sweet! Now, as far as swapping in a whole drivetrain from an XJ, (4.0 Asin AW4, NP231, so on and so forth. How difficult would that be?

I have absolutely no experience with MJ's I am very familiar with the XJ though

Here's a build where the guy puts a 4.0 into an 86

http://comancheclub.com/topic/39492-...-86-mj-custom/

In 86 there weren't any 4.0s until late 86 when amc started making the 87 models takes some massaging but it can fit

Hey Lee,
When you installed the sliders did you drill into the pinch seam or does the bolts hug into the pinch seam?

The bolts "pinch" the pinch seam. You have to install the small plug first to see where to adjust it to touch the outside of the pinch seam. Then you install the larger pinch bolt to the inside of the pinch seam and tighten it with an allen key.

What's up fellas
Finally fixed the toolbox, I broke the welds off the lid when trying to remove it to put in the plastic Bedliner in....
Tool box installed as well as the liner...
Next week I'm going to start painting the sliders to mount on the Comanche, and install the new steering on there..

@VitaminLee_

Lee, what's up buddy. Just joined the Cherokee forum. You freezing your butt off yet? We are headed to Jeep Ranch this weekend. Should be fun. They added a new trail.
