Since we're asking AW4 questions ... mine is 200k+. It's not showing any signs of damage/wear, but I'd like to formulate a plan, for if/when it does. Is my best bet to buy a junkyard and get it rebuilt? Are there any aftermarket options worth throwing at it while doing so?

Are you doing this ASAP? Because I'm going to do an 8.8 swap on my jeep in the next 2-3 months and if you're willing to wait, I'll give you a pre-pulled, known good 8.25 (29/open) for ... $150? (I think you said you're in SoCal, this would be in the Ventura area, if that helps. I could probably arrange to drop it off but it would be much much better if you picked it up.) \/\/ for what it's worth, this one is out of a 2000 XJ auto/4x4 and I *think* I won't need the driveshaft, but I'm not 100% sure yet.

kastein posted:Running out of ideas here and kinda pissed off because you can't buy these new. Junkyard only. And I am sick of pulling transmissions to get at them... when I can find them in the junkyard.  Seriously, though, could you put a different manual in? Is there some version of the ax15 that had a better case design?

I'm not kastein, but: Housing and Harness. 15 minute install, stuff some nice hella bulbs in, AIM THEM (you'll need a T15 driver, I keep this one in my 4.0L Pee Rampage), and enjoy having better / brighter lights than most new cars.

Man, I still want one of those. I mean, I have nowhere to put it, I don't even know if I could register it in CA, and I know my wife would kill me, but it sure would be a fun truck.

That looks like a phone holder. There isn't normally a button there, I think some had a clock and some may have had warning lights, but I've never seen a button.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:2 things: Agreed. I love that truck, and I'm still mad about not seeing the one in my area that was listed for sale cheap a few years ago. I doubt I'll ever get one, but a J truck and an FSJ will always be on my "do it if at all possible" wish list.

I would pretty definitely buy any kastein designed XJ parts, so yeah, finish 'em!

Hmmm, yeah, maybe I need to not do that. I think I only do it on things that would be obviously loose and/or something you are already checking, but I'd hate to be wrong.

I miss going to events like that. If I were anywhere nearby, I'd be there in a heartbeat too.
