I went to the junkyard and got me one of those lighted rear view mirrors and installed it. Great map reading and increased lighting when I open my doors.

What about the breather tube? You can rig a filter to it, but I wouldn't leave it open like that.

WJ seats work as well.
No mods when you use the factory TJ brackets.
Less than 15 minutes to unbolt and bolt in.

Don't ask me bout making the power up/down/back/forth stuff work cuz i ain't figured it out yet.Ya gotta use the ZJ seat sliders to make that stuff functional.

Look at my cardomain page 2 for pics of mine.

Does anyone have any more info about moving ZJ seats into a TJ? I found a few sets of really nice seats at my local yard. If I use the factory TJ brackets I can move the seat back and forth, but I am concerned about not being able to lean the seat back and forth because that is operated by power. Any help would be much appreciated!

This, in my book, is called a HOT air intake...

I was just talking about this today and actually chimed in to mention it. Any more info on it? I've yet to actually go look for one.

Didn't see this method listed on here so I thought I add it. How about a v8 zj tierod over the knuckle on a dana 30 hp. You have to drill your driverside knuckle and purchase and weld in a insert Goferit Products! . The only thing is you have to flip the tierod over also so the adjustment sleeve it on the draglink side. The nice thing is you dont have to relocate the swaybar brackets. The fliped zj tierod has factory bends that clear everything almost perfect. I did notice very little rubbing one the trackbar mount with the sleeve clamp but it was mostly paint transfer. Putting a washer under the limit stop would most likely fix this if your concerned though. I am in process of trying this with a Currie draglink setup and save $100 on a complete currectlink kit.

What's the advantages of the Durango stearing box swap?
Also: What years Durango are compatible with what years TJ?

So the front springs on a TJ will lift the rear 3"?

Yes if not 4" but the spring isn't as secure as I would feel comfortable with.

Anyone manage to get the power fun (& heaters) working on the grand cherokee seats? I'm wondering how smart the BCM is, maybe it could be installed isolated and used solely for the seat controls.. (it seems to be entirely environmental/fluff controls - interior lights, etc. So maybe..maybe..)
