5.5k is pretty aggressive for that. Closer to 3 or 4 would be a deal. Rust is the biggest issue to look for rest are all easily fixable jeep things with tools, patience and learning.
Saw this today at Costco. Probably the only Ford I would ever droll over and want. Also saw a bunch of sweet rides doing the Crown rally through Vail this morning.
Gotcha, I have no info on the spare pump. The pool was there when we bought the house and there was some spare parts that were in there. You're welcome to have it. Not sure what shipping costs would be but I'm in 80127
What year is the WJ? The only upgrade are with the akebono on 02-04 IIRC. I would find early D30 knuckles to get better brakes if that's what you want to do. But honestly I'd just do the booester upgrade and get some decent brake pads. The 42re is junk. Nothing else is worth getting.
Looking forward to the build. JK axles are dumb money for what they are. I'd either get a HP30 and 8.25 built up or look for a HP44 and 9 rear. You'd probably have to narrow them as WMS is wider.
Nickintimes has a YouTube film documenting the process. It's not just a few sensors. You'll also need a newer power steering pump since the renix won't bolt up new exhaust manifold and other odds and ends. My project MJ had this swap. Honestly I'd go with what Cruiser is saying. He's probably forgot more about jeeps than most will ever know
Welcome!
-Diff identification tag
-Theres going to be loose connectors all over. Easier to have cars wired for everything and not need it versus having to wire in options
-Power window block off I believe
I haven't used them but another person in my WJ group had major problems with them recently. Basically head dropped a valve seat in under 5k miles causing the engine to be rebuilt again.
