If it's the ZJ Grand Cherokee, many came with the D35 rear axle with disc brakes. Be a good mod to put disc brakes on your YJ D35.
Another one is the temp/compass unit in the overhead console that also does Distance til Empty and mileage. Be sweet to put one in a SWB. Somebody here did, I think it was InspectorGadget.

Jeepin916, here's a link to a write up on swapping the AX-15 out for the AW4. It might help you.

That link IS for installing an auto. The AW4 is commonly found in the XJ and has an overdrive 4th gear. I imagine it's also in many ZJ's behind the 4.0L engine.
The AW4 is computer controlled so you'll need to make the transmission computer work with your existing computer. It's a little longer than the TJ autos so your driveshaft lengths may need changed. The transfer case mounting ring has to be redrilled to properly clock the TJ transfer case on the AW4. The transfer case input needs replaced or machined down to match what's needed for the AW4.
It's a lot of work but it's a good mod to get that OD. One member in our club did it when his TJ auto transmission went out, he seems to be really happy with it. Send a PM to monsterrd on this forum for more info, it's a good friend and neighbor of his.
hey guys i was thinking about it and since i am also swapin gthe engine harness wouldnt it be easier if i swaped in an XJ harness thats got all the hook ups for the auto trans? any thoughts on that? the only thing that i figured that might be different was maybe the length of wireing and positions of the connectors, other than that i cant think of any differences. thanks in advance

You'd need the jeep computer too since the XJ uses the seperate transmission 'puter. That XJ harness may be a tough fit.
That was the great inspector, but I believe he said his was out of a Grand Caravan!Bounty__Hunter said:
There are a lot of parts that could be slavaged with a little thought and creativity. A nice set of leather seats for short cash is always great!! GC have the larger 14" rotors up front where most YJ's, and TJ's only have 12" units. (pre 98 GC) grab some coils for a custom suspension
The rear end is probably junk, but the gears might be worth something. Some GC came with I think 4.11:1 or 4.10:1 or what ever.
