Sic2000xj Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 has anyone ever seen a 2wd MJ with the 97-01 conversion?? i am in the process of purchasing a 91 2wd MJ and i want to do a full 97+ conversion (interior, exterior, engine, tranny). don't blast me for this but i already have a 2000 XJ with a 5.5 lift and 33's so the need for another lifted rig isn't necessary, so i was hoping to keep it 2wd.. i was wondering if anyone on here has or has seen this done... pics?? I'm not going to slam it or but 22's on it, i may to some mild lowering and put some 18's on it.. any pictures would be greatly appreciated.

TNT Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 try this... I want a street MJ too. This would be how I would build a street MJ... :D ZJ upcountry coils with 1-2 coils removed The largest swaybar that an ZJ uses Add a rear swaybar Custom stiff rear springs built for proper ride hieght mounts relocated as needed. Bilstein 7100 shocks 8000rpm Mopar 340 built, camed, with aluminum heads for about 450hp :chillin: A 150 shot of nitrous for kicks Built TF999 3000rpm stall converter and a reverse manual valvebody NP242HD Dodge transfercase In cab adjustable proportioning valve WJ front knuckles and brakes ZJ rear discs 97+ nose fenders and doors Cowl hood Plum Crazy paint The tire / axle combo would be non-disconnect D30 with a true track geared, 4.10 frt gears with 275/35ZR19 tires and Rear D44 with a detroit locker, 4.88 rear gears with 305/40ZR22 tires. This would have a top speed of 154mph at 8000rpm and spin 3500rpm at 65mph. That would be a 26.5"x10.9" front tires and a 31.5"x12.4" rear tires. A 340 will happily spin 3500 rpm all day long. :thumbsup: Find me a rust free MJ and I'll build it. :brows: :banana: :banana: :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 If i can recall, i might know someone who actually might have all materials needed to complete. There are a couple of sections of firewall that are different(according to him) so he actually has the cut out sections to weld in. Interior only, but complete. Out of a rolled 01 with 920 miles on it. Let me check and get back to you. Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Check out the projects in the projects forum. There are a couple guys doing the full 97+ interior, plenty of guys doing variations of the 97+ exterior, and a few that are dropping their 2wds. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche5L Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 i didnt drop mine, still on stock suspension, and did the +97 front clip swap about 6-7 years ago. i would love to do the interior swap and "newer" cherokees are becoming more popular in the junk yards so i still may find one. here's my 2wd: i still have a 91 MJ 4wd that i use in the woods, and "almost" ready to get an inspection on my '91 YJ. havent decided what I'm going to do with the YJ yet.

500 MJ Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 This one doesnt qualify as a completed project just yet, but its going to be someday soon, I hope... :doh: :wall: :ack: It's going to remain 2wd too. I've got no need for 2 4wd MJ's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
