Bill's 1 Ton TJ Build
Mreecew:
Ahhhh I see, If thats the case I'd still go with the aw4 then, Cheap, stupid strong and reliable.
Bill3753:
Starting to be the way I'm leaning on it.

AW4 is the way to go hands down. Also being an overdrive trans will work much better with the 5.13's on the road. A 3 speed is going to be tough on the road with 5.13's. Glad your back on the project.
Bill3753:
Ya, so am I Bob. I found a 2000 XJ AW4 today. Guy had the transmission rebuilt, then the engine blew. Should be getting it today for $250 with a lot of the swap parts I'll need.
For the transfer case, I scored a Stak 3 Speed Monster Box on pirate4x4 VERY cheap. Excited to get it. Bought it from the guy on pirate who repairs the popping out of gear problem some of these are know for. He updates the intermediate shaft with his own CNC piece that people there say works great. With this fix installed, it's going to be an awesome transfer case. 1:1, 3.01:1, and 5.44:1 ratios.
Body wise, I painted a lot of the armor yesterday. Need to sand it a little then put a second coat on before putting it back together.
Lot more little stuff to do, but it's all getting there.
Mreecew:
Ok thats pretty awesome that your gonna run a stak. I can only dream of those cases. That should make for one nice crawl ratio especially behind and automatic
