Hello once again, iam looking at doing a 4x4 swap into my 88 MJ. The parts are coming from a 92 xj which has the AW4 and my Comanche is a 2wd standard trans. My biggest concern is hooking up the aw4 solenoids to work on the renix system with out swapping the entire 92 wire harness. I have a complete 92 xj so I will have everything available. Will it be a nightmare swap? Thanks

Thanks for all the input about this axle. I was mostly concerned with the axle housing and its strength. Thinking about some of the ford 9" housings used on Broncos and F150's they held up very good so i don't think i need to worry. I have no plans to offroad hard so i feel its going to work good. Thanks

wheel pattern is 5 on 4.5. Axle width is 59.5" D to D

Hello all MJ owners. Joined a couple years ago, but have never made a post. What thoughts and or experence does anyone have with using a mopar 8 3/4 rear end for off road. I allready have this complete assy in my garage. Thought about using the 8 3/4 when i converted my 88 MJ from a 2wd to a 4wd some day. Width is good and has 3.55 gears w/ clutch type posi. Is using a 1pc type axle housing good or bad for off road. This will not be used for hard off roading. Doesnt seem like anyone uses a 1pc housing very often. Any way thanks, like this web site and enjoy reading about your MJ projects. Thanks Paul
