Are you using a kit, jeep liberty set-up, or of your own design? I'm using a jeep liberty setup. The axle I swapped into this truck was pretty stripped. Like nothing there but the backing plates. So since I had to buy everything either way I went and got the liberty setup and bought new disk pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read all 20 pages of your build. Missed two episodes of Perry Mason reruns, but it was time well spent. Mopar Action magazine did a story on using 2003-2007 jeep liberty rear disc on 8 3/4 Mopar rears using all stock liberty parts with only minor machine work needed. The problem in my area, at the salvage yards, is finding the disc backing plates that are not rusted beyond use. Also, you had some bucket seats but then went to a bench seat? From what vehicle.

Young Ed Posted May 28 Author Report Share Posted May 28 I'm in MN so that rust thing is a problem here too but my donor parts seem solid enough although not rust free. The original buckets were out of a Chrysler Sebring. Grabbed them because of the integrated shoulder belts. Currently I have a 90s Dakota bench seat sitting in the truck. It seems to fit very well and I'm leaning towards using it and just figuring out my own shoulder belts. The bench seat also fits the look of the truck better to me. I'm trying to go for something that looks old to the point I'm considering a 12v generator over the alternator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 with the two boys, you would do better with the bench seat.....as the truck is not stock, go with a good Mopar alternator...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted June 30 Author Report Share Posted June 30 Little progress today. Finally got all the new brakes installed on the rear axle. This is a 94 Cherokee diff with the liberty conversion. I need to install lines to the center and then up to the MC but its nice to see it back on 4 wheels. Also needed to be able to move it to safety for some pending tree work 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48Dodger Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 NICE! I remember seeing it in stages at your shop. You were working on the bed. On a side note, how's the sticker collection coming on the shop door? 🙂 45D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
