RE Hack&Tap install anyone?

[Darky]

Its been a month that my Jeep hasn't been wheelable, or really streetable unless necessary. Anyone have the know-how/space to do this? My buddy has been busier with his shop than I'd hoped (at least for my XJ's sake, good for him though ;)). I can't guarantee being able to provide food necessarily as we're between paychecks (weekly paycheck at last job, twice monthly new job) and trying to buy a house.

TIA

It's pretty easy, actually. I did mine a month or so ago and it turned out pretty well. I basically just followed Go-jeep's instructions at http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoSYEconversion.htm and used the RE flange rather than the U-joint piece that he uses. Since your XJ is a '96 like mine, it should be really easy and not at all messy. I'd offer the use of my garage, but my lousy old garage door is sagging so badly that my 3" lifted XJ can barely fit inside, I'm sure yours would hit.
