With a little luck next weekend I'll be pulling the drive line out of the donor to start the 4.0L over haul.

New seals, gaskets, maybe new rings, Header, looking at a injector swap and looking for a '99 or newer 4.0L intake...

Looking good. What year is this must be newer than mine because of the floor braces. Also are those weird armrests a 2 door thing or what. I have them on my 2 door and they are all busted up and look awful. Just wondering.

This a '96, and ya the arm rests are a 2 door thing. My buddy's '91 also has them..

'96 was the transition year for the front floor. But all the motor and electrical going in this ol' girl is out of a '92 and the axles out of a '89..

Sounds fun. I will be excited to see how awesome this thing becomes. Then I will become jealous of your jeep and want my 2 door to be like yours. However, at this moment I like mine better because it has an engine and other important stuff in it.
