"New" MJ Build

[CodeTalker]

So, I'm new to this site, and MJs but not new to Jeeps. I've had several wranglers (3 TJ, 2 JK, and 1 XJ) I've wanted an MJ for a long time and finally came into one. I retired from the Army last year and my wife got this guy for me from a neighbor. It was the former owner's project Jeep, so not much is actually installed.

 

If you could build an MJ from scratch (which I kind of am), keeping as many stock Jeep (don't care what model, just don't want overpowered aftermarket upgrades) parts as possible. To be used as a street queen with minor off-roading (body can't handle it anymore). What would you consider the best to install, from what model Jeeps and why? For instance, I pulled an almost complete radiator / cooling system from a 2001 XJ. Only thing I didn't think to grab as the cross brace on top of the radiator that holds in.

 

I currently have:

4.0 I6

Manual transmission

Transfer Case

Cooling system (with additional electric fan)

Miscellaneous interior / exterior parts.

 

Things I would like:

The stance (mentioned below)

4-wheel disc brakes

Mostly stock looking interior, with bench seat

Most stock looking exterior

Automatic but not required

 

I love the stance it currently has (without the motor though). The front is a Dana30, the rear, I'm not sure but the previous owner said he put it in just to be able to move the Jeep. I'll need a new rear diff. I'm not opposed to that being another brand (Ford 8.8 for instance).

 

 

I'm not the best at writing up builds but I can try, if anyone is interested.

Of course after posting, I saw this post: 

I'd still love everyone's input.

What year is the truck? Does it have any engine wiring?
