I don't think a Rubi 44 will mount "right up". IIRC they have different control arm mount positions, different sized spring buckets, and the steering mounts are different on the knuckles too I think. Pretty sure you'll have to completely strip it, and then reweld the the ZJ Brackets on...

My suggestion... Sleeve your 30... http://www.offroadevolution.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=EVO-44MAG Then Truss it... http://tntcustoms.com/dana30nondisconnect.aspx Then add a Super 30 Kit to the mix...

Also for consideration SJ (Grand Wagoneer, Wagoneer, Cherokees (original not XJ), and J trucks) axles were 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern, so you would also have to have the hubs redrilled (if possible). SJ axles were either Narrow Track (NT) or (WT) Wide Track. NT's are either (+73) 57.5" (2.5"...

A 44 swap may be a good idea depending on what size tire you are going to run (or truss and sleeve the 30). You'll still have auto hubs on the 44 too. As for the spool or lincoln locker idea. I really don't recommend it. your fine on the street if you have unlocked hubs. But on the trail...

Pics of MJ. Now please. Love em.

Wow, everytime I've been to Badlands in Attica, that section is dusty we actually put the tops up and zip in the windows. Never seen it wet before.

What did you have in mind for the front locker? Hubs... Here's one... http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=3800X&Category_Code=AXL Keep in mind that YJ, TJ, XJ, and ZJ dana 30's are all identical (with the exceptions of mounts, LP, HP, etc.) But nearly any...

I almost bought one that color years ago when I was upgrading from my YJ, but it was a 4 cyl Auto... Went with this 2000 Sport instead. Sold it when the boys outgrew the back seat, still miss it once in while.

Nice Looking TJ. Love the color.

Yep, winches can kill batteries if they aren't up to the task.

Optima's are a top of the line battery. Though going through that many batteries makes me wonder if there isn't a problem that you just haven't found yet.

Great, glad he's having a Good time.

Chris, CRD Tony is in the states now, he was planning on going on this run. Did he make it? Shaggy you need to hook up with someone and ride shotgun!

Think that any type of project purchase will depend on your particular skills and strengths. Myself I hate body work. As long as the body was in good condition I can handle the mechanical and electrical systems. Some might want a good running drivetrain, and be able to completely refinish the...

Welcome!

Sorry for the delay... Life has happened in the past 24 hours. Wifes truck is misbehaving, middle child put a ball through the front window, etc... So it to break it down, it looks like you have 4 problems... 1. power windows aren't working 2. power window lock isn't working 3. lift gate won't...

Not a Fan. IMO the entire NE from what I've personally seen (Erie, Philly, NYC) is very, what you call clanish, if your not from the neighborhood, your an outsider. An idividual person here is very freindly, but the people as a group are RUDE. (not to trying to offend anyone, just my opinion)...

:lol: Reread what I typed last night... :oops: What I meant was that just cause something can do the Rubicon doesn't mean it's a Jeep. Got two thoughts mixed together when I typed. FWIW, I think the KK's are even more capable than the KJ's. Looks, eh not so much.

1998 was the last year ZJ's. It's getting to late tonight for me hear, but I'll try and help with your issues tomorrow.

IMO, and I could be proven wrong after these are on the trails. But the OEM IFS with their Range Rover style airbags may work well on the trails with the stock setup. But with stock your limited to certain tire sizes. What happens when you decide you want to run 31's or higher? IFS is...
