715 Keeping it Jeep

[TanJeep]

Nice truck! Where in MA are you?

Southcoast Mass


I should update this post, lots has been done with lots left to be done. The 715 however runs and drives!

1994 Cherokee 4.0 HO - AX15 Dana 300 twin stick

I like pictures so here's a bunch of them


Getting the truck home


Fits factory motor mounts with minimal shimming

Fits the trans tunnel well, slight notching of the cab

I was able to use the XJ trans skid, however I flipped it upside down, notched it and reinforced it. I also had to cut out the original crossmember mounts



59" Rear shaft from tom woods



Front shaft is ~28-29 inches, currently I have a CJ shaft in there however with the clocking of the tcase and the pinion angle the u joints are close to binding at the tcase. I picked up a CV driveshaft from a 4cyl XJ which is the right length, I need to swap over a CV yoke from a 231 before I can use 4wd.

I'm still trying to identify this heater to see if I can find a suitable replacement 12v blower


Cj radiator with CJ 4.2 radiator hoses works perfectly
Has headlights on a switch, taillights run through a hydraulic brake switch for now.



Annnd the motor I got had a bad head gasket
