Nevermind I have all 4wd parts now :rotf:

I have the Dana 35 with 3.07 gearing. I started my 4wd conversion today and decided to replace my timing chain cover while I was at it, which slowed me down considerably. lots of brackets to remove and bolts to lose :mad: ...inserting the axle is hopefully the easiest part.

Id like to upgrade my rear brakes to discs someday, speaking of brakes, and I can use the kit made for the cherokee, right?

Junkyards usuallybash the gas tanks open when they get to the yard, but I got a brand new looking sending unit from the junkyard and it works great.

My friends and I tried putting the 134 conversion oil in my system and it wouldnt even get out of the can, and we had it hooked to the post on the right with the max a/c going. There was absolutely nothing in the system given it sat for 8 years before I got to it, so what am I doing wrong? :???:

oh yea, its a dana 35 rear end.

How long is the driveshaft on am 89 MJ 4x4 with a 10/5 tranny and 231 t-case? I'm about to get a driveshaft cut and need to get it right the first time.

To check your tie rod ends, take a big breaker bar, brace it against something, and try to push down on the top of all your tie rod ends. If it depresses any, replace it.

My suggestion is don't even take a 2wd MJ offroad if you don't have to, but if you do, keep the wheels straight and get some speed coming up to a mud patch. If the ground is dry however, go for it, just don't stop :banana:

I need a rear driveshaft for my swb 89 Comanche, I have the 10/5 tranny and np231 t-case with a dana 35, I live in the north Texas area

:thumbsup: I got the vacuum harness, all is good.

Thats a nice ZJ...so what year XJs are most likely to have the 3.07 d30? This is pretty interesting.

It's...pretty damn big, and heavy.

I don't plan to lift the truck anytime soon, I'm just tired of getting stuck on wet grass :fs1: I'm also wanting the stock 3.07 front axle too so I can use 4wd on the road and I don't want to mess with my stock rear end.

I don't see any rubber on my driveshaft, I'm not sure how theyd cut it I just don't wanna screw up my driveshaft and be without my comanche til I buy another driveshaft

my bad thats what I meant...alright thanks.

Can I use a front Dana 30 off of a 1993 grand cherokee ZJ bodystyle on my 89 MJ?

Off the top of your head, does anyone know how much they had to cut their 2wd rear driveshaft when the t-case was finally bolted on?

The np231 is a command-trac transfer case, but thanks for the input.

I'm looking for a reverse light wiring harness for the 10/5 tranny and a vaccuum switch harness for an np231 t-case for my 4x4 conversion. I'm in the north texas area and will pay for shipping. I will need a 3.07 d30 front axle soon as well (that hasnt been chopped up any) but I'm in no hurry, and this I would rather go and pick up somewhere close. Anything else you think I may need just tell me, thanks

Okay thanks this was very helpful

And the wrangler is an 88, probably an I6. I'm wanting to pull the 10/5 out of it but am not sure if I have to bolt a different tcase on it-

I have an 89 MJ with a 4.0 and the 2wd 10/5 tranny, and I live in the texoma area of north texas.

Can I use a 10/5 tranny with a wrangler 231 t-case for a 4x4 swap? and can I use a front d30 from a 1990-96 xj axle on my 89 MJ? I'm also not sure how to read the gearing off the tag on my d35 rear end.
