lol thanks for the tip now all i need is a subaru :cheers:

so i drive 5 hours to pennsylvania to buy my 1988 mj 4.0 auto shortbed mj. i get there it looks decent so i load it on the flatbed. while my buddy is strapping it down he realizes there is no front driveshaft. the p.o. says it got stolen a while ago. i didnt make it into an issue because i had two back at home. so today i decide to bolt on the frnt dshaft. it doesnt shift out of 4wd. the lever deffinetly feels like it goes into 2wd but the indicator light stays on and frnt and rear axles are getting power. any ideas? i don't know where to start.

hey dirty i think u hold the record for longest project thread

the brakes on my 1990 mj had a 9 inch drum with 2.5 inch shoes. but i would asumme you could just swap the backing plates and everything should fit right on.

what did everyone do for surface prep?

not to make a bad situation worse, but theres a difference between psychic and psychotic :popcorn: :chillin:

does the krylon for plastics chip/peel less?

thanks for the tips guys i really appreciate it. nice waggy by the way ^

wow that thing looks sick.

I'm thinkin of just using black spraypaint to redo my mj. is it possible to use the can and still get it lookin half way decent? anyone done this, got any pics?

the non disco d30 also has a pretty lame uca mount. my buddy just toasted his in an accident. id stick with the disco.

make sure that yours actually has issues though. the 4.0 is a beast

if u decide u want to keep it original and u have a 4.0 ive got an 88 4.0 w/ 80k that id be willing to sell. doesnt matter when, as its still in the truck. ive got a whole drivetrain if u want it.

i got mine from advance auto. 50 bucks for all of them. quality is kinda poor though

any way to check w/o openin it up?

just wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not an np242 out of an 89 xj w/ aw4 tranny would bolt up to the chrysler tranny used in a 1998 grand cherokee. also the tcase has about 160k on it how much do these go for used?

hit quote in the post you wanna copy. to get your post above this one, I hit the quote button in your post. thanks rob isnt that nifty

so how does everyone copy another post into their post i can't figure it out

I've been to two Toby Keith concerts, and one Brad Paisley (<---awesome show!) nice man. ive only been to one show, Alan Jackson and Rodney Atkins and id go again in a second. hey twisted where in MA are u?

so if i could find a standard mj the dshaft would be closer to the length i need

does anyone else listen to country????

its an auto and its on the wheels

1. alan jackson 2. garth brooks 3. lynrd skynrd 4. alabama 5. Tim Mcgraw

no just the plain old soa but theres like 2 inches of shiny slipyoke that were covered before. i just don't wanna drive and drop the dshaft

would a tcase drop give me some more spline coverage?
