Ridgerunner Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Hello Since this is my first post here I figured I would introduce myself and Start My Build thread Carl Rasmussen Fuquay Varina NC I just picked this MJ up last week off of Craigslist for $100 I got this 89 MJ and I am going to transplant everything over from a 98-01 XJ. My plan is to make this look totaly Stock Just like it rolled off the assembly line in 2001 I currently have my eye on a 01 XJ for the donor. The MJ has a good frame and Cab and that is about it. I will start Gutting it out this week in preperation for the newer parts. Here are pics of it when I got it home.
Ridgerunner Posted December 3, 2009 Author Posted December 3, 2009 I also Scored a Very nice bed and tail gate from a truck At LKQ (Pick and pull yard). It has a few minor dings on the out side but the inside of the bed is near perfect.

Ridgerunner Posted February 8, 2010 Author Posted February 8, 2010 Well I went and pick up my Parts Jeep that will supply me most of the parts I need to build my MJ. The Cherokee is a 98 limited with leather and power driver seat, Cruise, ABS NP242 2wd,4wd-h, 4wd Full time and 4lo. It has a HP D30 in the front and a D35 in the rear. the prevouse owner had all of the maintenence done at the dealer and with 140k on it the engine look and runs like a 50k motor . So I got a few thing to finish on some other projects and then I am going to get working on it again Pictures. GAve the J10 a work out Image Not Found

johnnybebad Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 D35 in the rear of the 98 ?? Figured it would have been the 29 spline 8.25 instead .
shelbyluvv Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 D35 in the rear of the 98 ??Figured it would have been the 29 spline 8.25 instead . ABS= Dana 35
Ridgerunner Posted February 8, 2010 Author Posted February 8, 2010 yes it has ABS I wish it had the 8.25 but to have a MJ with ABS will be nice for a DD
johnnybebad Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 ahh right, forgot about that. I`ve only ever seen one XJ with ABS and the guy got so fed up with it I swapped the brakelines over to regular brakes
Ridgerunner Posted February 8, 2010 Author Posted February 8, 2010 ahh right, forgot about that. I`ve only ever seen one XJ with ABS and the guy got so fed up with it I swapped the brakelines over to regular brakes Yeah well the ABS light was on when I drove it into Shop last night so we will see how that goes.
