Yup. Country somewhat replaced the limited trim for a few years although that came with the suspension change and things I don't want to fully put lol. My limited had leather seats and power everything. But standard suspension

 

Nope. The Country trim level is completely separate from the rare UpCountry option.

Country is a high trim level that includes pretty much everything Jeep offered each year.

UpCountry is an option that included a 1" lift, skid plates, and I think 3.73 gears and TrakLok limited slip in the rear

 

Thanks for the correction. Country replaced limited badge for a few years than limited badge came back. Iirc they are generally the same. And also thanks for the clarification with country and upcountry.

 

No worries, buddy. It's a common mistake

 

If there is a thread on this, please point me there but. I would like to know what the difference is between the 4.0 in the Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and the TJ/YJ etc.(IE JEEP JEEPS lol). To further define my question: can you drop a Grand Cherokee motor into a Cherokee? if not is it motor mounts trans mount pattern, head, intake, etc IE if I found a low mileage motor, is it a wealth of great parts or just trading material?

Thanks

 

I'm no expert on this, despite having done a few swaps myself. Pretty much any 4.0L from '86 to '06 can be made to work, but it depends on how much work you're willing to do swapping top end parts. There are some links that I'm sure someone can provide that will go into more detail, but we could give a more specific answer of the easiest donors for you if you provide your Jeep's year and model. (I'm guessing it's a '94 XJ?)

 

Clickity Clickty here's some reading related to heads. Why are you looking to swap engines. Is yours blown, etc

 

nevermind again.

Is there any reason to not get heavy load OME leafs?

 

The ride will be a little stiffer, and (this is speculation) they might not flex as well offroad

 

Although I don't know what the spring rate is on these here's another option for a 2" rear lift.

There might be somewhere, but to answer your question quickly: All ZJ, XJ, YJ, and MJ blocks are "the same". There are some minor differences but they'll bolt up just fine. Heads are a similar story... but chances are you're not going to buy a 2000+ XJ long block, anyway.

For any engine swap in one of these vehicles always use your original accessories, unless you're SURE they're an upgrade or are compatible. There are three different fuel systems (sensors, manifolds, etc) and some other changes.

 

waggy 44 and Dana 30 uses same 297x joints?

 

Just upgrade to chromoly shafts or go to junkyard

:P

Internet parts lookup says FSJ & J-truck D44s use 5-760x

 

ah. I forgot about that. For some reason I was thinking of 5-297x

 

5-760x has the same cap size but less suck
