How are those CA Drop Brackets working out?

 

Accually I havent installed them yet. I got sick last week so I never got a chance to install them. Im hope this week.

 

Roughly how much did it cost you to do the conversion?

 

hydro lift

 

The coversion cost me a total of about $570.00. I got the front axle, transfer case, wiring, shifter, cross member, and driveshafts for $220.00. The 4wd transmission I got for $250.00. And tanny mount and extras stuff was about $100.00. I just got lucky finding everything for so cheap.

 

tcase is usually around the same price as a trany...Often times you are better off finding a parts jeep for around $500 or something ..

 

Good luck trying to find one for around $500.00. Everyone around here wanted atleast $800.00 for theres.

 

Yeah, I noticed that. $800 will get you an XJ with a blown engine.

I might bother you later, if I decide to do a conversion.

 

Ya go for it. I could tell you all you need and help you with any coversion questions you need answered.

 

Shoot if I had $500 I could get 2 xj's one 92 and one 89 both are parts jeeps...I want 89 cause it has an NP242 but hence my major prob no $500 sitting around..lol

 

Used car prices down here are horribly inflated. I'm not sure why, maybe because they don't rust?

 

We don't rust either...probably just the market..I just watch craigslist all the time..

 

Im always on craigslist myself. I guess around here there arent that many so they arent that cheap.

 

you can find np242's on more recent model jeeps i think blue did a swap maight PM him

my 2000 has a 242

 

On the cost of parts jeeps: My buddy runs a junkyard, and two weeks ago, he sold 40 cars as scrap and averaged $670 apiece for the sheetmetal alone.

So, if you find a cheap jeep for under $700, buy it, strip off everything you can use, and get your money back on the metals market.
