jimoshel Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Been doing a little upgrade on my '87 2.5, 4 spd. Converted manual steering to power, swapped bench for buckets, changed instrument cluster to full panel. Tach works great. Didn't have to adjust anything. Picked up a D30 and D35 with lockers 4.56 for the outrageous sum of $50. He wanted them out of his garage. Tomorrow I'm swapping the broken foot brake for a hand brake from a XJ. Checked search and couldn't find anything. Surely somebody has done this already. Just wondering if there would be enough interest in this for me to do a write up with pics. :wrench:
dasbulliwagen Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 It has been done, but I can't remember who did it. I want to say it was Mvusse or jeepcomj, but I can't say for sure. Might try going through their builds if they don't chime in.
Backdraft Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Jim, you can find it in shelbyluvv's build "project onyx". Edit: here's the link..... viewtopic.php?f=7&t=11834&start=45
jimoshel Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Tnx guys. Hate re-inventing the wheel, altho I've always felt that if they were square instead of round you'd get better traction.

ParadiseMJ Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Nice. My MJ foot brake is also toast...it worked fine when I got the truck and I loved having it down there instead of taking up space in the console. But alas the ratchet part failed on me and it looks like a lot more work fixing the foot pedal than popping in a lever (since I'm re-doing the carpet anyway.
