How’s it going, quick question. Trying to build a 4.0 to have as a spare for my 04 TJ. I picked up a good 115k mi. 4.0 block that was originally from a 99 XJ. I’m trying to find a head and found a 0331 “TUPY” head from a 04 TJ, would that head work? ** Side note: any guides or pointers would be...

So having a hard time figuring out what to do. Donor 99 durango ccd 5.9 motor and trans. Into a 2004 pci Tj I have access to an entire 99 ccd Tj for wiring. I mean everything. (Gutting for a simple buggy refresh.) Question is. What to do about swap wiring. Do I use the entire Durango...

starting this thread to document my swap instead of doing it after the fact when my memory is fuzzy. Background: my NSG370 pops out of reverse. In street use it's tolerable but it's exacerbated when backing against any resistance, such as uphill (like the 8% grade on my driveway) or if a tire...

Anyone ever swap axles between a Rubicon and Sport and put the Dana 30/d35s in the rubicon? I have access to a rubicon and the owner doesn't care about lockers and Dana 44. I have a sport and would love to do a direct swap. Anyone have experience doing this type of trade and making both jeeps run...

Hey there, I'm new here and this is my first thread post. I turned 19 recently and my parents got me a 97 TJ for my first vehicle. Its a standard Sahara, green with a tan hard top. I love it dearly, but lately its been having some minor issues that I have been able to fix for myself. Now though...

I've been looking into swapping a 5.3 Gen 3 engine to my 99 Jeep 4.0 Thinking of keeping the AX15 Transmission and Original Gauges. It is A LOT of work for sure to do all this, any of you know who does these kinds of swaps around DMV area? And how much? TIA

Hello!, my name is Karl I live in Quito Ecuador, and wanted to ask from the Jeep guys a question. I live in Quito Ecuador and I'm after a Jeep TJ 4.0L, I found one that is in very good condition but the problem is that it had a transmission swap.

Howdy Everyone, Hopefully this is the right place to post this... I am about to start my dream jeep build. My wife and I love to travel all over in our jeep and want to create a Ultimate Adventure Vehicle which we can eventually use with our kids. Goal is to make it Reliable, Safe, and better...

I have a 1998 Jeep Wrangler with a 2.5l with a manual transmission. I think I’m going to swap the engine, I’m going to put a stroked 4.0l so around a 4.7l. I was just getting y’all opinions about everything I will need to do. I know I’ll need a new ecu, wiring harness (harness needs to have...

My TJ has the Dana 35 and 30 and I want to run 35s. My question is, can I get away with this combo? I would also upgrade brakes and steering because those aren’t as expensive. The Jeep mostly sees forest service roads and mud, so no heavy wheeling.

I was wondering if any of you have used the Novak block hugger headers for a TJ Gen lll swap? If so, have they been reliable, leak free and have you been generally happy with them after putting some miles and years on them? So that's the primary question but to expand a bit if you care to read...

Okay guys, looking to collect the pooled wisdom of those on this forum, as I may be attempting something in possibly unexplored territory. SKIP TO THIRD PARAGRAPH FOR THE ACTUAL INQUIRY Backstory: When I first got my 5spd 2000 TJ Sport about 5 months ago, it had dangerously bald tires but I...

I’ve got a great condition 2003 hardtop but I need a 2002. Anyone wanna swap?😂😭

Looking for some advice. I have a 99 Sahara on 33's, 4.5" suspension lift, 1" body lift with Dana 35. I was attempting to teach my wife to drive a stick Thursday evening, she kind of held the brake while letting off the clutch, then pop goes the rear diff. (Not her fault or anything, that's...

Hi All, I posted a while back about recommendations as to why my 97 wouldn't run. A mechanic took a look and diagnosed the camshaft as bad. So, I found a 98 wrangler Tj with a 2.5 and decided that would be a perfect switch. We now have the 98 motor moved over into the 97 frame, all hooked up...
