Incommando

Gonna inherit me some mj's up in here

The later 231 (assuming that is what was used in the swap) uses a sensor/switch on top of the t-case to activate the 4wd light. I don't know the wiring for the in-dash light but you can start at that switch to see which position sends the signal. Wire power in from keyed source and trace wire from dash light to connect to the other pole on the switch.

Dad!

Much. I went with Bosch. Easy install and it is working fine

In hear "more reliable" for AX5 rather than stronger. The two often but do not always mean the same thing.

32's on 3.55's. Does fine off and on road. Not optimal for either but as I do not do strictly one or the other. I love how the "conventional wisdom" is that on 31's your jeep performs like new but on 32's it will suck and should be crushed. lol.

Another copy of that same bumper was on CL around here for $80 last week. It must have sold. You can find some people trying to get $500 out of them used.....

You could do an SOA on rear for your lift as it is no more work if you are swapping axles anyway. 5.5" on the front is a good starting place to match the rear. The best bang for the buck may be staying SUA and going with the zone 4.5" lift.

Good to know. Thanks. I have a variety of front puck sizes so I will probably just bite the bullet and raise the front

Thanks. This is helpful

My front springs have settled a bit now that I have a couple of thousand miles on my RE 5.5" front lift. The winch may have something to do with it. Anyway I do not like the "rake" look. Rather then raising the front back up I would like to lower the rear a bit. The rear is a SOA using 2wd springs. I am reluctant to start removing leafs as the springs are pretty soft as it is. I do not want to promote spring wrap or other axle movement control issues. I have heard about using XJ shackles to lower the rear of an MJ but I can't find many details. In looking at the stock MJ shackles I notice that there is not a lot of free room left between the spring eye and the body side of the shackle. I was wondering if putting a shorter shackle on there would cause interference or a loss of shackle movement that would affect my flex. The rear suspension on the truck flexes very well now and it seems like a shorter shackle would reduce spring movement/flex? Thought? Hints? Throwing of rocks?

Just by reputation of the company. And they have a good one. Zone is the lower-price point arm of BDS.

The price is in line with other premium bumpers.

Just wanted to say that this might be the best post of the year, so far. :clapping: X2

This thing works great. I got very lucky and my pioneer stripes all peeled off in one long strip.

Lol. No no, i think she is searching for another elusive sea creature. .. . a bearded clam. Please don't ban me. :peek: The bearded ones are almost extinct nowadays

Every once in awhile you need to add Astroglide to the list of what can make anything fit.

Considering the the Wrangler YJ was leaf spring all around and had a lousy reputation for articulation, and that Jeep's solution with the TJ Wrangler was to go to coils on all four corners, I see no benefit to converting a front coil suspension to leaf springs. I think a good long-arm suspension kit would be far superior, for a lot less money.That was largely due to ignorance and a fear of change on the part of those with "conventional wisdom" at the time. In time it turns out that the flat leaf springs of the YJ work well and it is now recognized that flat leafs are desirable. The TJ went to coils to address ON road driveability/ride comfort and increased safety/litigation concerns rather than off road performance. As mentioned above by another poster link suspensions are far superior on road. A guy I wheel with put full widths under an xj and went to leafs in the front. Using used FSJ springs and hangers from Barnes he claimed to have about $200 in the front suspension. I don't think you can do a link suspension on axle swap for a lot less than $200. The most common way to do the leafs is shackle hangers sleeved through the subframe for the rear mounting point and attaching the springeye mount to a simple fabbed front cross member. This guy used a length of 4x4 square tubing. It also seriously tightened up the front end.

A Seattle fan can call someone a cheat? That POS Carroll is as cheating a low life as ever drew breath. What he did to USC is disgusting. It would be great if both of these classless teams lost today.

I have posted pics of my jeep on and off the road. No posers here. Goof. And a jealous goof at that. If you ever grow a pair maybe you can take your jeep off road. Who am I kidding? That isn't going to happen.

Proof that book learnin' and "certifications" mean little without common sense. I provided examples of water situations that did not require "blasting" anything. I guess your claimed education did not prepare you to think for yourself if you can't imagine such scenarios for yourself. Typical. And an "engineer" who runs k&N's especially on a jeep... just makes me chuckle. Proof that catchy ads fool the gullible. Maybe you are the "engineer" who designed that Tornado?

Completely different mounting set-up

I had trxus M/T's on my '79 Cherokee Chief. I liked those tires. I always like seeing your truck

It looks like one of those FJ's that a meth head modified.
