Ive been kicking around the idea of building a Cherokee Rubicon for several years. The only real stopper was the price for the parts. Well as luck would have it a friends wife roller her 2005 Rubicon a little over a week ago. Its an automatic with only 12K on it. The body is completely trashed but it runs and drives fine. His insurance company is letting him keep it for $950. I will be picking it up from him this week.
So here goes my questions. I am starting with a 1998 4.0 auto 4x2 2door XJ Sport. I need to know if the auto trans/Rubicon transfer case combo will bolt up to my 98 engine? Will my computer work with the newer trans? I know i will have to remove the control arm brackets and weld on spring perches to the rear axel. Will the front axel bolt right into the XJ? I plan on using the whole set up for the lockers so all the locker wiring from the Rubicon will be used.
Any info or suggestions would be helpful!
Thanks!
