Does it have to be 4x4? If not, we can drop one of these spare 4.0L's into the 86. All we need is a transmission. 2wd 5spds are easy to find compared to 4x4 models.

I had the same optima battery for ten years. And I gave it to my little cousin. I paid little over 100 for it wayyyy back then. It never corroded and I put that battery in multiple jeeps race cars boats. I would pull it out and use it for trolling on the boat. It was under water for 4 days on one of my jeeps because it was stuck in a pond. The new ones are expensive. I have one in both jeeps. But im hard on equipment and I neglect haha. Just My wooden nickels worth.

Good morning!

Finally had a day off yesterday and was able to install my lift. I went with conservative with this for now as we have been using the XJ a lot to tow our tiny camper and a lot of road trips. I went with a 3" RC lift from Rockridge 4wd and 31x10.50-15 General Grabber AT's mounted on 15x8 Cragar Soft 8's with 4.75 B.S. from Summit Racing. While I was under there I also installed a new RC steering stabilizer, Daystar front extended bump stops (mine were completely missing), Daystar rear extended bumpstops and a new Moog problem solver track bar. I reset the toe in to 1/8", was at 7/8" toe when I was done with the lift, will be good for around town till I get the alignment done on Friday.
