I'm wondering what's involved in converting a 1986 XJ with power steering over to manual steering. What parts are needed, where is the best place to find them, and how difficult is it to do? Sorry if it's a noob question. I did some searching and couldn't quite find an answer simple enough...

I've searched the forum but haven't quite found an answer to my question. I'm installing a 700R4 tranny into my '86 XJ to replace the AX5. Eventually, I'd like to put on a 242 or 231 t-case, or D300, or something nice...but for now I just want to maintain my 4WD in any form as I need to...

I'm doing a VW diesel swap into my '86 Cherokee. I'm using the Acme adapter, which basically turns it into a 22R-style engine. I have an R151F which will now bolt right up to the VW. My question is, what t-case should I be using to finish up this drivetrain? What is bolt-up compatible...

re: VW 1.9TD Swap Putting a 1.9TD (AAZ) into my '86 XJ. Using the Acme Adapter with the Toyota option. It seems the most basic thing to do would be to use a G52 bellhousing and input shaft and swap them onto my AX5. However, I was thinking about an upgrade since my AX5 needs help. I know I...

Hey all, I have a 1986 XJ with the 2.1L Renault. I no longer want to deal with the Renault. Did some searching and the 4D56-T sounds like a good option. I read that the Mitsu transmission will work with the NP231 t-case. Mine has the 207, I think, but you can find 231s for cheap. Any...

I have an 1986 Cherokee diesel (2.1L Renault) and I need to replace the fuel return line/harness. Any thoughts on where I might find one? This is the hydraulic mesh tubing that goes through the injectors and back to the pump. Thanks.

Hi all, As part of an engine purchase to replace the blown engine on my '86 Cherokee diesel, I have the option of walking away with any parts that I'd like from the '86 Cherokee that the replacement engine came from. I'm trying to put together a list of the most valuable and most relevant...

Hi all, I am going to attack this from a different direction. I have an '86 Cherokee Diesel (2.1L Reanult 4cyl.). These engines are pretty ridiculous. They act like handgrenades. They do okay around town at low speeds, but stay at highway speeds for more than half an hour or so and kaboom. I...
