ValpoManche Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hello everyone. Brand new manche owner and new to the forum. Picked up an 87 short bed 2x4 with the dreaded BA-10 5 speed on the Renix 4.0. I will be swapping it to a Ax-15 and making it 4x4. Been doing a lot or reading about spline counts, driveshaft length, etc.... I’m even considering upgrading to 4.0HO. From those who have done the swap, including an xj conversion, and I’m in no rush, what year and from what jeep should I look to pick up an ax-15? I know I need new t-case and drive shafts from a 4x4. Cherokee’s with 5 speeds are rare around me so I don’t think I’ll get lucky and find a 97+ Cherokee 5 speed.

Pete M Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 nice score! looks like a solid platform to build. the link in my sig has several swap threads that will help out choosing years and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValpoManche Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thank you Pete. Floor pans need some attention but that’s a given for these and xj’s. Otherwise, body, frame and undercarriage is cleaner than my XJ. Also I can’t see your signature for the links. Can you post it in a reply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
