Just wondering if there are any interchangeable parts from other jeeps? brakes, seats, bigger deisel motors etc. There was a thread on a chev (i think) torque converter but i can't find it again. And I'd love to go to twin (or more ) piston brake calipers.
Any similarities between the 3.0 v6 crd and the 2.8crd? Are they worlds apart or would the conversion be possible?

As far as i know Dodge nitro fold down front seats can go in KJs, dodge durango rear shocks can be used if you shim them and extend the brake line brackets down a bit, cant think of anything else off the top of my head

But they do take some mods to make them work in a KJ. And depending on what year you have to some how adapt for the airbag sensor and what not.

Bs eh?

There is a side by side pic of a kk and kj cradle, oh and there is the kk cradle installed on my kj. Guess what... If the KJ arms mounted to the kk cradle during my little experiment then it is safe to assume that kk arms with bolt to a kj cradle. Shall I continue and order a set of knuckles and post pics of them installed on my kj also?

Or can you take it at face value that I actually am testing a theory. .... Bs that.. And get off my back.

Dodge dakota rear shocks
Kk clevis
4.7 throttle body from WJ
4.7 coil on plugs
LJ rear coil springs?? (Rumor)
Kk steering rack (I believe)
Kk engine (depending on year of kj)
The headlight bulbs are big one, I THINK it's a grand caravan that uses the same bulb?? Tons of those in the wreckers, always free bulbs.. They don't care about stuff like that.
Higher amp altwrnator option from rockauto
IRO upper rear arm for wj (If I ever release the bracket to the public lol)
I have heard of guys putting the rubicon tcase on a lib,
The list really is endless when you think about it.

I have pretty much hacked my entire libby up and tried everything under the sun, and fantasized about the rest.

I have a Rubi Rocktrac in my KJ. See it with my own eyes everyday. Not really a easy swap, but with some work (and alot of $$) they fit.
