty. Pricing is on their website I believe but always best to talk to them directly. Mine is an 02 with 66k miles. I may do a cam swap, roller rockers, steam kit and head gaskets if I have the time for it.

Need the full tilt column without the column shift as mine is a manual. Let me know what you have. Color is irrelevant as I will dye it to match

Went through quite a few before settling on this one. Should be here in a week or so.

Ahh ok, good to know.

Managed to pickup a nice used hitch.

Was reading up on this and it’s a tune for 91 octane. Supposedly not supposed to tow with it either. Just has different maps. As cruiser commented on a few forums, you could just go with the 89/90 ecu, high altitude cps and some good injectors and probably be very close to the performance tune.
