So I have decided that after years of wanting a Comanche now is the time. I have managed to find a 1990 MJ Pioneer 2wd 4.0 AW4 with 100kmi that is rust free (amazing find for a northern ohio dweller). I will be driving to load it on the trailer in the morning.
I have been driving my 1995 XJ sport for the better part of the last 10 years now.
It is finally time for it to be retired, I've replaced the floors once already and lost the battle with the rusty rockers. Runs like new though even with 218kmi and more daily.
I would like to convert the MJ to be 4wd using the parts from the XJ. After doing some light research I should be able to use the trans, transfer, front axle/suspension, and front shaft from the XJ, correct?
Also I would like to eventually swap the full gauge cluster from the XJ and replace the idiot lights in the MJ. And convert the bench seat to buckets from the XJ along with the center console and overhead console. Can I use these parts from the XJ?
Lastly, for now at least, the MJ has the auto gear shift on the column, the XJ trans shift is of course on the transmission tunnel, when (and only if I can use the XJ trans) I swap the trans can I delete the column shift and use the floor shift from the XJ?
Basically I would like to cannibalize the XJ of everything I can to make the MJ alittle nicer and slightly more comfortable. Such as power locks/windows, seats, consoles, and anything else I may be able too. So any help as to what is transferable from the XJ to the MJ would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for any answers and hopefully direction to threads that may deal with these subjects. Pics of MJ to be added once I have it home tomorrow.
