[QUOTE="T-Rex Jeepster, post: 431336, member: 19821"] Don't be.....It meets my requirements......Do a lot of highway cruising, And I bought a Jeep because I can't ride cycles anymore...... A YJ with no doors and a bikini top gets me as close to my half century lifestyle as possible. And honestly, I should have bought a Jeep 25 yrs. ago. I dig the lifestyle and the cool cats you meet along the way. I've been building bikes, cars and Pick-ups since I was a kid down Louisiana way, This Jeep I bought had the dreaded 2.5 with the AX-5 with 31's and the 4:11's....Dependable sure....But completely underwhelming power wise. So I found a wrecked '94 with a HO 4.0 and the AX-15 and swapped 'em.....And found out the hard way Jeep YJ's of those two years are Chrysler products and NOTHING interchanges....Would have small blocked it if I knew what I was going to get into, It would have been easier. BUT....I'm tickled to death over this engine, Speedo had 169,000 on the wreck but we all know the dependability of Jeep gauges...And it's silent compared the rattle bucket the 2.5 was. Had to use the rear out of the wreck because someone had welded a shock cleat in place of a broke one on the rear of the 4:11 that was one of the worse jobs I had ever seen.. The cleats didn't match and had the drivers side bottoming out if you went over anything over an inch high...And that's how I wound with the 3:07's so of course, Had to change out the gearing up front, And how I learned about the cage thingy...... I'm getting on in years so I really went deep with the rebuilds of the motor and axles.....Tranny's next because I'm guessing someone serviced it and put the the wrong GL rating gear lube in it and destroyed the sync's....If you go over GL-3, They put in additives that destroy "Yellow" Metals thus bad syncs.....I can drive it, But I want it plum when I give it to my Daughter in I'm guessing a few years down the road......Sorry if it's long winded........
