89 MJ

@70barracuda has the front bumper on his truck. An XJ kit would be cool.

They look really good cleaned up! Page 20 of my thread has a comparison for Renix TBs where it is easy to see before and after condition and shows the size difference.

Rock sliders hang below the body, so you’d see a large gap there. Rockers aren’t too bad to do on these trucks. And you can pull the doors off of any 4 door XJ. I’d recommend putting rockers and doors on it and foregoing rock sliders.

Your tail shaft may be too long, but if you’re lucky, you could get an adapter and NP241C that is driver side drop. That’s the route I would look into at least. You could get that adapter and transfer case out of an 88-98 GM truck with a floor shift transfer case.

I mostly agree with this. Advancing the timing with a high altitude CPS did have some improvement, but it only helps midrange power. I think the bored TB added a minute amount of power as well. Fuel injectors made no difference on my truck.

Will do. I emailed them last week with no response yet. I’m probably going to give them a call at some point.

Good to know!

I’ve read that having a TB spacer on these doesn’t add any power or mileage benefit anyways. I wouldn’t run it to be honest. That said, on this site, Mod 12 was a spacer on an HO XJ. He said it added a little bit of responsiveness and fuel economy. http://www.jeep4.0performance.4mg.com/diary.html

That would be cool!

Apparently Ares Fabrication is working on MJ rock sliders. I might consider getting a pair for my Comanche depending on what the pictures look like and if the quality seems decent. Does anyone have experience with this company? https://aresfabrication.com/shop/nostalgia-rock-sliders-m/

Have you verified everything is back in exactly how it came out? Fuel pressure should be verified at the fuel rail and all vacuum lines should be inspected for leaks.

I really like this Jeep and the way you're building it. Everything is purely functional and nothing is fancier than it needs to be.

This is fantastic! Drive safe and I wish you luck!

Anyone have these pieces between southern AZ and WI?

Found one that covers stock MJ wheels.

I think we do have one. I’ll find it in a little bit and tag you here

Good to know, thank you. Any swaps will get fuel injection.

I'm getting GMC Syclone vibes from this. I like it

Your best bet might be tech for this question. I wasn't able to find a picture otherwise I'd have an answer for you.

I'm not even seeing a transfer case shifter. $25,000 seems like a huge ask for a 2 wheel drive base model with abysmal pictures. Not that I'm one to talk about bad picture taking lol

I know that you bought this car with this engine swap mostly completed, but would you do it again? My car is getting to the point that it will need an engine in the next few years (or this summer if I decide to take it to school) and I'm not sure the route that I want to go. I'm considering a 4.0 with either an AW4 or an AX15 and an NP231J swap, which would be the easier route, or I'll do an LS with a 5 speed and an NP241C.

I've heard nothing but good things about Bilsteins. Those are probably going to be my next shocks for my Comanche.

Wisconsin doesn’t, but Arizona does! I’m liking it a lot, this is my second year here. I’m majoring in mechanical engineering.

Hopefully that solves it!

Yeah that's pretty absurd. By the time a person was to strip it down, I'd bet it would need rust repair on the bedsides, rockers, cab corners, and floors. On the bright side, it does have chrome mirrors and a chrome tailgate handle.
