I'm sorry guys. I searched the forum for 10 minutes. Right after I posted this I read the post from yesterday asking the same thing!

So I blew a piston rod thru cylinder wall in my 2000. I'm going to be doing a junk yard engine swap. My question is. My 2000 has coils, obviously. And they also have the infamous 0331 head. So, can I put an older 4.0 (like 97+) that has distributor and just use all my same coils/electronics/etc...

Oh, I forgot to mention, he also had the 8.25.

I just installed the iro hnt in a buddies jeep yesterday, he used a stock front shaft. He has ~7.5" of lift in his jeep, and the stock driveshaft was plenty long enough. Depending on how you drive your rig, and the type of wheeling you do, the hack n tap seems pretty durable. And I've never...

Ohhh, I understand. Didn't realize that was possible. But after looking at it, it does look like it can be done. Thanks for the ideas!!

Its a badlands winch. What do you mean clock the body sideways? I'm confused...

Frijolee, when you say mounting more aggressive, and more cutting, do you mean cutting up the grille/fenders to get it to sit up higher? Techno, it measures a tad over 7" in the front, I do dislike it being that big in front, but I wanted my winch completely out of the way. And I also thought...

All these views and no comments? Looking for feedback here!!

Hah. No. If it was mine it wouldn't sit so low...

I understand you don't want to cut your fenders, but in my opinion, if you do cut them flush with the grille and whatnot, like the newer style xj, and put a bumper that wraps around, it would look real nice. Plus that sort of fender cutting is simple. Just my 2 cents.

I never thought of it like that. Good point that it could save uniframe. Mine is a dd right now, if only had this jeep about a month or so. Got it bone stock. Having had a chance to wheel with it yet, still need some vital components to get it right, but its a weekend warrior. And thanks. I...

Its really not that heavy, maybe 110lbs. Or so. Like I said tho, its mostly only 1/8" steel tho. I noticed no sagging, and no issues driving on the road either. I have 4.5" RCX springs, with I think 180 spring rate, which is kind of stiff anyway.

Damn, sorry, having a hard time doing all this on my phone, I'm getting there tho!!

The PDF of the brackets wworked perfect for me too, I'm not even sure who created it, but I owe them a big old' thanks!! Saved a bunch of time.
