I have an 05 Liberty Renegade, 4x4, 6spd, 3.7, ChryCo 8.25...., 1 previous owner was a non-wheeler, and the LSD has severely chipped spider gears. Spider gears are unavailable to R&R, so no easy fix. Can't even find a takeout carrier on Fleabay to steal them from. Can't swing a full R&P job at...

Glove box stickers, build sheets a D such are long gone.. While doing maintenance on the diff found the magnet holding big chips of spider gears. Ring and pinion are good. 3.55 ratio. The wheels do not appear to rotate in opposite directions appreciably.. . Ie, the little bit they do, is maybe...

Folks- Quick question- I am building a tranny crossmember for my S10. It's 2X6X0.250 rectangular steel tubing, going to go right across the bottom of the frame rails (it just happens to work for my build- need to drop the tranny tailshaft about an inch). I want to be able to still get the...

Title says most of it- Wife's 94 has a hard time starting under 40 degrees F. It won't catch, spins over with authority, but it just sputters, backfires, and coughs till it gets a little heat in the engine. My fix for now, is the following: -Turn the switch to run. Wait 10 seconds. (priming...

I am in need of a front bumper for my S10 SAS project. I want something reminiscent of an ARB, but don't have the ability to use CAD, a laser table, or a brake. I thought about maybe doing a skin-on-frame sort of affair, building out the shape of the bumper with 1X1 square tubing. Then come...

I DD the above, and was wondering if there's any interest in seeing what I've done to it? Some highlights: 5.7L V8 FSJ D44 front Isuzu D44 rear Dodge Dakota front springs approx 8" of lift Hydroboost brakes I am working up an Air Over Leaf addition to the suspension as it's VERY soft. It's...

Gents (and the occasional lady)- I am looking for an electric air pump for my son's 97 XJ. He's not running anything crazy like air suspension or air tools, but I'd like to have something that gives at least an option for future hardmount and use to fill a 5 gallon air tank to 100PSI or better...

Way back around 2002, there was a company founded by a couple dot-com boomers that made air suspension systems for the XJ, TJ, etc. I'm not talking about an addon air spring, but an automated, self-leveling, air suspension. To my knowledge, no steel springs in the system at all. I am trying to...

I'm wondering if anyone has used an airbag over leaf spring setup either as a supplement to the springs (enabling a plush ride daily, and a good load support when trailering or hauling) or as the primary spring after removing all but the main leaf? I'm looking to do this for my S truck owing to...

I bought this 90 XJ as a basket case back in 2002. Paid $600 for it, with a hole in the motor. Filthy interior, mudstains on the door panels, and it had "never been wheeled". Yeah, sure... the dude was a liar, to say the least. Swapped in a junkyard pull motor ($300) and drove it to work for a...

Title says most of it... I need a Johnny joint to go where a 1.5" bushing did. Is there such a thing?

Title says most of it. I and my son are replacing the thrashed ujoint on his 97 XJ D30 front axle passenger side shaft. It's been a bear. In so doing we mangled the outer stub flange that lies against the hub bearing (in truth it was mostly rusted to crap before we got it). Is the part...

I have a 97 XJ I'm working on catching up on the maintenance from the DSPO.. In so doing I took the hub bearings out last night- breaking three of the bolts in the process. No huge deal, I cam replace them with 6-point bolts (preferable) that are grade 8 or better (ie, 10.9 for the metric...

I have a 1997 XJ, 4X4, 4.0, AW4, etc. I just "forklifted" the suspension- meaning I replaced every component of it- 4" rear springs, shocks, Upcountry front coils, added ACOS, Iron Rock Offroad trackbar, 31" tires, etc. The vehicle is fine to drive up to 45MPH. After that, I either have a bad...

I spent the better part of a week and a half doing this, between a 3-day weekend over Veteran's Day, a day of leave the following Monday, and working by headlight after work each night. I'd starve as a mechanic! It's a 97 4.0, AW4 (I think) transmission. It was bone stock when we started, and...

Folks- Vehicle is my son's 97. While replacing the steering box I was dumb enough to turn the wheel. In doing so the clock spring was destroyed. Now Cruise and horn do not work. I looked up the part for replacement and all I can find is a non-cruise equipped part. Anyone know where I might...

Folks, I have a solution for a problem I've recently encountered, and am sure am not the first to have.. I went to R&R the NSS, when doing so I found the bolt that holds it to the tranny sheered off. Much cussing and gnashing of teeth ensued. If you are super lucky you can get it out- but...

I have a question for the collective mind... Mirror to glass. Easy, right? Buy a kit, follow the instructions, bam. Except, no. I follow the directions implicitly- I've tried every product for the purpose at Oreilly/Autozone/Advance. None of them work for more than a week. The glass is...

Folks- I keep seeing a chopped XJ in Charleston, SC. I hope maybe they're on this list- if so, please reply, would love to meet up and get some ideas as I'm considering doing the same to my 90.

Folks- It's a 97 SE, 4.0, AW4. I'm driving to work today, and without any reason whatsoever, as I was about to make the turn into the last leg into our industrial park, the truck just shut off. Luckily I was able to avoid getting t-boned by crossing traffic. Attempt to restart resulted in...
