I had that happen once right after I first lifted it, but I thought I had the problem fixed. The reason it did it the first time was because the passenger side tie rod end hit the swaybar link during droop. I raised the swaybar links up a little over an inch and hadn't had that problem since...

Ok here are some pictures, they are definately not the best pictures but at least you can see what it looks like. Pictures One thing I forgot, I have a set (4) of tire chains to fit the 33s. They have never been used, I put one on to make sure they fit but that's it, never did make it to the...

I'm getting ready to move to FL so I have to sell the XJ:tears: I'm asking $4500, if I get that price everything will be included, price is negotiable if you don't want some of the stuff. I won't however; part the thing out. 90 4door XJ Laredo 197,000 Miles Remanufactured engine installed at...

I sighted some stuff in the junk yards today that someone might want. In the south yard (1232 Blinn Ave, Wilmington) I spotted one complete D44 and an V8 ZJ steering setup. The ZJ also has 4wheel disc but someone already stripped the rear axle of everything except the brackets. In the North...

Ok, I'll show mine too... Steel frame, wood inserts covered in carpet. (bad picture) Full extension slides (I think 150Lb rating...?) The lid keeps stuff in place while bouncing down the trail (I had visions of tools bouncing into position that would keep me from opening the drawers)...

Rear Dana 44 out of an 87 XJ, 3.54 gears open diff. Brakes are there but I don't have drums for it. --- $300 Explorer rear disc brake backing plates, with all the parking brake stuff still on them. I also have one rotor with these that will should turn ok. --- $50 I'll take $330 if someone...

I had the exact same issues when I put the Pacesetter header on. To fix the fitting bottoming out I just ground down the top of the fitting on the header. To fix the tube I shortened it by cutting a section out of it so that the two ends met up when installed then welded it back together like...

:doh: Geuss I should have looked a little closer at that picture! for anyone curious this is what a 2.5 TD should look like. Not nearly as clean looking.

I don't know what this is since I've never seen one before but it ain't the normal engines that I'm used to seeing. Thought someone might be interested. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/car/180959607.html

The documentation I've seen shows 18,000 INCH Lbs which equals 1,500 FOOT Lbs. That seems pretty miniscule.

As far as I know all F-150s used 5 on 5.5" but most F-100s used 5 on 4.5", but some (I think they had a higher gross weight suspsension) used the 5 on 5.5". You may want to go measure your wheels rather than trusting a web site. I've seen some catalogs/web sites that were wrong, I even had to...

If it is 8 CFM it will be a 209, the 210s are 10 CFM. Avery, are you sure it is not 10 CFM? Pretty much every one that I have found in the junk yards are 210s. If you've got an impact and a 5/8" bolt you can pop the clutch of in about 30 second to tell for sure. Look at the bottom of this...

I just found this thread through the search... Last night I pulled into a gas station after about 100 miles at 75-80 MPH. As I rolled in I heard a squeeking/squealing sound which sounded much like a dry u-joint but only at low speeds. Anyway I decided to go in search of said noise by feeling...

Sure, anytime.

I've got one in my 8.8, It's only been in there about 6 weeks or so, but it works beautifully so far.
