TJ Specifications

[ThePhantum]

So...in conjunction with this thread, outlining Troy's idea on gathering specification info to help out the newbs, I'm starting this to gather info on TJ's. I'm looking to complie a list similar to the list on XJ's in the Cherokee forum

The list in the following post is by no means complete (I believe what I have so far is accurate though)...there is a lot missing, including Rubicon specs. So if you guys and gals could chip in here to help fill it out, that would be awsome...every little bit will help!

edit - oh yeah, can this be made a sticky?

Rock On!

Steve

Commonalties across the Design
Introduced in early 1996 as '97 models. Appearance did not change so much, except for installation of round headlamps. The most notable change was a revised suspension that did away with the leaf springs in favor of coil springs.

Dimensions:
Wheelbase = 93.4"
Overall Length = 151.8"
Overall Width = 66.7"
Overall Height =70.2"
Curb Weight = 3092lbs.
Cargo Volume = 55.7cu. ft.
Fuel Capacity = 15.0-19.0 gals (standardized in '99 to the 19 gal tank)
Seating Capacity 4

Body
The body is only available in a 2 door version. A new canvas top was introduced, with plastic windows, which folded more like a traditional convertible's roof. A hardtop with full metal doors and roll-up glass windows was optional.

Engines
2.5L I4 - 120HP 140ft lb torque
4.0L I6 - 190HP 225 ft lb torque (00 and up models use a distributorless ignition system)

Transmissions
AX-5 - 5-spd manual used with the 4-cyl engine
AX-15 - 5-spd manual, manufactured by Aisin, only with 6-cyl engine from 97-00
NV3550 - 5-spd starting in 2001, coupled with 6-cyl engine until 2004
???? - 6-spd manual coupled with 6-cyl engine
???? - 3-spd auto used 97-02
42RLE - four-speed automatic transmission (used 2003 & up)

Transfer Cases
NP231 and NP241. The input gear of these transfer cases has had some various spline size specification changes. In general, if the vehicle was equipped with a 4-cylinder engine, the transfer case will have a 21-spline input gear. The only exception to this is the Peugeot applications, which always had the 21-spline transfer case. The AX15, used with the 4.0 High Output, and the automatic 727 always have a 23-spline input gear.
