    More flex than my Wrangler though!

    I’d get the 4L60e rebuilt completely. As long as you change the fluid in it fairly regularly, it should live a long life. My parents had one in an 04 Suburban they bought new. The thing towed greater than its towing capacity a few times and had 190k miles on it when it got totaled by a hailstorm. Never needed any transmission work.

    There’s a vent on the fuel filler neck, right? Is it possible that the truck was slightly overfilled and it was leaking out of that?

    Best part was driving it in the winter. Never got stuck and the carburetor never cared about the cold. It struggled less than lots of new cars. The CJs are great, but man, that Elco would’ve been such a cool rig. My Dad had one with a V8 and a 4 speed as a first car, but someone pulled out of a parking lot at night with no lights and the it got wrecked. I think the ergonomics of a G body are darn near perfect.

    In the order that they appeared in the school lot, my Dad’s 2000 Silverado 2500 plow truck, my 89 MJ, and my 86 Eagle. No pics handy of the 2500 and we’re all familiar with the other two I feel.

    Looking great!

    This might be one of the best feelings ever.

    Everything will swap over. Biggest difference is the engine management. The header panel also changed. Unless the body is much nicer, I think I’d keep trying to fix the existing Jeep.

    Where at in SW WI? I’m from the La Crosse area. In fact, my MJ is still up there for now.

    No shame in used parts! Might as well save a buck where you can. The general rule of thumb is that your thread engagement must be equal to the diameter of the stud/bolt. If the diameter is 1/2” (which IIRC, the wheel studs are), then you need to make sure that the threads on the stud are engaged on at least 1/2” of the nut.

    Looks right based on my memory too. Also, what a title for a thread

    I don’t think the battery cables will make much difference in the headlights. You will see the difference in starting the truck.
  13. 89 MJ
    I would go with the heaviest cables you can afford. Have you added a headlight relay harness yet? That’s the common fix for our headlights.

    It desperately needs sway bar disconnects. It was flexed out enough there that the little street tires lost traction and it needed 4wd. I’m pretty sure my MJ flexes more

    I did an 8.8 in my truck. The Explorer ones are too narrow. I’d recommend one from an Explorer Sport Trac. It’s much closer to the width of an MJ rear. I’d also recommend checking out a Liberty 8.25 swap.

    Another adventure down. Almost at 1300 miles now.

    I hate to rain on your parade, but that’s a D35. Looks like a good truck though!
  18. 89 MJ
    Feel free to start a thread for that ZJ too!
  19. 89 MJ
    I did the same. It looks great, especially in chrome

    I’ve heard that Timken is now moving production back to the US. Not sure if this is true or where in that transition they are though. Never heard of this Axiom company.

    Well that figures. I’m in AZ and my parts are in WI. I’m surprised the black is hard to find, that seemed to be more common when I was looking.
  22. 89 MJ
    I don’t know for sure, but depending on location, I have a full black set of front end trim (metal trim, turn signal bezels, headlight bezels, grille) that I would trade for chrome. The black might need a repaint though.
  23. 89 MJ
    That seat turned out very well
  24. 89 MJ
    I I always like watching the hardcore builds
  25. 89 MJ
    Well that’s not cool at all…
