4play Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 So that is why I just want to build an MJ that is capable of handling the things that I am going to throw at it. I think that's what are all doing .... only some people throw more than others. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I wne tover that one just to see if I could... I iwish I could find the pics of that one after I tubed the rear... It was awesome. I learned someting :eek: You can run you engine on its side when it is leaning towards the driver, but when you do it towards the passenger it loses oil pressure :hmm: I was just combating your statement that anywhere in VA can be done in a stock Rubi with 31's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Can a mod move this to PirateJr, please? :D Get a non disco D30 out of an '86 XJ with the fulltime case- instant 4.10s in most cases. The 2.8 leaks enough oil that rust insn't an issue. ;) Then swap everything from the knuckles out from your rig. (Now is a good time for new ball joints, BTW) Swap in a LockRight or Aussie, pocket the $300-$400 you save and call it done. :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89MJComanche Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 I have been looking and I can't find one from an 86 that is worth using. I found one with 3.73 and I found several that had the covers removed and were sitting in the mud. It is not as easy as one would like to think to find one...

DirtyComanche Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Anything with the 2.8 will probably be 4.10. Likewise, 2.5's should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Rod Jeep Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I don't know about 2.5 4wd's, but my 2wd I'm converting had a 2.5 and came with 3:55's. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Autos came with 4.10s, me thinks. And the ones that came with AW4s got 4.56. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I don't know about 2.5 4wd's, but my 2wd I'm converting had a 2.5 and came with 3:55's. 8) maybe they were :chillin: instead of buildin jeeps, and put the 4.0 axle under the 2.5? jeep did some weird stuff. :thwak: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 2.5 + 4 speed manual = 3.55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
