shelbyluvv Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 The production number is the last 6 digits of the VIN. I can't make out that tiny picture you posted of the fender tag to give you anymore insight.

MancheKid86 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 ive had this happen to me as well, doing like 105mph XD i had to learn how to rev match in a hurry
Me&my86MJ Posted November 12, 2015 Author Posted November 12, 2015 Freaking hate Rev matching. Yeah it was no fun, I was in the middle of town around 3pm.

Me&my86MJ Posted July 30, 2017 Author Posted July 30, 2017 Upper and lower long arms installed Looks like I will be needing longer/new front drive shaft, what is everyone else running for front driveshaft?
DesertRat1991 Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Rubicon Express coils installed Upper and lower long arms installed Looks like I will be needing longer/new front drive shaft, what is everyone else running for front driveshaft? What's going on with the engine hoist in the first pic? Are you lifting the vehicle by the swaybar bushing bolts?? Are those your old UCA bushings on the ground in the 2nd pic? How'd you get them out in such good condition? I had to bore the rubber out with a 1/2" drill bit and mangle the outer metal sleeve with an air hammer. They were unrecognizable by the time it was all said and done.
Me&my86MJ Posted July 31, 2017 Author Posted July 31, 2017 Engine hoist is/was lifting truck by sway bolt holes, but not using the sway bar bolts, I used grade 8 hardware with same thread pitch as sway bar bolts. You use what you have and when you are working by yourself you do what you have to, I mainly used it to raise and lower front end to while I had jacks tanks under axle. Yes those are upper control arm bushings located in the axle housing itself. How I got them out, well I sprayed the $#!& out of them with PB Blaster, then knocked them out about an inch by hammer. After that I used my pry bars to pry while I hammered from opposite side, once I felt no more movement, I put pry bar on little lip and hit pry bar with hammer knocking the bushings out. Also I had my leaf spring bushings I removed a previous weekend so the removal process was still fresh in my head.
Crash Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 A ZJ front shaft may work. Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
Me&my86MJ Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 Crash, yeah a ZJ front driveline just might do the trick, stock collapsed lenght for mj looks like 25 1/16 & 25 1/8 and the zj ones are 32 7/8 and 34 1/4. So in collapsed form one could gain 7 to 9 inches in driveline by switching to a ZJ front driveline. Thank you Crash!
Me&my86MJ Posted August 13, 2017 Author Posted August 13, 2017 Got my dirtbound stubby winch bumper painted and installed. Just a few items needed before I can attempt to flex to max and take it wheeling!
Me&my86MJ Posted June 6, 2018 Author Posted June 6, 2018 8 years ago, shortly after I got it, all stock besides some 235/75 Daytona MTs.
Me&my86MJ Posted June 8, 2018 Author Posted June 8, 2018 Google has been creeping on me and my jeep's progress. Caught my jeep at one of my brothers, then at my old house, and then not only did it catch my jeep at while I was at work, it also caught me on break passing it to the left.
Me&my86MJ Posted July 9, 2018 Author Posted July 9, 2018 Upgraded battery cables, got a hand from my special little helper, got 13k winch with synthetic line installed, used some allthread to drop parking brake bracket an inch, and reused old jeep bracket to drop rear brake line.
