I scrapped the idea of putting the ford engine in the jeep and went and got a complete drivetrain from an xj. It's a fuel injected 4.0 auto and t-case with a hack and tap fixed yoke. Thanks 3mco! Also got a Warn 9000i from him too for yager bomb! Boo Ya!
If you need any parts tri-city auto salvage in Greensboro just got a 2000 TJ in about three weeks ago that they are parting out. I tried to buy it before they started parting but they wanted way to much for it being wrecked in the front.
Yes progress is nice now I need to figure out the wiring...maybe just buy a wiring kit to go from an xj motor to tj wiring harness. Anybody know of a source?
Also next is to install some rocker guards I scored and look for an 8.8 rear or dana 44 rear for yagerbomb!
Got the warn 9000i working yesterday! Hooked it up to the zj to test it out and didn't work at all with the remote...nothing. So I used a jumper wire from the bottom hole where the winch controller plugs in to one of the top right or left holes depending on if you want the winch to go in or out and it works great! This thing is fast too! Whoa!
