Does anyone make an adapter to put a 5 or 6 Speed Auto behind a 4.0 6cyl in a Comanche ? Just wondering if this has ever been done or is possible w/o a boat load of $$$? Could it be done to a 4x4 or a 2 wheel drive? Olddog

I know there was an article about swapping a rock-trac transfer case from a rubicon TJ Wrangler into a Cherokee. Would this same swap work in an MJ ? The New Venture 241J (NP241J or NVG241OR)case with a 4:1 low range built in seems like it would be a good deal if it would go in an MJ. The article was in the summer 2011 4X4 Garage magazine. Does anyone know if there are any other auto. trans. that will fit a 4.0 6 cyl? Just wondering if any other models or makes have a 5 speed (or 6) auto trans that would bolt up to a 4.0? Thanks, Olddog

"i believe the edge trail jammer's module is only for 97+" -Nope, didn't know it was just for the 97 and up. Still new at this game. Guess I'd have to get the intake manifold off the 99 and go a different route - would a turbo city stage 3 kit work on a 91-92 ? Something along that line w/ better distributor rotor and cap, hotter coil, better intake air filter set-up. I know the two 44's are a bit much but i have access - why not use them. (with the 32 or 33" tires ?) "you thought about just swapping the header panel/fenders and doors over? not a complete 97+ but gives it a good update thats pretty easy" Have given that a lot of thought and if the 91 - 92 doesn't have a very good front end it would be the next project.

I'm hoping I've stuck this in the correct section. I am going to buy a Comanche within the next 6 months. My dilemma is I really like the MJ's w/ the '97 Cherokee up front body work and newer engine/trans. swaps. I also love the 91 - 92's w/ the better (to my thinking) engines and electronics. So do I hold out for a low mileage 91 - 92 w/ the 4.0 6 and an auto trans 4x4 short bed (preferably a pioneer or eliminator) in really good shape --- or do I go for a 90 or earlier in good shape and do the Cherokee 97 up swap out. I am only fair at mechanically large jobs - used to do all my own work but as the smog and electronics got more and more complicated the less I did. I still have all the tools, but not the engine hoists, electronic meters, or larger equipment. I am retired and don't need to worry about how long something is out of action so that is a plus. What would be the advantages of buying a 91 - 92 and doing minor upgrades over the 90 and lower years w/ 97' Cherokee swap out of running gear and body parts and interior? This seems a little ominous to an old dog like myself who has to rely on himself alone for the majority of the work w/o paying for things to get done. I am not a serious off the roader. I like fire trails, mild off roading, camping, hunting and fishing w/ the grandchildren. Living in North East Georgia gives me lots of opportunities to go off the beaten path. Big lifts, serious off road equipment and all that goes w/ it is not in my future. A back injury and medical retirement took care of that. My plan for a 91-92 would be a 3-4" lift, 31, 32 or 33 inch tires on stock(?) wheels. Mild engine upgrades (Edge Product's Trail Jammer Package), Header and Flow Master Catalytic Converter and exhaust. 44 front and rear axles w/ rear disc brakes. Sprayed in Bed liner and a few other projects to keep things safe and fun. I don't like things to break on me especially out in the boonies. I am not a rich man and would appreciate your learned opinions on what would be the better choice for me in the long run? Anyone living near the Braselton/Hoschton Georgia area I would especially like to hear from you. Thanks for your time, Jeff "Olddog" Cummings Hoschton, Ga. 30548 jlc3835@yahoo.com
