[QUOTE="dieseljeep, post: 425114, member: 18592"] This project is a bit far off, but I got a free YJ that has been wrecked. It has 2.5L with manual transmission and the NP231 was broken in half during the wreck. A motor mount is broken, bunch of little stuff has been broken and the hard top was broken, including some rear damage. My plan is to save the frame and stretch it and save the front half of the tub and use the rear half to make a trailer. I want to do a diesel swap, but I'm not sure which one. I have a TJ with a R2.8 Cummins and I really like that engine, but I kind of want to go 4BT or Kubota or TDI or something and I want to probably run a 3/4 ton manual transmission, a doubler t-case with a Dana 300 (4:1)/NP231 (I'll have a spare one once I swap mine out on my TJ) and I'm not sure for the rear axle, but I think it was damaged. I am pretty much stealing this guy's build on a R2.8 forum I have posted on looking for specific info on that engine. [ATTACH type="full"]115491[/ATTACH] I may not go snorkel (it's obviously not a TJ), and I like a more minimal bumper. This build is not my focus, but any comments and considerations are welcome. I just have tractors I've got to get fixed and my TJ needs gearing in the rear and t-case and suspension work and whatever else I decide to add eventually. The TJ is my DD, but when it is done, and from some mods I want to do on my truck, then I want to get into this. I may start on the trailer first. So any suggestions, let me know. [/QUOTE]
