    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.

    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!

    Feel free to start a thread for that ZJ too!

    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.
  16. 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.

    That seat turned out very well

    I I always like watching the hardcore builds
  19. 89 MJ
    Well that’s not cool at all…
  20. 89 MJ
    That thing is running very rich.

    Didn’t say that the difference wasn’t noticeable. I am saying that the effort of swapping the engine, trans, driveshafts, and engine wiring is a ton of work when there are other engines you can swap in for similar amounts of work.
  22. 89 MJ
    Definitely an AW4. Is your truck 2wd or 4wd? The transfer case will make it trickier if it’s 4wd, but still not bad. Keep an eye on the trans dipstick as it’s coming out so you don’t bend it. You might want to add your truck’s info to your signature.

    It rained on the way home, so the dust became mud on the Jeep

    The Silverbell-Sasco loop north of Tucson can be checked off the list. 20 miles there, 50 miles on dirt, then 50 miles home and the Jeep didn’t miss a beat.

    You’ll need the trans from the 4.0 Jeep too. Bellhousing was different between the 2.5 and 4.0. Though if you aren’t happy with the power of the 2.5, I think you’ll be disappointed with the 4.0 after doing all of that work.
