 the 95 to 96 XJ.
XJ, you don't have to mess with the firewall. No big deal anyway.
But, you have to move the washer reservoir. And, once the original booster comes out, the bracket inside the cab moves and makes it a bear to install the new booster.
WJ you have to bend or cut the firewall lip, but don't move the washer bottle.
As an added bonus, the mounting studs of the WJ booster are a bit smaller and it's easier to get in.
Another bonus with the WJ is that it has FLEXIBLE lines from the master cylinder that make putting things together MUCH easier.
And, WJ boosters are newer and easier to find…..
6 of one, half dozen of another.
Pushrod issues with either one?
When I did the WJ on my 89 I had to open the hole up a little bit and grind a flat spot for the brake light switch.
Lots of videos on the swap.
Actually, the WJ booster is in some ways easier than the 95 to 96 XJ. I've done both.
Perhaps this is true if you are doing the WJ upgrade on a Renix. But for the 91 and up HOs, the 95/96 XJ swap is by far the easiest. Using the 1/4" spacer behind the booster, no firewall mods are required, and the firewall holes are correct for the four booster mounting studs. It's pure plug and play, even with the brake switch wiring. The only thing that's different are the two brake line fittings on the master cylinder you have to plumb in. And if your windshield washer tank is still in the stock location, it may have to be moved forward a bit if you don't make tight bends on the master cylinder lines. A two hour job max, even with bleeding.

The 99 to 2004 wJ works better in my experience.
Got the 96 booster & mc & prop valve in. Should I use the 91 or 96 prop valve? Also, what do I with all the wiring left from the old system? There are plugs everywhere! And my battery went dead. Any relation to unplugging all the old brake stuff?
What wiring? A 96 booster/master swap on your 91 requires no wiring changes. Did (does) your 91 have ABS?
Should I use the 91 or 96 prop valve?
I don't think there's any difference between them but I don't know about ABS for certain. They are not different for non-ABS. The flared fittings on the new MC are different and will have to be changed.
The 91 had ABS. I got the proportioning valve with the 96 mc & booster & left it hooked up. I am just going to hook up the lines to the wheels & try it. Thanks for the help everybody!
The newer ones will have am electric motor back up.
Its been my experience that while the back up does indeed work it doesnt work that well.
Spidermikey88, what mods did you have to do?
I did the wj booster and master cylinder upgrade on my 87 and it made a huge difference. But like the other guys have said, you have to do a few modifications to make it work. I think it was worth it though and I'm about to do the same thing to another xj I just picked up.
What did you do about the prop valve?Spring Hill, Tenn. – In partnership with Major League Fishing’s Fisheries Management Division (MLF-FMD), Mercury Marine and MossBack Fish Habitat, the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA) and its volunteer work force recently completed a fish habitat enhancement project on the 640-acre Duck River Reservoir in Cullman, Alabama.
Six union members, representing Iron Workers Local 92, UA Local 91 Plumbers, Steamfitters and HVAC Technicians, and the Alabama AFL-CIO donated nearly 40 hours of labor (valued at over $2,000) recently to assemble 85 artificial fish habitat structures with materials provided by Mercury Marine and MossBack.
“It is an honor to be given the opportunity to connect our union customers with the USA to partner on conservation projects like this one,” said Tori Letson, vice-president and business development officer at the Bank of Labor in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. Letson was instrumental in recruiting and organizing the volunteer work force for the Duck River project.
“Union men and women understand the importance of giving back to their communities and never hesitate to fulfill the call to volunteer their time, resources and skills. Not only do these projects enhance wildlife habitats across the country, but they give union members the opportunity to shine through their selfless actions using their highly honed skills,” Letson added.
The reservoir’s dual purpose is to provide a supplemental water supply for the city and surrounding area as well as recreational opportunities for local residents and visitors, according to Cullman Utilities Board Reservoir Manager Tim Scott.
“When designing the lake, we had to strike a balance between water quality and recreation,” added Dale Greer, director of the city’s Economic Development Agency. “During the construction phase, the city put in 25 miles of walking/biking trails through the buffer zone that surrounds and protects the lake as well as two boat launch ramps and an accessible fishing pier. At the same time, we removed brush and debris that would soon decompose and reduce water purity from shallow areas in the lake itself.”
MLF-FMD drew upon its partnership, formed in 2021, with the USA and proposed the installation of artificial habitat in the shallows and elsewhere to provide more places for the lake’s baitfish and panfish to shelter and feed.
“We used various types of products made by MossBack,” said fisheries biologist and MLF-FMD Director Steven Bardin. “Some are designed to mimic a sunken Christmas tree and others resemble a natural tree root wad,” he said. “Both are fairly dense and meant to provide shelter for forage species.”
The third type, called conservation cubes, serve as fish attractors and are designed to enhance the angling experience of fishermen targeting the lake’s crappies, bluegills, largemouth bass and channel catfish, he added.
“Duck River is a good fishery today,” said Cullman Mayor Woody Jacobs, “and the fish habitat being provided as a result of this new partnership will transform a good fishing lake into a great fishing experience for those who come here.”
“I want to thank MLF, Mercury Marine, MossBack Fish Habitat and the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance for working with the city, as well as Lowe’s Home Improvement for providing the cinder blocks that secure the habitats in place,” Jacobs added. “Our focus is on providing drinking water, and it is nice to have expert fishermen, biologists, fish habitat specialists and installers who are knowledgeable about improving fishing while also protecting water quality. That is a win for all of us.”
According to Bart Maddox, Iron Workers Local 92 business manager/financial secretary-treasurer who has organized volunteers for four USA Work Boots on the Ground conservation projects to date, many Local 92 members are avid anglers and live in or around Cullman.
“Projects like this help show the public that union members are everyday people within the community,” Maddox said. “We believe in working good jobs with good wages and benefits—that’s our hope for every American—and we also believe in serving our communities and giving people the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.” unionsportsmen.org.An apprentice who learns the trade from the master in the workplace. This classic arrangement has made a comeback in our modern society. That is fortunate, since at INNO we know how effective it is. In on-the-job training, our experienced professionals provide talented newcomers with effective supervision. New employees can thereby develop themselves without having to go back to school.
If a new machine or technology is introduced, one or more employees may need to receive additional instructions and training by means of a short internal course.
There are many opportunities for INNO employees to follow an external study program. This program could be a one-day course, but could also be a full MBO (intermediate vocational education) or HBO (higher vocational education) study program. The initiative can be taken by either the company or the employee. Whatever the case, INNO wants the education level of its employees to continually match the innovations on the mechatronic market.Natalie Eilbert reads from her poem “Liquid Waste” for Real Pants, a literary community website cofounded by Adam Robinson and Amy McDaniel.
