I still not sure if I'm doing this right "ask question thread" and it seems I'm posting a reply,To whom it may concern or etc..my question is can you put a 86 231 in a 96 sport and simply install the electric speedo in place of the cable drive? I realize the ratio may be different.I'm trying to avoid swapping tail housings

How on earth do I get at the lower bolts on the exhaust/intake manifolds? I got them off but I'm having a heck of a time trying to get them back on, especially the back two. Then once I get them on, I have to have enough room to apply a torque wrench. There's got to be a trick to it...

Have fun.
Well I really can't figure out how to post something so I'm doing it this way.
I have a 96 cherokee country. I am installing a budget lift for now but wanting to know if I should get axle shims so I don't get a vibration and if I should install an adjustable track bar so I don't get the death wobble. I drive this truck daily so I want it to still be able to go down the road without all the hassles I have read about. What do I do?

question for ya'll. have a 99 and destroyed my rear quarter panel. darn the luck. anyways will the rear quarters off other years work? want to try my hand at replacing it to see what i can do. that and the rear window behind the door on the other side decided it wanted a tree to come in too. will other years windows work for it too? thanks all.
Hi all - I am working some wiring issues to the door and wondered if anyone knew the manufacturer or part number for the pins and connectors used for the speakers and the power windows? I am interested in rerunning the wires in to the connector housings and not having a splice to get into the connector. Thanks for any hints.
they really screwed you over didn't they?
It won't work unless you want to take the transfer case apart and swap input shafts.
Rear quarter panel? do you plan on cutting it out and welding in a new one? because its part of the unibody and can't really be replaced(okay it can, but its stupidly impractical from where I sit) My recommendation for repair would be to get the dents out the best you can and then buy some rear quarter panel armor...there's a reason that at least 3 or 4 different companies make the stuff.
For the window...really any year of the same body style should work.
