89 MJ

If you want that, you should ready through some of the older build threads and MJOTM posts. Here are some of my favorites. A lot of these have links in signatures to other threads too.

We've seen trouble before and I'm sure we will likely see trouble again, you'll just have to make sure that you stick around to see it.

In the better part of a decade, I can only recall two people that seemed to be troublesome. There may have been others, but I can think of two for sure. For the most part, this forum has been pretty great and pretty much everyone at least tolerates each other, with most people getting along like old friends.

I've done pegged the speedometer once. I have no desire to do it again. I also have a hard time believing it would reach 120. Maybe 100, but not much beyond that.

The link works for me

This is my kind of dealer

I would think this would make it a better daily as well. Though time becomes a problem with this too. I will echo everyone else though, I wouldn't use the MJ, unfortunately. It would look cool, but I think the MJ is too light, especially in the rear. I don't even like towing 1500lbs in a trailer behind my MJ, I can't imagine double that.

He’s asking so that other people know not to buy the brand if they didn’t fit. If it’s a brand that’s commonly recommended, we should know so that we stop recommending that. Moog, TRW, or SKP is probably decent. Heck, even Dorman is probably fine.

I wonder which end of the hose he is plugging. Hopefully its something like a bad hose instead of a bad booster. I know, wishful thinking.

I dig it. It would look really good with chrome header panel trim.

I see. So it’s only beneficial on the 87-88s that still have the C101.

Pic doesn’t show up

Alright, I’ll be the one to say I’m anti bypassing the connector. Now when your CPS goes, you’re doing more cutting as opposed to just undoing 2 bolts and a connector.

Here’s the last pic I have of it from some time in June 2025. Haven’t really seen the truck since then either.

That’s a beautiful truck. Hard to believe it has that many miles.

That thing is killer! Best interior color too.

It’s a long bed, so it won’t work for your truck

That’s awesome!

Being that the 88 currently has 3.07s and based on his signature, looks like the 88 has a 5 speed. Personally, I think 4.10s are a lot of gear for a truck that lives on the street. If I were to do my truck again, I’d probably run 3.73s with 4.10s. I’d probably even try the 3.55s before regearing at all. With 4.10s, I find a lot of speeds that I do are right between gears. 30 mph feels between 3rd and 4th and 45 feels between 4th and 5th. Not to mention, my 1-2 shift is usually in the middle of an intersection, which I don’t care for.

Gotcha, thank you. So real no major downside for an application like this.

Not to hijack, but are there any disadvantages to this?

I say remove it

For the most part, a D44 rear should be the same as most other D44 rears. 3.07s were standard with a 4.0 and a 5 speed.

Vintage Air stuff is the bees knees. It’s expensive, but it’s what I’ll use in place of even factory air stuff in restos.

I really like that interior. It does seem to be a high quality build. Even the engine compartment is painted to match the rest of the Jeep. The color choice makes it look like they forgot paint and cleared right over the primer, but at least it seems to have been well done.
