Say any of ya local guys got an adjustable track bar laying around? I'm waiting on Gary's Wreckin in Maple Ridge to see what they got laying around.

Howdy, bit shy of an hour east but close enough.

2 major and cheap ass solutions were not mentioned. Is the rear leaf pack shimmed and is the transfer case dropped?

Spray penetrating oil all over the bolt and in between the gaps where the leaf spring rest. Leave it for a day to seep in where it can. Get a breaker bar and a good steel toe boot on and start kicking it (Smashing it with a wooden block also works great.) an the bolt will start to extract. Do...

I have XJ an S10's. Your 86 XJ has an A904 and the S10 700R4, they are compatible. As stated linkage and driveshaft length and angle will be issues but you'll have to measure and work with it. What model S10 is your donor? Cab and box? Those will make the length differences and cross member...

I just installed a 53111 3.5" Pro Comp leaf spring pack in my 92 XJ Laredo. 3" lift shocks all around and 3" coil springs up front, 1" transfer case drop. I did have a hell of a clunk when I hit a large bump but discovered the culprit. The bolt on the spring pack, it sticks out past the...
