Sweet Score!! now what?

[echdaviem]

So I was out the JY today looking for random stuff and I came across a WJ with a lift kit on it. Looks like some Rubicon Arms, OME shocks, JKS SB disconnects all for really cheap! so I'm really not sure what fits on my MJ but I can cut metal and weld pretty good so i figured it was a good deal no matter what. Has anyone ever used anything from a WJ? You guys think all this stuff will work on the MJ?

I had JKS disconnects that I took of a ZJ on my 4x4 Comanche, I didn't have to modify them. The rest of it, :dunno: ,

Nice score!

Control arms are adjustable so they should work on the front. What happened to the other pair of control arms? Did you find that at LKQ in Durham?

[echdaviem]

I got these at Nines auto salvage in Wake Forest. The other pair of arms are still on the WJ. They were kind of skinny and i didn't know what I would do with them so I just left them there. In hind sight I should have grabbed them, you never know what I could have used them for.

[foreman1063]

You could probably get the other arms, clean everything up and sell the complete lift kit to a GC owner. Then use that money to buy what you need. RE lift kits don't come cheap.

 

BTW, did they have any Comanche's over at Nines?

IIRC, all the front suspension stuff should bolt on to an MJ.

Sure it was a WJ?

 

Reason asked is because those arms are RE arms, but RE has never made anything for the WJ over the 2" budget boost (no coil and/or arm lifts). So with that being said those arms have to be the TJ/XJ/MJ/ZJ arms. Thus meaning they will bolt up as they are RE3715 (lowers) and RE3780 (uppers). WJ arms are typically different than the TJ/ZJ/XJ/MJ arms are so I'm curious as to how they fit them in (WJ control arm brackets are wider and there is a large gap when using the smaller bushing TJ/ZJ/XJ/MJ arms).

 

WJ trackbars will not work on the XJ/MJ.

 

Get the part #'s off the OME shocks and I can tell you for what lift they are for. They "should" bolt up depending on lift height.

 

WJ coils will not work on the XJ/MJ.

[Sir Sam]

IMo your best bet is to sell that WJ stuff and use the funds to buy other stuff. It will be worth more as a kit to someone.

[echdaviem]

yeah the arms had washers filling the gap at the brackets so I don't think they were made for a WJ. I was thinking about selling them but what I'm going to do is install the arms and do a lift and with the rear arms build myself a set of long arms which is what I originally wanted to do.
