here's my new (to me) 1991 Mj,

Specs:

4.0 inline-6, 2wd, 5-speed, minimal rust...picked it up for 200$. runs and drives amazing.

 

Plan: Hopped up engine, something to smoke the local rice burners...haha

 

 

And here's my other Mj 1986

 

Specs:

2.5 4 banger, 4wd, 5speed, lottsa rust. picked up for 500$ ran and drove amazing. Blew the motor though,

 

Plans: 4 banger replacement motor, and 6in skyjacker lift, and all the goodies.

Even better than touching the engine would be to swap a 3.55 geared axle under your 2wd. :thumbsup: Your acceleration off the line will always be hampered by the crappy 3.07 ratio.

 

And welcome! :wavey:

What would be a good donor vehicle with said axle gearing. Gotta junkyard this cause money is tight.haha :dunno:

any mj with an automatic i believe, for sure 4x4's with automatics.

My 4wd 5 spd mj had 3.07 gears from the factory.

IN that case i might have some 3.07s under my other 4x4 comanche, ill check that out today....

General rules of thumb under MJs and XJs (better check the tag to be sure):

 

4.0 + stick = 3.07

4.0 + auto = 3.55

2.5 + 5spd stick = 4.10

2.5 + 4spd stick = 3.55

2.5L + auto = 4.56

2.8L = better check to be sure

 

 

An XJ axle will need the perches moved to the MJ location.

WELCOME MAN! :cheers:

 

as for an axle, you can't go wrong with an exploder 8.8, you can get them with 4:10's and LS. that will help you bust some ricers! :banana:
