Diablito

Nice advice, very helpfull. I won't be needing the truck for several months, I just want to plan ahead. So as of now my #1 choice would be a 91'-92' , HO 4.0, AX-15 5spd, 4x4( NP231), shortbed. When I start building it up I'll definatley do a rear diff swap and maybe a front diff swap. I need a shortbed because where I wheel depature angle means alot and I'm used to wheeling with my wrangler. I've never done any internal engine work before, but I'd like to know some straight forward ways to remove most of that carbon crud build up from engine? As for testing renix sensors witha multimeter, how is that done? Are you checking continuity? Any how to links?

Hi all, I've been a jeep guy for 10 years. I've had a 92' XJ and a 95 YJ in that time. I need a pickup truck and would like to get a MJ. I plan on keeping it stock for the first year or so , but I'll eventually build it into a trail jeep. My questions are these; 1) What are the cherry years? I'm leaning toward a 91' or a 92' so I can have a high output 4.0 but I don't know how much difference there is between the HO 4.0 and the older one. 2) How much weight can I put in the bed of a short bed? I need to be able to either carry 2 dirtbikes or a generator, so atleast 600lbs. 3) Renix sounds terrible, is that so? Thanks
