What will be a better option AX15 or NV3550? The easier the better with the least amount or additional parts / wiring mods.

The rear bumper has been permanently installed. The exhaust system will be replaced tomorrow. Old New

Finally finished welding the bracing and tow hitch / recovery points.

The previous owner installed an annoying Cherry bomb, so it had to go. I decided to replace the entire exhaust system to include the CAT. Here are a few parts.

I got bored with my ruby and sold it. I decided to build this instead My daily driver The wife's daily driver And finally our new baby MJ (for now)

Center section with a spring loaded fold down bracket. Something like this http://www.jegs.com/i/Xtreme%20Grilles/ ... /-1?CT=999

While waiting to find the perfect donor vehicle (tcase and tranny), I'm working on the body of the MJ. Old bumper New bumper

Here is a list of other things that I have replaced so far / maintenance. [*]Air Filter[*]Oil Filter[*]Oil change[*]Fuel Filter[*]Spark Plugs[*]Distributor Cap[*]Rotor Button[*]Spark Plug Wires[*]New Battery Cables[*]Crankshaft position sensor[*]Fuel pressure regulator[*]Vacuum lines[*]Engine plugs / Oil cap[*]Fuel pump[*]Passenger fender[*]Entire front grill, lights, and light housings[*]Replaced entire cooling system from close to open [*]Transmission fluid[*]Master brake cylinder [*]Replaced front dummy axle with a Dana 30 HP.

I finally decided to start building an MJ since they are getting harder and harder to find. I was fortunate enough to find an 89, manual, 4.0 - 2WD with no rust what so ever. I picked it up for $500 since the previous owner could not figure out why it was over heating. :clapping: He basically replaced the radiator and forgot to burp the close cooling system. :nuts: Anyway, I just went ahead and replaced the close system with an open system from a 97 XJ, Problem solved! Here is how it looked like when I picked it up. Here is what it looks like a few weeks later.

:dunno:

Thanks.. I got that covered, picked up a set of 4.10 gears already.

Finally got a chance to pick up the XJ (96) parts from my buddies shop. I guess I can start by swapping the front axle until I figure out the tranny / tcase dilemma. :mad:

Good to know.... Sounds like I need to sale the parts I currently have and find me an 87 - 90 XJ. Thanks

I'm an IT guy, so I'm always in front of a computer :hateputers: Anyway, the XJ is an automatic and my MJ is manual.

:huh???: Nobody knows? :dunno:

I just picked up a 1989 short bed Comanche with a 4.0, 2wd, Pukegeod :ack: transmission. My questions to you gents are following: Does a 1996 XJ Transmission and Tcase just bolt on to the Comanche? Will I need a new wiring Harness What other foreseeable issues may I come across during this project (drive shafts, clearance, etc) The day I picked her up. Towing it with my Cherokee Most of the Body work has been completed.... Working on the engine now (only 129K miles on it)
