egghead Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hey guys it's been a while since I last posted.. maybe 7 or 8 years. HAH!! I had an 87' MJ when I was 18 or 19 and I loved it! I decided it's time to get another. I'm picking up a 90' short bed Pioneer 2wd. It already has a 3" lift up front and 32x11.5 wildcountries. It's the Renix (obviously) 4.0 5 speed. Has 3.07 gears and comes with a high pinion 30 (3.07) and a 92' 4 litre with 140,000 miles on it. I know of two cherokees I can get ahold of that are 4x4. The first one is a 97' with a good drive train, it has been wrecked so it is lacking the front clip. 400$ The next is an 01' with a blown engine but good body, Trans axles and tcase. Wheels tires and lift. 500$ My goal is to put the 97+ front clip and doors on and swap to four wheel drive. I have a buddy who wants the 4.0 and wants to swap a HP dana 30 and an 8.25 27 spline both with 4.10s for it. I'm really wanting to go 8.8 though. Which cherokee should I drag home for parts and would you swap a 4 litre with 140,000 miles for the axles? Egghead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The '01 has a low pinion front axle. Since you need the front axle for a 4WD conversion, get the '97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 He already has a HP d30 and an HO 4.0 with the truck, if you want the front clip and don't need the engine I'd go with the 01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
