I need help with the brain parts of this decision. I have an ‘89 Pioneer XJ with 4.0l, AW4, NP242, hp non-disco 30 front, factory d44 rear, 3.55s in the pumpkins, on some old but no-mile 33x12.5r15 Mickey Thompsons.
The plan has always been to keep it on 33s, keep the decent leaf sprung rear and the mishmash short arm lift stuff up front until long arms come together, and re-gear to 4.56 with selectable lockers. This wagon is going camping, hunting, and realistically mostly going to and from work and picking my little girl up from daycare.
A guy local to me on marketplace has some new JK, thick-cut, 4.88s and a jk master install kit for a good price, and I’m poor. Any good reason not to try to make these work with the open carrier that is in there, and stuff a full case locker designed for the numerically lower gear sets whenever finance allows? Am I being stupid thinking about dinking around with the JK stuff? Ease my mental burdens with a free one-way ticket on the 870 Express to open-mindedness? Bacon?
Not enough sleep has had me over-thinking simple decisions for most this year-of-our-Lord 2024.
