4.88's and 33's on the street is awesome. On the hwy, its very debatable. It all boils down to how much highway driving you do, and at what speed. I loved driving my cherokee everyday with 80% city, and 20% hwy driving. I could set the cruise at 75mph and have a realistic average of 15 mpg...

I've got a brand new in the box powertrax no slip locker for a ford 8.8 open diff with a 7/8 cross shaft. I got a good deal on it, planned on putting it in the jeep, but now I want to go with an adjustable locker instead. These run right between $480-$500 with shipping. PM me with any...

Family friend or not, you got hosed. After reading this whole thread, it sounds like you've got better friends on this forum than you do at home. I do alot of work for friends on their vehicles to help them out. Never never never would I ever do more than $100 worth of work without talking to...

You can find them on ebay all day long. It may not be as cost effective as other methods, but I already had it. The cooling system works great, no overheating or overcooling problems. I tried a hiflow t-stat w/ a hiflow waterneck, didnt like it. I went back to a factory 195 t-stat with a...

I used a 13 row superduty trans cooler designed for a v10. Fits perfect on a 97-01, not sure about earlier models. If you look for one, just rember: 99-03 7.3 diesel has a 9 row (good fit and easy to find) v10 models have a 13 row (which fits perfect) 03-07 6.0 has a 31 row (way too big, perfect...

double post.

I wish the whole package was only $160. Look closer, its over $300 for everything.

You'll have good luck if you look for a v6 model.

Just came across this thread. In the front I'm running t&j's shock mount with 12" fox's valved at 60/50 with super soft rusty's coils. In the rear I'm running the cross enterprises hoop with 10" fox's. Its a little difficult to find a good balance in shock valving for street driving, rock...

I love the no-slip in my 8.8. I hardly even notice it on the street. If you're on a tight budget I'd go for the aussie.

I couldn't find one on fox's site. I just scanned one that was in a valve kit and have it saved on the computer. http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/Fox-Shock-Valve-Kit-p-825.html

Very true on the shim stacks.

fixed it for ya :D

Out of curiosity I'd like to see an open carrier w/ a lunch box locker on that machine. It would show you how much stronger any full case carrier is over a stock carrier. It might convince a few people that a zip locker is strong enough to run in a dana 30 with 33's or even 35's. After...

Oh crap, not xjgay. Do a little more research on xjguy and you'll learn what a fraud douche he is. If you need a cage kit, look at t&j or d&c for a good start. http://www.dandcextreme.com/product_template.asp?pkID=126...
