You are right, the body is part of the structural integrity of the unibody design, and you lose rigidity when you start to hack it up. Flex the sheet metal too much and you get metal fatigue. I think the builder of this Jeep gained some rigidity after removing the rear cab by adding the two...

I had that model Grand Cherokee but with the Hemi and QDII. Traded it in on a WK2 Hemi. Now the wife drive's a WK2 EcoDiesel.

Sweet find, and good choice on the GDE tune, I have it on my Ram and love it.

Even harder, a few of the oldest 2.5L XJ's have 4.56 axle gearing, the holy grail.

A tire shop will glue a patch on the inside after breaking down the tire. I use the plugs and have never had a problem. Just remove the nail, rough up the hole, insert the plug and twist. Cut off the excess. Easy.

Yep very old thread. The 4banger Cherokee's are good vehicles.

You want your drivetrain as short as possible, so compare the lengths of several options. The shorter the drivetrain, the longer the rear driveshaft for improved ujoint angles with a moderate lift. I believe the Ford v8 might have some short options.

Welcome to the Z. The swap you're suggesting is common, but takes a lot of experience and know-how. Sometimes it's best to buy a donor vehicle with the drivetrain you want. The stock axles will handle moderate driving until you were able to upgrade them. The GM 5.3L and 6.0L are common swaps...

Check with CollinsBros Jeep ? Your '76 to Current Jeep Professionals as they're right there by Ft. Worth. You can always check Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market if you want to buy a low-mileage used engine.

Nice looking Jeep, how many miles are on it? Which part of the Country are you in? It looks awfully rust-free as if it were stored inside or from the southwest. Looks to have tow-bar tabs on the front bumper. If you were close to the Midwest I might make you an offer lol. I'm currently...

You'll have to find a wiring diagram for the '94 Grand Cherokee and wire it to a switch. You'll have to also figure out how to wire the lock-up torque converter. Don't forget the transfer case is clocked higher on the YJ transmission than it is on the Grand Cherokee, so your transfer case...

Sweet. Any mods planned?

Get that bad boy checked out under warranty.

Stay '91+ for the reliability of fuel injection and hassle free performance at elevation. '97-'06 TJ will ride a little better with the coil springs, but can cost a little more to lift properly and are susceptible to death wobble. Interior a little more car-like than the utilitarian YJ...

Howell Fuel Injection kit. Otherwise find a Cherokee donor with the fuel injected 4.0L engine.

Goo B Gone.

Check under the jeep for what part of the shifter linkage is loose. You can shift it manually underneath if necessary. The 4wd light is activated by the front axle disconnect. Follow two black vacuum lines along the passenger frame rail to the front axle and you'll find the axle disconnect...

Year and model Jeep? Any mods?

8.25 was available with the tow package (OEM Receiver and transmission cooler).

Greg, paragraphs my friend, paragraphs. lol.
