AX-15

[jeepaholic]

Ok i posted a wanted add for the ba10 earlier but after some thought i guess i might go ahead and do the conversion if i can find one..I am going to need AX-15 and np231....Right?? If i go this route what am I to expect to run into in swappin from the ba10 2wd?? If it needs a new tranny I figure I may as well only do it once and convert her over to 4wd. :popcorn:

Just find yourself a 4.0/ax-15 XJ donor or MJ if your truly lucky (I did find an 89 MJ in the yard after I had completed my conversion). Get everything. I thought my dad was crazy because he was grabiing every nut, bolt, clip, bracket, shifter, etc. and get the front driveshaft we learned the hard way that the shaft from the auto trans is longer than the ax-15 version.

 

And take along some friends to help you haul it out of there my little red wagon bent both of it's axle shafts (must have been D3.5's lol) and we could barely lift this stuff into my uncle's f-250 after 4 hours of wrenching the trans and d30 out of the donor. in fact we should have just bought a running driving xj and done this at our leisure but hindsight is 20/20 and my budget meant wrenching it ourselves and $350 goes a long way at the pick-a-part.
