maybe not real quick being im going from a 93 to a 96 and stretching the rear and plating the "frame" and planning on keepping this one a while so im going to try and do everything right the first time around lol

 

good luck

 

thanks i talk to the guy i bought the chassis from quite a bit so it shouldn't be to big o deal, so far the only diffrence iv found is at the fuel rails at the quick connects are diffrent so ill just pop the 93 fuel line out and put them into the 96 and adjust accordingly being the tank is also been mock into the rear cargo area

 

Hey guy's,

Now my flex plate is haveing issues, so I might as well change the oil, replace a oil pump, replace rear main seal, oil filter and rings, and change the engine mount..........hmmmm, since I live in western MI on the shore of lake Michigan, one of you guys live close by with a heated work area and plenty of knowlege to help me. I'll spring for food a drinks..... pm me ( i still got to buy the parts)

 

wow frank sounds like your have problems like me. balljoints 2 wheel hubs drag link is done now shock bushings swaybar bushings and find that anoying sound from the motor and fix it

 

Heat? What's that? PANZY!!

 

Hey I think im making a lkq (hope thats right) trip this weekend. Sale time! I am thinking of putting my sliders on today, suppose to be in the 50's here. Dont even need a coat with that kind of weather. To bad I don't have my parts ready yet for my flex plate odesey.

 

I was just there the other day...the location near Holland. If I remember correctly, there were about 8-10 XJ's in various years and flavors.

 

The address actually is Holland. Yes, they had quite a few when I was there on the 2nd. I thought about pulling a front axle to fix mine. The front lower control arm mount rusted, and ripped off on mine when I moved the truck before Christmas. The rust is consuming this frickin' thing... The Cherokee started knocking this summer, on top of the other issues it already has... I ended up pulling an axle out of a 93 Caprice, to get one of my Roadmasters going for winter. Not having a posi, and no easy way to add one with a 2.56 ratio sucks. 3.08 posi will be much more fun in the snow. Complete axle with a very good posi for $67 out the door. Hard to beat. They didn't bother to charge me for the springs and other items I had.

I'm pretty sure the Blue 87 Cherokee in the 2nd to last row, had a Dana 44 rear axle. The pinion flange was gone, but the rest of it was there. I thought about grabbing it, but I decided I'm going Ford 8.8 whenever I decide to do an axle swap to ditch the Dana 35. But, I had my sights already set on that Caprice axle. I seriously considered pulling that 87's 4.0 engine as well. I pulled an engine from a 95 Buick Roadmaster(LT1 350) the day before at the Kalamazoo yard, for $125 complete engine. They screwed up, and forgot to charge me the $50 core charge.

I love deals!!!! My brain goes bonkers when I see the LKQ's having a 50% off sale.

 

lkq in wayland allways gets the newer xj's but they dont last long

 

It helps that they are over twice the size of Holland... and right across the street from the auction.

 

I was just at the LKQ in Holland. They had quite a few ZJ's there. I was thinking of grabing a tie rod, reiw mirror, and some front seat's( dont know what's involved in making those fit), Of course when I went there, I went with no tools.....what was I thinking?

 

I do that too. Then you find something you really want and you're like ***** how did I forget my tools

 

What are you guys smoking? Even when I have no plans on taking something home, I take enough tools to completely disassemble a car.

 

I see the force is strong within you oh Obee Wan...LOL
