I went with cutting off the whole stud, ground down the bracket, and drilled a hole for a new stud similar to what was shown in post #2. I will not do that again. Like jeep ride said, clean it up and ****/tap a hole for a bolt.

I bought a Spartan lunchbox and installed it today. Had a small SNAFU with not getting one of the C clips in all the way, but it finally worked itself right. Did it the old fashion way outside in the wind and the cold. We had a high of 20* today. Took breaks often, so I survived. It seemed...

One less thing to do later... Thanks.

Would I be inducing issues to my suspension if I went ahead and swapped out the front axle?

I miss the '91 already with all the weather we are getting. I did use the 4WD often this time of year out here on the Missouri River bottom. Someday I'll eventually convert this one to 4X4; it's growing on me. ��

Change of plan. I think I will be going the easy route and add an auto locker to the axle and slap on some AT tires to make the best of it. I know the differential is a corporate 8.25, and assume that there are 29 spline shafts. Taxes are done, so I've been looking at a Spartan Lunchbox and a...

Tim_MN you are the MAN! I can't thank you enough for the link. I'll let you know how it turns out.

This is obviously a much larger project that I have ever tried to accomplish. I have no problem troubleshooting and changing parts; I worked on planes for 25 years. I have read a few threads now about the 2WD to 4WD conversion and its complexities, and thank you for pointing me to another I do...

I just did a equipment list search by VIN. Listed for the transmission is AW4, and for the rear differential is corporate 8.25. Does this mean that I can simply add my transfer case and front differential from my donor and be done with it? Please see the information below... Equipment...

My beloved 1991 XJ with 380,000+ original miles has become a donor due to a recent roll-over. I understand that most of the work will be a direct swap into my 1998 XJ Sport 2 Door, 2WD. I plan on using the front and rear differentials, transfer case, and both drive shafts from the '91. I am...

My 1996 has the OBDII connector, but it is not functional. The key-dance is how you retrieve the codes.

Roger that. I have sun visors on my mind because my wife is constantly complaining that she is always in the sun...

A monorail system would not be hard to fabricate. Google CRJ cockpit photos. It's a very versatile system.

Since we are talking CPS; are all the sensors the same for all years, but just have a different connector?
