my 1987 mj


Recommended Posts

Just found this site. Its great to find people that are just as crazy as i am about jeeps. My mj was a 1987 stripper 2x4 4.0 ba10 5 speed road construction truck. its now lifted 7 inches with a very early tnt customs long arms kit, 7 inch rubicon front coils, spring over rear with blocks, dana 30 front, ford 8.8 rear, 4.56 gears, 231 xfer, proto fab front winch bumper, ramsey winch, hidden hitch recever under the fay rear bumper, bush wacker cut out flairs, 37 inch ssr's on alloy rims, tuffy console, xj buckets, and many changes done with mostly xj parts. as soon as i can figuer how to upload pick i will.

thanks figured it out hope i did it right. this is one of 15 jeeps we own but one of my favs. far from done still working out bugs. am running warn lock out hubs and found out they just don't hold up to 37s. am trying to do reserch on using grand cherokee spindles breaks and roters with the larger warn 5 on 5.5 hub setup. these are some older pics they don't show the hitch or the new er front non disconect dana 30 front with ox locker.

well the tires arn't cramped they fit fine. they mesure out at 36 inches even though they are advertized as 37 inches. the warn 5 on 4.5 hubs are only rated at 33 inches max that is the problem with the hubs. they were on the axle when i got it and liked the 30 spline shafts and ox locker so wasnt going to toss them till i found a better solution. once i finish my reserch on the grand cherokee knuckles and brakes i may upgrading to them with warn 5 on 5.5 hubs they have the same bearings as the full size dana 44s. or I will do a hybrid 30/44 as i already have all the parts to do that now. but i like the bigger brakes with the grand cherokee parts. and yes the emblem is a 4.0 liter.
