alright, so the '95 cluster isn't worth my time?
Also, looked at it again tonight. Looks like the passenger floor is good, but the driver floor is pretty gone, instead there is a piece of metal roofing under the carpet covering the hole. A friend does a lot of fiberglass work, would it be a decend way to bide the time until he could get floor pans welded in, if he replaced the sheet with fiberglass?
otherwise, rust still looks minor. There is still a plug or sensor or something underneath the intake/throttle body that has the wires broken that go into it, but i guess ill have to get a pic of that to better convey what im trying to say.
So looks like it needs
>Ball joints
>Rear brake line
>floor pan addressed
>probably a muffler/exhaust
Matching set of bigger tires would be nice too, and it could use an oil change and tune-up im sure. Still, for the price i dont think thats too bad.
Or maybe im deluding myself? it has 131,340 miles on the clock

Unfortunately there isnt a build sheet available for this MJ, so there's no way to know what all goodies the thing has hidden away.
Based on what i know about MJs, it has a D35. From what i saw, it looked like one, and iirc only the metric ton package, or whatever, came with the D44.
My neighbor's parts jeep happens to have the Upcountry package with a '35 in the back... Is it realistic to put the LSD rearend into this MJ?

Not bad for the price. Also on transmissions, the 2.5L came with either an AX5 (5spd) with 4.10 gears or an AX4 (4spd) with 3.55 gears.
