"great on gas" I've never heard of a 4.0 powered jeep, let alone a lifted 4.0 jeep being halfway decent on gas, let alone great :nuts:

From another 2.8 guy, don't get bigger tires until you have a bigger engine. I dropped down to 205's on mine. Does fine on and offroad with smaller tires, they're Firestone Destination A/Ts, look good, run good, and you still "feel" like you have a little bit of power in your engine. Just my .02

Mine is an oddball too. 2.8, 5spd, selec-trac, chrome everything, cloth bench, aluminum wheels, 3pc slider window, idiot lights. It's an X

Family has 5 Got a bombardier fish n ski, a older black master craft fish n ski, an even older ski-bee project for a fast toy, an 14ft aluminum fishing boat, and a canoe. Pics maybe later if i can find any

If you have cruise control there are two cables, one from tcase to cruise sensor, and one from sensor to speedo. Also some cables have a steel housing, not plastic

I've contemplated it, I had a free Ford 4.9, but it just physically wouldnt fit, and I wasnt up to the fab work required with nothing to really gain, aside from the kool factor. But I imagine it just wouldnt fit.

^That. Love willy's jeeps! Looks like it was a great show!

I'd cut a strip of sheet metal, use it to bridge the cab between the inner and outer fender, and just weld it all around, clean it up, and paint it. As long as your handy with a grinder it should look good when your done!

Mine still looks good in the envelope it came in. Someday I'll get around to taking the headache rack off and putting it on

Huh...guess I need to browse the classified forum more.

P/n 82200988 had the drilled mounting holes in the bumper for the black license plate light guards, p/n 82200988AB did not. Always drooling every time i see your mj! Such a clean, good lookin truck! :bowdown:

Your interior is awesome! Goes together really well!

The trans your looking for is the NV5600, very sought after. Best thing dodge ever did, started using it in 99. And I have heard the 7.3's are good motors, never been a ford fan though so couldnt tell you anything about them. 6.0 powerstrokes (again hearsay) are not a good engine, and are not worth any money. don't ya know ford didnt need the obama bailout because of the revenue from 6.0 repairs? :yes:

Welcome! Always cool hearing from guys across the big puddle!

Dodge manual trans are good, autos, not so much, but with a diesel I'd rather have the auto anyway. And the 6bt was the first gen cummins, with a p-pump and 12v. The second gen 5.9 was called the 5.9 ISB (24v). The 06 dodge would be the 5.9 ISB, which has EFI live and is preferable to the 6bt's p pump. Great engines, bullet proof, can be tuned well (cousins 01 ISB is soon to be pushing over 800hp). As long as you get a manual trans, it should be a great towing rig, though I would opt for 4x4 as well, just preferece.

Jolt cola...havent seen that stuff around here in..7 or 8 years

:rotf:

I can already tell you that the firewall will need some Thor style bfh love

90, while low, isn't exactlty a game changer in a 4.0. My friends 88 xj ranged from 87psi to 114, with 4 cylinders below 95, and that thing would still $#!& n git

I'm on a phone so I haven't hit the link yet, but has anyone seen all the recycling of animation clips throughout Disney's history? Pretty cool how they do it

Id swap my chrome tailgate handle for a black one

Its an aquada with a different body on it...probably 4 year old design now.

don't really think I do...but if your feeling adventurous feel free to browse my photobucket. May have something you can use?

Holy thread revival... Didnt end up doing the 4.0 swap, decided that, for the labor involved, I'd rather put in a small block or a diesel, so my mj is just putting around with a tbi block 2.8 that I carb'd. Runs alright.

Whered you get that diff cover? That thing is sick!
