onlyinajeep726 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Does anyone have this bracket, seen below, for sale or trade? It mounts using the two driver's side transfer case nuts/studs. When I got my transfer case from the JY, I pulled it from an automatic XJ and grabbed its bracket thinking the two were the same... Clearly I was wrong, oops...If anyone has one for sale, or would be willing to trade me an AX15 one for my AW4 one, please reply to this thread or PM me!

500 MJ Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Can you confirm what part number it is you are looking for? Its hard to read the p/n in the pic you posted...I have two brackets here #8953005457 and #8953005071. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 I just pulled the part number from my AX15 equipped MJ. It's 52077574. The picture I posted above was just one I found on the internet from a TJ for reference. Took about an hour just to find a picture since I haven't a clue as to what it's called.

500 MJ Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Your '86 didn't come with a 4.0 and AX-15 from the factory. What application are you looking at getting this bracket for, the '86 you have listed? What is an AX-15e? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Glad to see you kickin' around here again, Brent! You are correct though that his '86 did come with a 4.0 from the factory. Here... something to catch up on. :typing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 So I pulled up the old parts catalog and found this: We are talking about the #31 bracket in this snip, it looks like you are wanting to get 5300 5457 from what I can tell. This is one of the two brackets that I have... Will you need other parts? I also have #15 5300 5448 and #17 5300 5445... I've also figured out that AX-15e means External Slave... :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I would simplify the 4WD linkage and pick up the boostwerks linkage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkers Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I would simplify the 4WD linkage and pick up the boostwerks linkage. I can't second that enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would simplify the 4WD linkage and pick up the boostwerks linkage. I can't second that enough. I agree, and if it were a rig that I was going to keep and need 4WD often, I'd totally do that. However, the truck I need these for is being restored and sold for profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 If you are "restoring" and going "all original", it makes sense to want to run the POS stock linkage. On the other hand, if you want something that works for a reasonable price then the boostwerks.com linkage makes WAY more sense. I'm sure whomever the future owner may be will appreciate it more than you think. Are you actually restoring it, or fixing it up? Both? I'm not sure what you mean.

Bonkers Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Also, only Concours-Level show cars would benefit from a (mostly) unseen stock replacement part. 95% of buyers want appearance and functionality so things like upgraded brakes, wires, radios, and linkages won't hurt anything in resale or intergrity. These arent Arrows or Packards, Id bet honest money the rarest Mj on the planet right now would not see a cent lost on something like a linkage. The great thing about the boostwerks setup is that it is also 100%-Mod free - you don't like it, you can just go back to stock. And if you do get a seller who questions the change, just send them to this thread - I'll be the 15th person here to say it - A direct linkage (like Boostwerks or similar) is a 100x stronger, more reliable, BETTER than OEM.... That being said, if you want to stick to factory then make sure you get the correct mounting bracket that attaches to the transmission tunnel too... I don't know if the AW4 and Ax15 are compatible, but itll be very frustrating to hit that point and discover theyre not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
