g Great!

The mounts from AA have little dowel pins on them that fit into little holes on the frame on each side. Youll see when you get the mounts. :)

PM me, the girl who made mine can set you up with an invoice. Its cheap, she will just need to know where to send them.

Great I am glad that it helped out another Jeeper!

Yeah I tried to make this build thread as detailed as possible to help others out in the future. Definitely get the 1" BL. I think it just made everything easier. I never wanted to beat the firewall in or any of that other shortcut crap just to reuse junk stock driveshafts, etc. Just did things...

I would not of wanted to do the swap without the body lift. Its easy and cheap enough to do, why not just do it as per AA recommendation. :) As you said, it DEFINITELY helps with clearance-makes things easier all around. To comment on the second part of that, I disagree. People break D60s...

Yes. People seem to think that the Dana 35 is made of glass, but even with those old axle shafts, I never had a failure...and that is with beating the hell out of it. Now do I think that it is a super strong axle? No. But it held up to the abuse I threw at it. And, it was already geared to 4.10 so I...

Agree with above, all of our build threads lay out everything needed to do pretty well, check em out! :) it’s an easy swap, just takes a little creativity in a few places.

Honestly, it looks like you need to do a lot of basic TJ research before you tackle this. A 2.5 transfer case, as it is a NP231, it’s a 21 spline and will not work with an AX-15. You need a 4.0 transfer case from a XJ or TJ that will be 23 spline to work with the ax-15. You need a manual pcm...

If you want a set, I can ask the girl to make a set for you in black. She's a graphic designer, and literally made it look like a factory decal. She took a 4.0L decal, somehow put it into her computer and was able to make a 5.2L design from the same font. Exact same size as the factory 4.0L font...

Like the guy above, it only took a few months. Before I started ANYTHING though, I did countless hours of research. Took lots of notes. That's where the "hard work" paid off. I looked at every build thread, the entire magnum swap thread, made notes of other peoples mistakes, and ignored a lot of...

My ZJ was a 98. Which really doesn't mean much at all. I used a PCM out of a 2000 model, blended wiring harness from my 2000 TJ/98 ZJ, used various other parts that made things fit like OEM. I think I listed most of the parts I used though. :)

Sorry for the late reply. I basically cut the shifter in half, welded a 3" piece of metal extension connecting the 2 pieces. Worked perfectly. The only part of the shifter that I Used was the part that goes into the transmission. After that, I used my own rod so I would thread it for a beer tap...

Feel free to send me a PM with your email address, and tonight or tomorrow I’ll scan my sheet and email it to you.

Pretty well documented problem, had this issue with an AX-5, then once in gear it was fine. I ended up just replacing the trans and it went away, after trying tons of different fluids, recommendations, etc.
