Cheap beater, as long as it runs and drives after you're done, it'll be worth within spitting distance. Wrenching is only fun when you want to do it, not when you have to. Protect the MJ and Eagle at all costs.

It's not a law, it's a new LKQ inventory control tactic. From some of the FB groups I'm in, LKQ employees and customers are upset. It's ridiculous

Wow, that is perfection.

Truck looks great!

The world's slowest 8.8 swap is still underway. Have the axle broken down completely, going back together with Revolution 4.56 gears and all new bearings/seals.

I pay $114/mo for liability/comprehensive/roadside on a 2006 Honda Pilot, 2004 GMC Sierra and the 1989 Jeep Comanche through Travelers.

I did end up going with the 4.56 gears. Got all the tools and parts on the way or here, so here I go in the slowest way possible.

Long story short: LWB MJ. 4.0 HO, AW4, 4.5" lift, D30, 8.8 (going in), 32s. I'm trying to decide between 4.10s and 4.56s. Don't plan on doing much interstate driving. 4.10s would be a close equivalent to stock ratio, (27" and 3.55) How much will I regret it if I go with 4.10s over 4 56s? My main goal is to be able to drive 55-60 in 4th with the TCC locked at a reasonable RPM. I know 4.56s would make it more fun around town, which is mostly where I drive. Planning on going with Revolution gears unless someone has better suggestions. Yukon is just $$$ Thoughts?

Looks great!

Congrats! Looks like a blast to drive. Always have to support another SC MJ.

2 yards of mulch.

I missed this topic, haven't been very active here lately, but I have 4.5" Zone lift and am running 32x11.50R15 Cooper AT3 XLTs. They do rub while turning, however, that is the fault of the offset of the Mammoth Boulder 15x8 wheels I am running. With a more stock offset, I don't think they would rub. I'm about to regear. My 4.0 and AW4 won't stay in overdrive until 65mph or so. It will lock in and lock the torque converter at ~60, but the slightest incline or headwind and back to 3rd gear we go. I'm trying to decide between 4.10s and 4.56s yet.

I'm glad I swapped the 93 XJ harness into my 89. Factory power lock relays.

What??? I love this truck. Congrats to the new owner.

Thanks to@eaglescout526 , I learned my Comanche, which I know has been in South Carolina at least the last 20 years, came from.... Tacoma, Washington Eagle Jeep. Complete opposite end of the country. That's crazy to think about. I had figured no further away than maybe Tennessee.

One answer: Noco Genius packs. That's what I use at the shop. They're fantastic with a good warranty.

I haven't commented on this thread yet, I don't think, but I really like your MJ. Such a great DD build/look.

Leaves? Burn, but since I'm in town, mulch. Shrimp or lobster?

I like the look of the 2 doors, but if I'm going for another XJ, it would be a 4 door. One thing to keep in mind, I personally hate how 2 door length doors swing back at you when you're parking uphill. I've driven some cars that will straight knock me over, and I'm a pretty big dude.

Just a few thoughts. I work with quite a few rural mail carriers. Their vehicle is quite literally their money maker. Fix it right, fix it quick, and they are your most loyal customers. However, that being said, they need their car fixed ASAP most times. As far as liability, maybe do it for a "suggested cash donation". Most of the rural carriers I work with aren't compensated repair order by repair order, but given a yearly stipend.

Happy to welcome this little guy to the family today. Everybody is healthy and happy. Two boys now.

Looks like a very reasonable price

Do you have a multimeter? Get a helper and when it's not cranking, check voltage at the big wire and the small wire at the starter solenoid while your helper turns the key. You should have over 10V at both. If you have lower voltage on the big wire, check your battery terminals.
