I just ended up replacing it with the CR Laurence window. Didn’t keep pursuing the replacement seals

Hmmm, now I’m going to need an exploded parts view to see what I’m going to need lol

Interesting, I have a pre 90 Renix grill but I can’t feature where that goes.

Can you provide a picture of where that is on the grill?

Yep that’s right. If you fuse block is mounted there you will also need to remove it first. It’s time consuming for sure.

Very good to know, thanks!

Interesting. Was planning to bring in the stock mj bumper and rework it a bit. You gave me a couple of more ideas for it now. Thanks

Is this a custom piece or where is it from?

It’s getting there

@Pete M Things are about to get epic here on this build. Any chance we could move this to the epic section?

Picked up a set of yukon chromo shafts for the D30 along with a set of 3.73 gears to match the rear. Was trying to find an XJ HP30 with 3.73 gears but there aren't any for sale near me and I will not run a low pinion front axle. Debating between ARB's or perhaps a Grip Pro front and rear.

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
