Fernando87mj Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 86-90 Mjs are cable driven and 91-92 are electronic , if the gauge cluster is a blue plastic like in the picture above , then that's a cable driven renix era cluster , whote plastic will be a high output era cluster 91-96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siopposition Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Would you look at that....it does have a connection in the back of the cluster....huh....completely missed that when I yanked it....must not have been clipped in very well since it didn't give me ANY fight. Where does it mount to down below? Trans? The upper part of the dash just bolts into the fire wall and kick panel frames correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megadan Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 On the 4x4's the other end of the cable is hooked up to the drive gear on the transfer case. It's on the top drivers side at the rear of the case, fairly easy to spot from underneath when you look at it from the back of the transfer case.

Siopposition Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Well the dash is out....wasn't as bad as I thought, just time.consuming removing all the components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siopposition Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 AND!!!!...... The floors are in phenomenal shape!!! Thank you California!! One 3" round spot with barely any surface rust, other than that they look brand new...dirty like the rest of the truck, but new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siopposition Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hey guys. So.finally getting back to a place where i can start tearing into this thing again. Will you guys be so.kind as to put up links to the following. I did some searching but didn't find really.what I was looking for. The following write ups: Complete 97+ interior swaps.( does this take rewiring of the whole truck to make the speedo and such work with the new guages?) Are the 97+ still a cable or are the electronic? Front end swaps w/wiring. Sorry for.beating the regular dead horse topics, just want to try and get everything in one place to be able to reference.

relyt120 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 for 97+ dash you are going to have to make firewall modifications and swap basically everything over from the XJ, including the complete wiring harnesses and modify fuel tank and basically the whole motor/trans and the steering column..the list goes on. You can swap the fenders and header panel and bumper pretty easily but for the dash etc its a whole ordeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siopposition Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Oh boy where to start.....this has been inactive for a longgggg time. But it hasn't been just sitting. I've slowly been working on it. It's had a few changes in plans. Snagged a complete 88 bucket interior out of an mj in an Ontario JY, Pulled the bed, built lots of wiring harness. Went from the plans of doing a rebuild to building a Russ P 4.6l stroker. Bds long arm kit 6.5" is now my lift vs short arms with drop brackets, Went from 4.10 gears and limited slip to doing an 8.8 rear with 4.56s and an arb, trussed and a traction bar. Front super 30, trussed and gusseted, springs pads moved forward about an inch. 4.56 gears, ox locker with air actuator. 31 spline chromoly shafts with toys by Troy high steer knuckle and black magic brakes! Redid the interior carpet and added heatshielding, moved batteries to inside the cab with a battery isolator and seperate fuse blocks for running accessories and auxiliary accessories while not running. Built the bracket and the whole wiring harness with weather pack connectors and loom. Still putting everything back together and trying to get things hooked up. Need to get the rear axle finished so that it can get moving on its own power. Here is some pictures, comments, questions, advice, constructive criticism all welcome.
