I fit a 35" Dunlop mud rover tire flat in the cargo area with the rear seat up and locked in place. Sure it is a tight fit but it keeps the hatch from rattling. It is bolted to the floor via 3 legs and the C02 bottle rack and would keep the tire in place during a roll over or crash. It keeps...

If the accident was hard enough to break the knuckle, then most likley it did some damage to the inner "C". Even though you may not see it. I know this from my axle. My inner "C" was bent upward and it wasn't found until the axle had the gears installed. That really sucked...

I made a sled out of it last year, man was that a blast. The kids tried it once and they wouldn't get on it again. This year I am going to try some 1/4" on the bottom of the Toboggan. Ok back on the subject here is a link to the material I used for the sled and should work well for your...

I replaced the following parts: Front output seal Chain Mode and range shift fork pads New oil pump pickup screen (mine was shot) I figured that I should do it when I had the case apart. ________________________________________________________________ www.pa-wheeling.com

UHMW comes is so many flavors it would be hard to choose which one? Would you choose a poly that can slide, regidity, or would you go with one that has 1/8th" expended metal embeded iin it? I plan on using some of the UHMW with 1/8th" expanded metal in it for a belly skid. The draw back is...

I feel your pain. I did mine about 1 month ago and ran into the same problem. Mine was caused by multiple problems and my being stupid at the time. 1. Order some new Mode fork pads and shift fork pads from the stealership. If these are a bit warn it will cause the Mode fork to twist and...

Yea in they are a buggar concerning bumper height laws, I had a real problem with mine passing and I only have an RE5.5" lift and 35's. In Pa. we are registered as station Wagons and are only allowed to be 22" off the pavement to the mounting point, I am at 29.5 front and rear. Of course it...

I didn't know if this modified tech or not. Just don't shoot me. Ahh what the hell I might need shot after contemplating this complete swap. My 90XJ just spit a Harmonic Balancer and it took out the Timing Chain Cover, so my wife says buy a newer one and swap the parts over. :spin1: The...

I fit a 35" tire flat on the floor behind the rear seat with the rear seat being usable and locked in place. I lined the floor of the cargo area with Quicksilver (type of plastic) makes the tire slide out like it was on grease and then built a shelf over the tire so I have a nice flat area...

I can't say anthing about skid row, but I have the RE DB and a rustys engine skid (ok got it for a deal) I had to modify the hoop over the front drive shaft to clear the upper control arm bracket. Just a little grinding. The rustys and skid row front hoop look a like, so you may run into the...

It might be that the wheel cylindar is just locked up and thus not putting as much pressure on the shoes as it should be. How does the peddle feel (i.e firm, hard, soft) But it could be other problems. Air getting into the line from loose fittings or pin holes in the line Vacuum line not...

I think I used a 9/16" wrench. It was a pita but I finally got it out. I did get another one from a junk yard so I wouldn't have to do that again.

My favorite yard just making you pay 2 bucks just to get in, and the lady at the gate now charges you off of a price list. Before you could get a 5 gal bucket of parts for 10 to 15 bucks, providing that you paid cash just before lunch time to the greasest guy you could find. And why do people...

I reused my cross shaft. In the instructions is said if you can't scratch it with a file then you have a hardened shaft. If I did scratch it I think I would have gotten one though. Of course mine is an after market gears and deferential case less than a year old...

I pluged both holes with no ill effects. My new manifold came with the plug and I just got a plug for the manifold. Now here in my part of Pa. we really don't have emissions testing so I don't know how plugging the holes would do with a sniffer test...
