woah... would it be possible to get a SCAN of that body and frame alignment page? what book did THAT come out of anyway??

YES you absolutely are playing with fire on this one but it's nearly justified by the cool vehicle choice why not get a beater j box?

it's more of a time thing than anything isnt it? =[

link?

8th digit of vin = "L" diff cover is that second one. sweet, I have a Dana 35 what does this mean though? lol. I have no idea what I have in my hands, is it a locker? how much is it worth? I'm planning on replacing the entire rear end with an axle with 4 trailing arms and a watts linkage. So I may want to sell it to offset the costs. I got this jeep for $500. btw

So what are the levels? Apparently I can spell Comanche now.

I've lost the link, but there are FSM floating around the net. If you can't find it, i'll email or host it somewhere for you. The order and torque you put the bolts down in are VERY important. and no, with a proper pre cut gasket, no sealant is needed.

This is my first project car, as well as my first pickup and jeep. All I can say now is that I am hooked, and 100% a jeep guy. I'm seriously considering a trail rig after everything I've seen: a TJ maybe. But for now, the MJ is the street jeep. I met some guys at work today who are jeep aficionados. They claim that the MJ is NOT a real JEEP because: -it's a damn pickup -it's not a 'vert -not a wrangler My counter argument: -it's got the same axles -same motors -signature grille -and offroad prowess (in 4wd form) Well, help me with the argument!

Mine have developed two quarter sized holes. I'd much rather replace them than the patch bondo jobs How Do i replace them? And is replacement ok for structural integrity? Are they spot welded? Do I just drill out these spots and go on sherman parts and order new rocker panels to weld in? Thanks in advance!

Sweet. keep it up guys. BTW - how do you identify HD rear axles? "metric tonne package"? Let's get some better pictures in this too! Calling pingpong's monster machine

sweet, thanks. Actually, I'm looking for header panels. I've called most junkyards in southern ontario and they all want $175 for it alone. When I asked for front clips, they wanted $1800. This is without engine or suspension; REDICULOUS. To top it off, no dash either: $300 for it. (planning on dash as well, will it fit??) Would someone be willing to help me source a front clip with dash from a 97+ cherokee from the states? I'm willing to pay someone for their time. Otherwise, i'm going to be buying aftermarket.

So i ended up salvaging a bunch of parts from the junkyard today, the mirror being one of them. I ended up getting a non folding mirror! So now the mirrors don't match on my MJ. No big deal, pass safety, get plates -> fix the old mirror/get 97+ mirror =] thanks everyone for your help.

hope i'm not being a bother with more questions than answers, it'll change soon! does anybody know if the 97+ XJ side mirrors are bigger? and w ill they fit on the comanche's doors?

I just realized this might be better off in the "pub" section
