I got the 35's mounted on some stocker wheels I have had in the basement for 12 years. I have wheel spacers, but even so, these wheels don't stick out very far at all. It looks like they would rub badly in this pic, but they don't rub where you would think. They actually tuck pretty nicely...

I'm changing the bushings on my RE Super Ride Control Arms. I got the lowers done, but the uppers are giving me grief. I can get the bolt to spin, but I think the bolt is corroded to the sleeve or something. I have hammered on it and used a c_clamp like a press to try and press ut out with no...

Detroit locker for 27 spline Chrysler 8.25 rear end. Great shape. Located in Chatt. $300 shipped or local pick up for $250. This is the full Detroit... not the EZ locker

A buddy of mine picked up 2 sets of spare front axles for me at a pull apart thinking they were a good price and that I may need them someday. They were complete with the unit hub and all. The other day I needed to change a hub, so I was just going to pop in a whole axle assembly. I got mine...

My 2 year old RE 5" suspension is showing lots of wear. The control arm bushings at the unibody are all 4 worn out. Mine are non adjustable with the plain rubber bushings at that end. My axle actually moves back and forth 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Does that seem like premature wear for a rig that 4...

My A/C compressor was making my belt squeal when I would turn it on. Then I parked it for 3 months for some work. When I got back in to start driving it again, the A/C compressor would not kick on. To compound the problem, the Aux fan never kicked on and I overhearted on the trail. I can...

This is a wrap up post to the Double Disc Brake Conversion Post. Hopefully someone searching in the future will find this useful. I swapped in an XJ Dana 44 in place of mt 8.25 rear that already had the ZJ Brakes on it from a previous conversion. The goal was to keep the rear discs without...

Just parted out my 8.25 (27 spline) because I am switching to a D44. I have a Detroit Locker in very good shape, ready to go in. I can send pictures upon request. $450 for the locker shipped or $400 if you pick up. It has a 4.10 ring gear bolted to it. I can sell the ring gear and pinion for...

I have disc brakes on my rear 8.25 in my 93 from a grand cherokee. The caliper brakets were made to bolt on. Now I'm putting on a recently aquired stock XJ D44. Does anyone know if the caliper brackets will bolt on to the D44 the same way? (Are all the bolts and mounting points the same on...

These were new trails for me. Lots of quick elevation change, hense lots of throttle. I like this pic because the front of the Jeep is pretty light looking. I had just bounced over a ledge... pedal matted 1st gear... with a little rev limiter action, all on loose dirt. Fun stuff.

In case you all have not received word, the new order for Tellico has been signed by the Forest Supervisor, effective January 30, 2007. "We will be implementing the seasonal trail closures on Lower Trail 2, Trail 7, Trail 9, and Trail 10 as soon as possible. We will also be installing the...

Since Chattanooga is the self proclaimed XJ capital of the south... and we are trying to organize some rides and stuff, I thought it might pay off to have a photo thread where those around the Chattanooga Area post pics of their rigs. Maybe this will help put some names (NAXJA IDs) with some...

I have the 9000lb. Yesterday while using the winch, the cable retention bolt sheared off and the drum spun freely under the cable. I was not in a precarious situation, but if that had happened going up something steep, it could have been scary. I used to think these were a deal... but not so...

I worked out several issues over the last couple of weeks. Maybe someone can benefit from this if they search... especially since every day there seems to be a thread about a clunking front end. So I had this clunk in my front end... I figured it was the track bar. I stitch welded the mount...

That should read spacer... but oh well. I was so jazzed about reading how things like Walmart cutting boards are being used for making coil spacers, I wanted to try it myself and save a few bucks. I was unable to find a cutting board thick enough to give me the boost I wanted so I wnt on a...

I found a great thread on repairing the wallowed out axle mount for the track bar. Some of the suggestions were "weld the holes and re-drill", "weld in plates and drill", and make a whole new mount. I'm interested in the last option as I have already plated mine once. For those who have...

If any of you have made your own T-Case skid, what was your design like? Pictures would be cool, but description would be helpful too. I'm the most curious about how you mounted it, and the materials you have used. Thanks

Took the XJ up to Tellico yesterday with the intentions of running some of the hard trails. The place was almost empty and extremely dry. It was a great day there. Went up slickrock with no hangups. Our group mostly even climbed the ledge at the top. The group behind us had more highly...

Rushing gets you nowhere. I got my new aftermarket radiator and had no time before a trailride to install it. I squeezed it in to a buzy evening a night or two before the ride, when I didn't really have enough time. I ended up cross theading the stinkin' tranny line fitting into the radiator...

There are many posts on radiators that date way back. The big question is "what is the best one". Well it's summer and now I'm looking for the best one. The problem is, a lot has changed with radiators in the last year or so. From what I have read, someone bought out GDI and they are cheapo...
