It took me several months of daily searching for mine.
So does that mean a Durango r/t 5.9L will fit in a zj and maybe an xj?

From a simple google search I read "Transmission won't work without major exhaust and wiring modifications, PCM won't work, and the transfer case will take a bit if customization to make work. the durango 5.9 is NOT as powerful as the jeep 5.9 and uses a smaller cam than the jeep 318."

Seems like even more work for an xj compared to a zj.

After some google time I get the idea that a ls1 would be better.

Do yourselves and the off road community a favor and don't trespass. That is not a "legal" place to wheel. Drive to a legitimate park and wheel there. Unless you know the owner and have permission to be there its trespassing. Punishment is fines and possible impounding of you rig. On top of that it makes all off roaders look bad in the communities eyes. That perception cost us an off road park about half the distance than Ks Rocks. I help run Ks Rocks and the board works very hard to give this community somewhere close, clean, and enjoyable to wheel. Please stay off land that there is not permission to be on.


Sorry to sound like a prude but I have strong feelings toward trespassing to wheel when there are so many good places close to the metro. We are lucky to have as many as we do within 4 or 5 hours at the most.

If anyone is in ned of some tail lights I have some off my '01 in good shape. And some 17-17.5" coil springs (in good shape, taken off when lift installed years ago).

I have them listed for $50 (each/seperately) on craigslist.

Don't think so but I've seen your xj?

I'm also looking for a 4.56 ring and pinion set for a c8.25 if anyone has it.
