I've got an NP231 from an XJ that had the vacuum disconnect on the D30 front. I'm swapping the axle and 231 into my MJ but will be deleting the vacuum disco. There's a connector on the driver's side of the TC that looks like it's vacuum lines. What was this for? Is there going to be a...

I was hoping someone could help me out. I'm swapping an HO engine and harness into my '88 MJ and I'm having problems remembering the location of some stuff in the engine bay. I took pictures but apparently they weren't detailed enough and I'm having a hell of a time getting things back...

I'm starting to mount everything back into the engine bay of my '88 MJ (non-HO -> HO engine and wiring swap) and was wondering if I need to keep the charcoal canister (or whatever it's called). I'd like to simplify all the hoses running through the engine bay but don't know how this is going to...

Does the intermediate steering shaft (the one that goes between the steering column at the firewall and the PS box) telescope? It looks like it but I'm not sure. Problem: I have a column from a '91 XJ that I set in my '88 MJ last night. I have the yoke at the box seated all the way down and the...

Anyone who has swapped a Waggy 44 front or HPD44 cut down to use '80-'92 Waggy shafts: Will you measure the visible length of axle tube on both the passenger and driver side (distance between inner C and housing edge) and post up or PM me the numbers? I have a kingpin HPD44 housing (housing...

What size size sockets are needed for the pinion nut and the nut on the end of the outer axleshaft? I have to gut my housing but don't have the right size sockets for my impact. Thanks. Brent

Can anyone tell me the thread callout on the trackbar nut/bolt that goes on the axle side for the front of my 91 XJ? I lost the old nut-on-a-plate in the middle of my swap and just need a hardware store nut for holding purposes. Thanks.

I'm in the process of swapping the chassis wiring harness from a 91XJ into an 88 MJ and have a question about the HVAC unit. Will the unit from my 88 MJ plug right into the harness from the 91? Or will I have to swap the entire underdash unit over to the MJ? I'm trying to minimize the amount...

I saw in a couple of the other threads that Richard and Jeff were toying with the ideas of putting D60 outers on their D44s. I'll go out on a limb and assume that you would switch to 35-spline axles, too. I was considering doing the same thing but had a couple of questions for you or anyone...

I might have found a Dana 44 front. It's just the housing so I'm not sure what the vehicle is. The BOM number is 603289-1 (I think). I know that it's a pre-'79 so I can't use the Dana site. Anyone know of any other resources to check?

Does anyone know the cost for having a set of aluminum rims custom made? I drew up a design for a beadlock rim that I like and was curious about having a set made for a little bling on my trail rig.

I'm going to be swapping rear discs onto a D44 that I'm putting under my MJ. I've got a spare D44A from a WJ laying around with all of the brake hardware and was thinking about making up custom brackets (and redrilling the rotors to 5 x 4.5) to mount the calipers and throwing the bigger rotors...

I've picked up yet another MJ so that I can Frankenstein my freebie together. I've gotta try to get rid of some of this stuff so the wife gets off my back! Make offer on what you want. I am keeping a few parts but below is most of what I have. I'm parting out an '87 MJ (originally with 2.5...

Has anyone had any experience mounting their radiators in a non-stock location? Rather than pay at least $600 for a Be Cool alum rad, I am seriously considering bed-mounting a large radiator in my MJ. I will be swapping in a built 383 SBC and I know that my GDI 3-core ain't going to do the...

I'll be looking to get my MJ out of storage from my parent's house and I'm planning on flat towing it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good towbar setup? Thanks. Brent

I've got some major electrical problems with my '87 MJ and I'm looking to replace the chassis wiring. Has anyone done this? What are my options as far as harnesses? I was thinking either pulling one from the boneyard or adapting one from Painless or Centech. Is there any other place that...

I've checked out some of the write-ups on the WJ front brake swap and I'm pretty interested. Has anyone attempted swapping the WJ rears, as well. That would be a pretty sweet braking package, overall. Brent

This kind of goes along with my drivetrain post. Has anyone swapped an AX-15 (or NV3550) behind a 4.3 L (or SBC, same bolt pattern) with stock parts from a junkyard? Advance Adapters has bellhousings for the conversion but they're around $400 a pop, plus the cost of a clutch, slave cylinder...

Hey, all. I'm looking for some opinions on what I should do for a driveline in my '87 MJ. I currently have a swapped-in 4.3L Chevy with a 700-R4. I've narrowed the choices down to the following: 1) Keep the 4.3 and swap in an AX-15 or NV3550 manual (I miss shifting for myself) and an NP231...

Does anyone know if any available fuel cells are DOT legal? I've already swapped a Chevy 4.3 into my MJ and I'm contemplating putting a fuel cell in the bed and plumbing everything from there. I was looking at some of the ones available in Summit and ones from Fuel Safe. Thanks. Brent
