what parts should Look for

 

What parts do you need?

 

Get all the sensors that you can find and stockpile them. If and when you should need one you will save a lot of cash as you will already have them!

 

x2 on the sensors.

I am always jealous of those who can run down to the JY and pull parts.

Check for anything that needs replaced or might need replaced soon ... rusted parts etc.

Hitches, hooks, any skid plates you might want.

 

look for throttle body spacers. thats where i found mine

 

I need a throttle body.

neon injectors!

 

Thanks warpig602 I m going to get ahold of him as soon as I go pick up a used tb housing an also find out what MM's he bores them to.

 

T B Spacers if you can get one free get it to sell it ,they do nothing for mpi on our jeeps but will work for tbi or carbs.

 

skid plates (front and gas tank skid), tow hooks, grille guards (found mine in a junkyard), hitches (for a rear tow point), Dana 44, axles out of a 4 cylinder (for the 4.10 gear ratio), sometimes you can even find some lifts in there too. theres much more stuff you can grab that works on your XJ, it just depends on what you need/want to upgrade.

 

MOVED!

Going to the Junkyard! is NOT TECH.

 

Here comes my list again

Suspension & Lift:
1. ZJ V8 Upcountry Coils = 1-1.5" lift
2. F-150/Bronco Coils ('79-ish) = 4-4.5" lift
3. S10 leaf packs (cut eyes off S10 main and bolt pack under XJ main) = 3-4" lift
4. JK shocks = slight mod to fit 2-4" lift
5. MJ Shackles = 1/2" lift
6. Camaro Spring Isolators = 1.5" lift
Brakes:
1. WJ brake booster
2. WJ Master Cylinder
3. YJ Brake Lines = 3-4" longer
4. Dodge Ram Van Brake Lines = 10-12" longer (for big lifts)
5. WJ Rotors/Calipers = bigger brakes and more stopping power (will fit 15" rims)
Axles:
1. Ford 8.8 inch ('97+) = need spring & shock mounts (4.10, LSD, Disc Brakes)
2. XJ I-4 & V6 = 4.10 gears (some have 4.56) may have vacuum discos
3. 97+ XJ C8.25 = bolt in and upgrades to 29 spline (strength comparable to D44)
Front End & Steering:
1. ZJ V8 Tierods = beefier & bolt in
2. WJ Knuckles/Tierods/Draglinks = beefier and crossover steering
3. Durango Steering Box = beefier
4. 350 or 351 Power Steering Pump = helps with oversize tires (requires welding)
5. WJ LCA's = more tire clearance (some grinding required)
6. ZJ pitman arm = 1 inch drop over stock
7. WJ rear LCA's = replace XJ front LCA's, 2" longer to accomodate a lift, some grinding required
Engine Performance:
1. Newer XJ intakes (may require some modification)
2. Mustang 5.0 Injectors = bolt in (have 4 holes instead of 1, more fuel, better spray)
3. ZJ V8 alternator = more power to run accessories (some grinding required)
4. Taurus Dual Electric Fans ('96-98) = replaces mechanical fan, better cooling
Other:
1. '94+ V6 Dakota AX-15 = bolt in (but must use XJ bellhousing)
2. Lebaron or laser hood vents = help keep ur 4.0 cool
4. MJ Bucket seats = tilt forward, bolt in to at least older XJ's
5. ZJ gas tank skid = can be modified to fit 97+
6. ZJ and WJ stock tranny coolers with stacked plates (even an upgrade for us with the stock fin style)
7. GM power antennas replace your broken XJ's with little modification
8. 5spd crossmembers give 3/4 inch tcase drop on autos with no loss in ground clearance
9. You can convert the closed system to open without replacing your radiator by using the fill cap from a 4.7 durango or dakota, cutting it into your upper hose, and replace your bottle with an Mj overflow tank or any that fit. Then cap off or eliminate the T'ed lines in the heater core.
10. XJ '97+ doors onto older cherokees = one piece windows and better mirrors

 

Damn, that's great list. Thanks's DUDE454, I'm going to save that!

 

Ya ive got it saved on word an when ever anyone asks about compatability or what to get i paste it up. Already gave a copy to all my buddys with an XJ.
