Re: Super Shopper Special
So I took some time off last week to get a good bite out of the Jeep. I really wanted to get both diffs/suspension/Steering complete but the damn Rona is jamming up my parts shipment. Anyways got the 8.8 completed and brakes plumbed.

Re: Super Shopper Special
Pulled the front out to do some Trac Bar mount mods
Cut a piece of 2x3 tubing and worked out well. Plan is to raise the mount up by 1.5” to better jive with my drag link angles

Re: Super Shopper Special
Ground to fit and laminated another piece to beef it up
Bent around
And drilled. I left a gap above the laminated piece to get a solid weld on both. Worked out.

Re: Super Shopper Special
I also finally found a NP231J and over paid for it but it will be getting a full rebuild with HD Chain and a SYE. Next up is to pull the box out and drill and tap for Hydro Assist, make up a new Trac bar as my Heims showed up and drag link and Tie Rod.

Re: Super Shopper Special
You needed a NP231J? I have like 2 or 3 of them or something.
Nice job on raising the track bar mount.
And I hear you on the 'rona virus ruining the parts supply. Shipping times are so unpredictable it makes it hard to plan anything.

Re: Super Shopper Special
NEWB Question So I pulled the 249 out and am going to temp install the 231 until my rebuild parts and SYE kit arrive so the jeep is at least mobile. I noticed the senors had different size pin connectors, the speed sensor swapped over no problem but my issues is the 4WD indicator sensor. I searched and seen lots of guys pulling apart the dash and harness to get it to work, fuck that.
-Will the NP231 Sensor from a 4.0 ZJ work? or do I have to rewire the harness because mine was a full time 4wd?

Re: Super Shopper Special
Got the box tapped and back in the Jeep. Sling the front diff back under it. Made up a mock trac bar. Went with 7/8 helms and up sized the bolts to 9/16. Had to turn down the misalignment spacers
Happy with the angles and started putting the springs and shocks back in
