Well, after hanging out with Doug "JeepNut" and reading a few other threads I have done a few really great budget junkyard upgrades on our Wrangler TJ. The Rear Disc Brake Assemblies and Tie Rods off the 93-98 Grand Cherokee just bolt right up and provide the Wrangler with a huge improvement over stock! Anyone have other upgrades which save some dough post em up here!

Jeep Cherokee model XJ (1983–1996)
Jeep Grand Cherokee model ZJ (1993–1998)

Here are few known upgrades:

ZJ V8 Solid Tie Rod (huge improvement)
XJ complete High Pinion front axle.
ZJ Front Coil Spring Clamps (Locks bottom of coil in place)
ZJ, XJ, or TJ front driveshaft to build a rear CV driveshaft.
ZJ front coils with isolators from a V8 will lift the front about 3"
Crown Vic rear springs will lift the rear about 3.5"
ZJ Disk Brake Assemblies D35 and D44 (huge improvement).
ZJ or XJ stock pitman arm = 4" drop pitman arm for TJ.
98-99 Durango Steering Gearbox (larger gears & piston bore, quicker steering radius)
Chevy Astro steering box (for those who want to tap for hydro assist)
136 Amp Alternator from 97-98 ZJ, Dakota, Durango, or Ram (OEM PN:56027913) 97-03 Wrangler.
2004–2006 Durango with 4.7/160 Amp Alternator, will bolt right into an 04-06 Wrangler.
AMC or old school Ford York Air Compressors.
Perfectly balanced tires with 1000 20gram air soft pellets in each tire.
8.8 Rear Axle - Ford Explorers 95-01 with disk brakes, easy upgrade for YJ's & TJ's.
Transmission and Power Steering Coolers off many vehicles.

Good info Mark I'll definitely be on the lookout for ZJ disc brakes and Durango gear box

Thanks

Terry, when we gonna go grab you some disc brakes? I got no plans this weekend. Dogman wants to grab a set also, Larry drove my TJ after the last meeting and was amazed by the brakes and the bored out throttle body. We could plan a club day at the Salvage yard! my cell is 609-8008
