Yes, that's fine. It's very important that you do NOT have both axles connected to the transfer case if the gear ratios are different. If you leave the front DS out, you'll be fine
Hi! not trying to hijacking this - I could be in the wrong spot but I have a question about my 1991 Jeep Cherokee XJ Briarwood:
I recently bought a 1991 Jeep Cherokee XJ Briarwood. Pretty good condition with one previous owner. The only problem is female component of the drivers side seatbelt has a busted buckle. I'm looking into replacing it and I've found a few Front LH Passenger female seatbelt buckles on e-bay.
My question is can - I replace the Front LH Driverside Female seatbelt with a Front RH Passenger Female seatbelt? Or are they not interchangeable?
Thanks for your help!

I've seen people who put a cone style filter on the end of the intake tube, this is something I'm interested in but I'm having trouble figuring out how to fasten the filter to the tube. I was thinking of using some 3" abs pipe but it's to big to fit in the intake tube. Any suggestions?
This is on a Renix intake tube, and I don't have the filter yet I've just been comparing possible "splices" to the filters at the store.

Congrats on your hot air intake. You do realize you were making more power with the factory airbox?

As said though, it would be hotter air unless you divided it off... and it's mor susceptible to water intrusion. Case in point, I had a k&n FIPK that I took OFF of my Jeep for this very reason. I don't notice any difference in power with or without the intake kit anyway.

Like I said "interested" in. Partially because I ditched my air box for a '93 air box and only too late did I notice that the Renix tube was ripped due to the '93 air box outlet being set back farther.
Why did I ditch the Renix box you ask? The '93 had a better flow to it hoses hooked up on the shortest side instead of wrapping under or around other hoses. Also I liked its way of opening better.
Anyway I currently have a shop rag with k&n oil on it as my makeshift filter after getting a new intake hose so as not to rip a hole in this one either. Problem with that is when the RPMs hit about 3500-4000 the intake hose collapses in on it's self causing me to stall until it pops back into place.
So, I'm looking at different methods to not have my intake hose collapse and have something a little different maybe it'll be hot air intake, maybe it'll be prone to getting water into it, maybe it's just temporary until I can get an air box or a better system on it, which is difficult since no body supports Renix equipment.

It worked, I took it off and put the air box back in, but it did work better than a rag!
I'd like to get a new intake system but as I stated Renix is not favored among aftermarket intake parts, I'll keep looking.
As for the hose collapsing, the accordion part does fine it kinda squishes together, it's the elbow that collapses right on to the TB.

Junkyard is not an option unfortunately, costs $10 to get in and while sure that goes towards a purchase if ones made its ****ing ridiculous, also last time I was there they had ONE Cherokee, a '99, that had been in for 4 days and was completely stripped.

Thanks for the offer though that's a steal.
