Can't really use any transmission that came stock in a Jeep because they are all too weak or if from an early CJ and strong enough, don't have any O.D. capability which is a real problem for any street driven Jeep. I will keep you all up to date. BTW, I am putting together the build on the...

Sorry it took so long to answer you on this @BLACKJKU but yes I am using the ZF s5-42 transmission. It is the small block wide ratio gasser variant. I yanked it out of a 1994 Ford Bronco that was equipped with the EFI 4.9L 300 Cu. In. straight-6 motor. It was the bargain basement bottom trim...

Update: Ended up selling our JKUR a year ago. One reason for no updates and not much posts lately. I am full swing building the CJ-7 Cummins turbo diesel jeep. It already has upgraded axles under it from when I had the Vortec Gen III V8 in it. Enjoyable ride that regularly saw 20+ MPG...

I also found a couple more parts to sell for the JKUR: I have the Smitty roll cage add on kit brand new never installed still in the multiple boxes it came shipped in. This is a bolt-in cage similar to the Rock-Hard concept design. Got it for our JKUR that we sold a year ago and ran across...

And yes @BLACKJKU there were a few companies around that you could get York compressor kits from. Kilby Enterprises was one of the players back in the early mid 2000's that had kits for different applications and I bought some parts from him to do my OBA kit at one of the off-road shows. Other...

Yes, I just reduced the price last week. Sold the JKUR and never had the time to install it. Rick

Still on schedule for the upgrades to our JKUR, just busy with life and the Diesel Jeep build over on sister site for YJ's. I will also be having the clearcoat paint repaired on the windshield frame and hood that has become "chalky" looking. RR

How long did it take you to put the kit on? Any help with friends or all by yourself on that one? Were you using power tools or did you do it all on your back on the ground with hand tools? I have air tools to aid in the job so I will probably be enlisting their help on this. Or was it a shop...

We currently have two Jeeps: 1 is a JKUR, the other is a CJ-7. We will be working on both in the coming months and post up for those who would like to follow. I will also post pictures of the JKUR we have when I do the lift kit, wheels and tires. I will also show the mods on our JKUR that we...
