89 MJ

Is anyone already registered for the show?

Heck yeah! You couldn't even make it up our driveway in the snow though if you did that. It would be a great time in a parking lot though!

Right!!! This is how I feel too!

Sorry, that is going in my other truck.

This is a parts list and things that you will need to do in order to swap an AX-15 out of a 97 Cherokee into an 89 MJ. I can get a list of part numbers if they are wanted AX-15 (duh) Both the Peugeot and AX-15 transfer case. You will need to use the slip yoke in the end of the Peugeot transfer case on the AX-15 transfer case in order to use your current drive shaft 94-96 clutch master cylinder, hydraulic line, and slave cylinder (the mounting holes are not the same on a 97+ master cylinder) All of the 97 clutch stuff (if I remember correctly) I ordered a flywheel for a 1990 MJ (AX-15, but still a Renix MJ)

This is going to be a write up on how to put an 96 4.0 in a Renix era MJ while keeping the Renix wiring harness and the Renix parts you can use and the HO parts that you can use. I also swapped in a 97 AX-15, so not all of these parts will necessarily be compatible with your transmission. I can update with part numbers for the parts that I ordered if it is desired Renix intake manifold, that way no adapter would be needed to install the Renix TB. HO header (it was just in better shape than my Renix header) (This is optional, your Renix header should bolt right up too) HO exhaust (from the header to the cat), this will move your oxygen sensor into the exhaust instead of the header. Is there any benefit to this? I do not know. You will need to modify you intake a little bit to make these work together. (Not necessary if you use Renix header) Renix CPS, this will make sure that you are getting the correct signal to the engine Renix Flywheel/Flexplate, this will make sure that the CPS will get the correct reading from the flywheel, and allow it to start. An HO flywheel will not allow for the truck to start (ask me how I know) Renix distributor, cap, and rotor, this is part of the Renix wiring system, so you need it Renix spark plugs, again, goes with the distributor All of your Renix accessories Renix accessory mounts And then just all of your Renix wiring (knock sensor, etc)

If I keep my Ugly Truckling, I might need to look into one of these rear ends to swap in. How do these compare in strength to an 8.8?

Dang, you have quite the fleet of older vehicles. What are the plans when this one is running and driving?

Now you have me curious. I will need to crawl under it and look at it today. It would be a great truck for someone to restore. As of now, I am planning on making it run and drive and go from there. I will probably put floors in it too.

I will post the VIN later, but I am just getting a start on my registry post for my new truck (It is stuffed full of parts right now). 1988 4.0, 5 speed, 4x4, SWB, D30 and D35 Cigarette lighter, factory clock, tow mirrors I believe it was Colorado Red Pioneer with tan interior originally. I'm pretty sure it also had a bench seat. It's a pretty decent truck, really. It is rust free, other than your typical floor rust. It had a sportbar, but I am unsure if it was original or not, as it does not have a switch for the sport bar lights. It is a project awaiting work, once the work is done, it will either just get driven and used or sold. Current owner is me. I have have no idea if that VIN is correct.

Awesome! Thanks. I will do that.

Thank you!

Heated seats are probably in my blue truck’s future. That will probably happen when I replace the bench seat cover.

To be honest, I went there to buy a rollbar an an NOS tailgate. A truck just came home too. I did look over the truck fairly well, but did not look at the crossmember.

I believe it is. Thank you!

There is not one on the slave cylinder.

How do you bleed the clutch on an external slave AX-15? My slave cylinder has no bleeder.

I actually just bought a truck with one, so I think I should be able to come up with something. Thanks though!

Maybe he has longer gears in it though so he doesn't need to shift as much and wants the quicker spool to have more power to make up for the lower RPMs, but I'm no drag racing expert.

It might be for the quicker spooling. From my knowledge on turbos, smaller ones typically spool quicker than larger ones.

Does the tonneau cover actually seal on the sportbar?

FC170 LJ or JKU?

I ordered a new vinyl floor for my MJ from ACC. I hate it. It is ablsolute garbage. I've had it in my truck for over a year, and it still doesn't fit how I want it to. :
