Tried putting in my 231 w/ sye in my 91 by myself... no transmission jack. Just a regular one. I either need a trans jack, 3 arms or someone to help me. Picked up a new trans mount for it too.

ZJ Grand Cherokees have wiring quick connects on there doors that is held together with a bolt. They make a great upgrade to add to get the doors on and off easier. And depending on your year of XJ and what year of ZJ you get the connectors from, the wires are nearly all the same colors too.

I installed a new gas tank and fuel pump with sending unit!!! The old pump wend bad. I went to replace it and realized that is has never been replaced and the tank was full of muck. Found the new tank for $86 and the complete fuel pump for $84. Score!!
Got a new alternator to put on! Ground the mount down and Upgrading to a 136a or a 160...not sure which one I got. Does anyone know how I can tell? I got it out of a v8 dodge van that had the raised roof and all of the electric options.

Got one door off.. finally. 2 door doors are heavy as ****.
Also, messed up my fender putting it back on. So I have to take it off and hammer it out. The hinge pins only went in halfway because the graphite sleeve on the bottom folded in... so if you're doing this, I have two recommendations: ditch the graphite sleeves and take the doors off before you cut the hinges. I tried for like 3-4 days to do it with the doors on with only a dremel and it's impossible (at least it was for me). As soon as I took the torx bolts off, I had the hinges cut within 10 minutes. If you're having trouble getting the T40 bit into the door, take a box end wrench and put it around the bottom of the bit.
