89 MJ

Thanks, this is all being considered.

Thanks. I’m going to be using your website through the swap.

It can be a second vehicle. I’m comfortable with all of the wiring.

Thanks! That’s was a lot of useful information!

Alrighty then.

👍

Thanks. It’s got manual windows.

Thanks. So, correct me if I’m wrong-I need to pull all of the wiring out of the XJ, cut out parts from the XJ harness I won’t need (interior lights maybe) and splice in the MJ parts I need (rear section for taillights and etc.). Does that sound correct?

Good point.

Sweet. I may be referencing that.

Thank you. I’ll need to think on this. I want a nicer quality, but I’m not sure if the work is worth it.

So I’ll need engine/dash harness? Or should I put the Renix TB and wiring on the 96 engine?

No, I’m putting my 96 engine and wiring in it. I’m just wondering what wiring needs to get pulled to basically make mine an HO MJ.

Looks fun! And expensive.

I’m pulling the engine out of my 89 to drop in my engine out of a 96. What all do I need to pull out of the 96 to swap the engine/fuel injection? I’m doing the 96 swap to rid my MJ of some of its current issues (it has a misfire and knock). I want to swap the dash and gauge cluster to the 96 style as well, is there anything else I should pull out of it?

Thanks guys!

Oh that’s my plan! if I do end up with an auto one, it’ll get swapped for a manual eventually.

I’d say it’s worth every penny. You’d be hard pressed to find a nicer original. This looks like something that should be in @Minuit’s collection.

Thanks, I haven’t ridden in one, so I wanted to make sure they don’t ride like a lumber wagon.

Lol

It was the All Breeds Jeep Show. It was cancelled. https://comancheclub.com/topic/60740-all-breeds-jeep-show-2020-in-carlisle-pa/

For now, an axle swap is nowhere on my list of modifications. How is does the ride quality compare to a an MJ or any other Wranglers?

Start with @cruiser54‘s tips and go from there. Be be sure to add it to the registry if you haven’t already!

I would love to have one, but they are out of my price range and the lockers need to be rebuilt in them semi frequently.

Have you had any issues with it?
