Ok, first off. I'm back! Just picked up a Cherokee after being without one for almost 3 years:cheers:
But it's ugly. It's a 95. The floors are gone, the interior's ratty and I just got some custom body work done for free by a couple trees on a tight trail. It does run great and has about 110000 miles on it.
I just found a much nicer one on CL with a blown motor for $800. It's a 98 with a small lift, decent 31 BFG's and kinda cool bumpers front and back. But best of all it's clean with practically zero rust. I'm thinking about swapping the motor and trans from my beater (4.0, ax15, np231) into the 98(4.0, aw4, np231)
Is it worth it? Is it possible? I searched on here and found a couple guys ran into some trouble with computers and reverse lights when swapping in a manual. Has anyone done this swap and did you have any problems? I read about a write up from Char-Broil for the trans swap but I can't seem to find it.
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance
