    97+ fuel tank & pump/sending unit in a 96?

    I think I’m going to try to retrofit the 97+ XJ pump into the MJ tank like I’ve seen a lot do, just figured asking if anyone had “upgraded” to a late model tank would be more direct

    97+ fuel tank & pump/sending unit in a 96?

    Not entirely an XJ, but I'm not having much luck on the MJ side. Has anyone tried running a 97+ tank and pump in a 96? Theoretically it should work as the 96 and 97 are pretty close mechanically and emissions. I have (most of) a 1989 2WD MJ which me and my step son are going to build as his...

    Project: "Pretty Woman"

    Not sure what happened to my pictures, but here they are again. Now that I've had plenty of time to figure out what to do with this thing, I figured I would do a quick update here. I've decided to get out of Jeeps myself and get back into what I grew up with and what most of my education...

    1996 2 door XJ Prerunner/Jeepspeed project Noblesville/Richmond IN

    MAKE AN OFFER!! Will entertain reasonable offers! Can also meet near Richmond IN for potential buyers I got a new car in December and the Jeep has sat for the last 3 months, only getting driven around the block to move it out of my way. Priorities have changed, and I've decided to get rid of...

    The Smelly Old Man

    Hesco water pump and thermostat housing, ZJ alternator/AC bracket, and Bosch 703 injectors done. No clearancing needed for the 136 amp alternator, and PLENTY of belt contact on the alternator pulley. Before and after I ended up rerouting the belt the way the early TJ/late ZJ 4.0 is...

    Options for tranny cooler replacement lines?

    Screw Dorman and their crappy quick connect and rubber line, Dorman lines and $28 dollars at Earls Performance Plumbing later and I got this:

    Options for tranny cooler replacement lines?

    I'm lucky enough that Earls Performance Plumbing is only about a half an hour drive from me, they've made a few parts for me in the past, including a new clutch line for my 89 MJ. If the hard lines/soft lines need to stay where they are, so be it. The best thing to do then would be take both...

    Options for tranny cooler replacement lines?

    So I had to replace the upper trans cooler line when I replaced the water pump this weekend, it kinked when I tried to remove it from the radiator, replaced with new Dorman lines. On the way to work yesterday(about half way/45 min from work/home), the quick connect right by the harmonic balancer...

    Nates 4x4 - buyers beware

    Companies like Nates, Rusty's, Iceland Off-road, etc, I've never delt with, but I've heard enough complaints that I won't bother using them, even if it's been a while since I've seen a complaint. Unless there has been a change in management, bad costumer service is bad customer service, and they...

    Stinky FAB VS. Rusty's Steering/WJ Conversion

    Taken from JKS web page: "FAB Steering Knuckle Flange Spacer; Front; Machined spacer repositions hub assembly for WJ knuckle conversion; Fits between bearing/hub assembly and outer steering knuckle; Heavy gauge steel; Black Finish; Weld-on" I was wondering the same thing when I got them, were...

    Stinky FAB VS. Rusty's Steering/WJ Conversion

    As you can see, most of my parts are already bought, but I'll be revisiting this mod in a couple years when I get around to my autocross MJ project. After getting the JKS spacers and then having to grind off a bunch of powder coat, I wish I would have went with a different spacer, I definitely...

    Stinky FAB VS. Rusty's Steering/WJ Conversion

    As I'm going through buying all of my parts to do this sea right now, I thought long and hard about the Stinky Fab kit, a big reason for that was he's using quality manufactures for the parts in the kit, not something you see with the Rusty's kit. Biggest reasons I didn't go with the Stinky Fab...

    The Smelly Old Man

    I suppose you could, wouldn't be able to have much thread hanging out, arranged like this give you max clearance. If you wanted better access to the bolt, you could always adjust the mounting location of the "bracket" on the inner C. This is my buddy's 04 TJ with JK axles Ultimately I'll use...

    The Smelly Old Man

    Ok, so I bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on parts to swap WJ brakes on the XJ. Goal is to have all the parts together to do the swap the same time I finally install my long arms, this fall while I'm driving the MJ back and forth to work. Get it done before the weather gets too crappy...

    Project: "Pretty Woman"

    Because a few people have treat her like a dirty hooker, but she cleans up well. The guys I bought this off of were nimrods, I'm sure this truck was in rough shape when they bought it, but they definitely trashed this truck. It has apparently sat for close to 15 years(plates expired in...

    The Stray

The Proportioning valve: 260-11179 and mounting bracket: 220-13189, the bracket comes with brake...
