Quote from: CaliEagle97 on January 08, 2025, 12:32:54 PMI used the JB Custom Fab cable shifter for mine. It did require a fair bit of floor trimming to use the shifter, but I like it a lot. I can't get photos to be added to my replies here, so I'll link annother build thread that I've got and you can see it there. I'll also add the link to the website I got it from. I went with the flush mount with vinyl boot and the 48" cable length. The shifter is way smoother than any of the factory YJ or XJ/MJ stuff I've used. You should be able to reuse the front driveshaft too.
What shifter did you use for the NP231 swap? Do you have any photos of it?
Lift - I have a mild lift on my wagon using Javelin springs up front with rubber spacers, and an add-a-leaf in the rear as well. Eventually I would like to get my 8.25" Chrysler axle in the rear, but without a garage & the time to do the work, it remains a future goal.
HEI - I also have an HEI distributor swap, done before I bought the vehicle.
Fuel Tank - Back when I was lifting the eagle, I also opted for a larger fuel tank. Picked up the AMC1 from Spectra, a 22 gallon tank to replace the 15 gallon tank it came with.
Cooling - Last year I discovered coolant boiling over inside the engine. I replaced the thermostat, assuming it went out, but to no avail. This put me on for swapping the whole radiator, thermostat & housing, using a 3 core aluminum rad. Currently working on getting this done.
NP231 - Up next is the process of my NP231 swap. I got the T/C out of a '98 TJ. Installed an SYE kit, just for the giggles, while rebuilding the transfer case, and I am using the YJ shifter bell-crank, along with Advance Adapters' shifter kit (715545, 715545H & 715545C). Got it all prepped & ready, just saving up for the driveshafts now.
