Dude I am seriously interested in the 89 buckets. I would be willing to pick them up. Let me know what you want for them. :cheers:

Thanks, I might order another set from you if I don't go LEDs. Ok man just let me know.

I have some listed in the for sale section...... http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10779

nice find man. If you wanna sell it I will give you $85 delivered. :brows:

I had a black one that was kinda trashy. It was only the 4cyl but was pretty quick. Its amazing the difference a well balanced power to weight ratio can make.

Part of it could be that bungee cord assisted steering you have going on..... :D

I'll stick to coils and longarms, Never ever had death wobble. The moment you go to long arms, you don't have a stock setup any more. For the actual amount of work a front leaf conversion is, a guy could build some radius arms. I'm not big on radius arms, but they're better than front leafs. And a front leaf setup can deathwobble too. If you don't believe me, go talk to some YJ/SJ/CJ owners, a lot of them will complain of 'less than ideal' driving characteristics. And the front (stock) parallel 4-link can easily be stopped from deathwobbling. You just have to make sure everything is in proper working order - it's not like they wobbled from the factory. I own a CJ trust me front leaves will DW. Hell anything will DW if its not put together properly or is worn out. I however can drive my CJ 75mph down the interstate and have no problem whatsoever, how you might ask? Keep it in good repair and don't half @$$ the build. When it comes down to it for ride flex I would go with coils anyday of the week. For simplicity of building I would choose leafs. Its all a matter of personal prefrence its hard to say one is better than the other cause it isn't. They both have their own unique advantages.

No 97+ front here, the MJ still has its original. If you really want cheap 97+ parts check out this place, they may have a location near you: http://certifit.com/ Kewl for some reason I was thinking you had a 97+front clip already. Now on with the 2500 install..... :cheers:

I would be interested in your old 97+ front end when you get the 2500 stuff swapped on. Let me know :cheers:

Come on already I am having withdrawls. Any progress? Bump for the cleanest MJ build evar!!!!

1) ECU should be the same. It has nothing to do with the 4WD. 2) You have 2 options. You can either drill out the rivets and just bolt everything into the MJ doors or you can simply swap doors and associated wiring. 3) I can't really help on the whole antilock thing. I belive you would have alot of work in that one due to wheel speed sensors and wiring associated with the antilock. You might even have to swap axles to keep the wheel speed sensors. I don't know this for sure.

Check out Great Lakes Jeep Thing. they have a grill made just from the front end of a cj. Its name is bubba

thanks for the heads up pong.

I will try to get out to the garage and get pics tonight. I haven't opened them up yet to see what he did. I have a friend that can set up gears he has done thousands of sets literally. I just don't want to have to go through the expense if I don't have to.

Are there difference in the years of spiders?

northern indiana. You could ship them with the seats CW

Well that sucks. Anyone got any old carriers sitting around they wanna get rid of cheap?

I aquired a set of axles for my MJ (D30/D35) they are out of a late 80's MJ. The PO said he welded the spider gears front and rear. Mind you that I am working on a daily driver that quite possible will never see the trail. What do I need to "unweld" the diffs. Is it as simple as grinding off welds and installing new spiders? If so are there changes year to year in the spiders? Or maybe changes with the carrier split? I don't really want to regear or install all new carriers if I don't have to.

Cresent is a brand name. Its like calling locking pliers "vice grips".

I was just about to say that. I had a 91 XJ that I couldn't get the light to reset in and I finally read the manual :roll: and it said to apply lots of pressure to the pedal to reset the switch. One quick stomp later all was well.
