No huge updates but all the wiring is back in. Heater core with the evaporator is installed. That was a treat to get that in.. Finished the floors. Decided that I'm going to put 2x6 steel in for the rockers to fix the rust and have sliders. Hopefully going to get the interior tied up next week and and get the motor in and axles swapped. Doesn't feel like it but it is coming together

Did a little wiring tonight. Finished one part of the HO dash to renix rear harness but then ran out of butane.. I currently lack the motivation to go down stairs to get more so I'm done for tonight

Also I decided today I'm going with 35" tires instead of 33's. The Mj was a 2wd 2.5 so it has 4.56's which will work for the 35's. So if anyone has a 4.56 gear set for a d30 pm me.

Finally got a some time to work on it. Front end is mostly back together with the d30 in it now. Have to do some more wiring to adapt the column shifter column so the ho harness.

Pulled the exhaust manifold.. my old one was hardly attached lol guess that was my exhaust leak lol I'm going to transfer fuel lines and stuff while the engines out. My tcase is pissing fluid out the output seal so I may as well fix that too. Need to get an o2 sensor as well.

Ordered a xj service manual so hopefully that does the trick

Gettem on! Get it Goin!

I'm working on it! Full-time student and worker so its hard to find time.

I'm eager to see how that boostwerks linkage works out for you...I want to grab the set for my ax15 swap,...

Great progress! Keep it up!

After I saw it I did a lot of reading because I didn't want it too suck, but it looks to have good reviews! I guess we'll see

so when I installed the heater core with AC I put an updated mopar gasket set on it due to the frequent leaking these vehicles have through that area. I even added some silicone. well, its been raining the past two days and I went out to check... passenger floor has over an inch standing water... FML. Guess the core is coming back out

Yup! Sits a tad higher in the rear but with sag it'll settle out and RE 4.5 springs in the front. Honestly I haven't even looked.. there's a huge auto event in 2 weeks so I'm just trying to get it there. First wheeling trip is end of Jones so as long as I have it set up by then ill b fine. Getting a front locker for it too
