I have a 98 xj and was wondering if the majority of bolts and nuts were metric or standard??

Everything is metric except for the parts they bought off the shelf that used standard, ie a handful of the suspension and engine components

Metric, Standard, Torx, that damn reverse torx 12 pt pos, philips, and a couple of different thread pitches in each. It's awesome.

The engine should be mostly SAE/inch.
The transmission and chassis are ISO/metric.
I don't recall if the transfer case is SAE or ISO - probably a mix.
And, of course, there are Torx (which can actually be threaded SAE or ISO,) and the E12 (external Torx) at the top of the bellhousing (threaded 3/8"-16.)

All the case bolts and hex plugs on the NP242 are metric.

There was a guy on here that is slowly converting all the fasteners on his jeep to metric....or was it standard?
I think he said his tool kit has shrunk alot.....I've thought of doing the same a few times.

Hallo Jeepers. I think the most difficult part of it, is to find out which size of wrench or socket you need for bolts or nuts you can't see.:laugh3:

Metric, Standard, Torx, Reverse Torx, Driven rivet, pop rivet. Heck, has anyone found square drive or scalloped flat head security screws yet? Is there a fastener system that Jeep hasn't used?
