Using a '90 xj for 4wd conv on '87?


Recommended Posts

I probably have a spare rear shaft or two down here that'll work for you if you need one.....gimme a holler if so.

 

You'll need the tranny crossmember as it is AX15-specific, and you'll need to use the TC linkage parts from the donor as well. You can keep your flywheel (it's still Renix up to '91) and clutch assembly too, although it's not a bad idea to replace the clutch while you have it all apart (and the flywheel if needed).

bleh ... dealing with some people = herding cats

 

XJ is a 1990, Renix, Aw4, NP242. Basically a perfect donor for what I want to do to the MJ. However the vehicle on the whole has issues. It over heats, leaks ATF from coolant lines of trans, AC is broke, interior is busted, rust of doors, and its got very bad death wobble (reason for him selling, been parked since November). And at one time the jeep must have had some really bad oil leaks. Those were fixed by 'some guys' that evidently smoked a lot and left they're butts inside the jeep.

 

But...

 

I went on time, 1100, to look at it. Offered low amount, settled at fair amount $525, but he had to get the wife's approval. Suppose to hear back by 1 lateast 2. 1:45 I hear back with the word that the price is good, but he left for Richmond and won't be back until 4. Meanwhile had a friend in route as tow rig to be doing the deal at 2. Head to Hooters eat, drink, oogle. 4:00 he calls and says now he might be back 5:30ish or could be later. Meh. Also unavaible tomorrow. Meh Meh.

 

Ball is in his court, I can't play games well. I honestly feel like I might just blow it off and spend the money on a home project or OBA on the TJ. I don't really need to do a 4wd/Auto swap on the truck.

I don't, but just another thing not mentioned that IMO should knock off a bit of $ on the sale price. As ultimately it will effect how much I can part out to recoop my money.
