I'd like to see a company make a conversion wiring harness for retrofitting 1991-up 4.0L EFI to the 4.2L/258. Some retrofit the 4.0L stock EFI systems to the 4.2L. Howell's TBI works well, and the Mopar EFI system has become quite spendy-though it offers MPI.

I am really pleased with your plans for this vehicle, and the EFI conversion is a major improvement down the road. The body repaint is obviously a wild card for cost. Full-floating is good for a disc brake conversion, short of that the one-piece axle shafts solve the wheel hub shortcoming of the AMC rear axle. Glad you're keeping the AMC Model 20 rear axle, it's quite durable with the one-piece axle shaft upgrade. Very nice platform for a Jeep CJ build, pzanger!!! I like your conservative plans, especially for such a pristine Jeep. Maybe down the road, I will consider an EFI addition and transmission upgrade/change.

I already have the Jeep Owners Bible and will be picking up a copy of Jeep CJ Rebuilder's Manual: 1972 to 1986 My budget is $5,000 and my DIY skills are intermediate.

So far I'd like to do the following items:ģ2" tires (though not sure of axle drive ratios yet)ĪMC 20 retrofit (can't decide between solid axle conversion or full floater kit) This Jeep will be used around town, on coastal foothill fire roads, and trails around Bear Valley, CA. After many hours of research and visiting many parts websites, I was hoping for some advice on what upgrades I should install and how I can prioritize these projects. The previous owner took meticulous care of the rig.

The Jeep is bone stock, including the 258ci engine, T-5 transmission, Dana 300 transfer case, Dana 30 front axle, AMC 20 rear axle, and hardtop. I just recently purchased a 1984 CJ7 Laredo.
