As far as the bracket goes maybe the JY?

Also, that idler pulley bolt torque spec is 20 ft lbs. per the FSM.

Thanks yall, rockauto it is.

Here's a good writeup from V1GiLaNtE that talks about how to find all the closeout deals for whatever truck ya have...

How to find all XJ parts on clearance at Rock Auto
I've know about this for quite some time as I learned it from the motorsports club when I was in college. I figured I would share this with Jeep Forum because I know how cheap you guys really are at heart...


Go Here: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/catalog.php

Search through the catalog till you find your specific car model. Stop after you select the engine.

Your address bar should read something like "http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1333381" The numbers at the end are your car's code #.

Use this link, but replace the Xs after "carcode=" with your car's code. http://www.rockauto.com/RSS/vehiclef...l=en&html=true


Viola. If you need normal replacement parts you can save a buttload of money.

So for example, I have a 1998 Cherokee and the link would be:

Enjoy JF!
