i'm selling my Comanche crawler. i would like to get started on building my FJ-40, but i need this gone so i have room in the garage for the Yota. Specs: *'90 Jeep Comanche *AW4 auto with one of BrettM's shifters (the dial kind) *dana 300 with twin-sticks *GM dana 44 front, 5.38s Lock-Right...

ok, isee what you're saying. but it would just be cool to have dual yota cases :D. i guess a 4:1 kit and maybe 5.89's will just have to do. thanks.

thanks for the link. so all i need is the yota tailhousing and output shafts??? hmmmm. i might not need to go to the extreme and put duals in there, but just a yota case and 4.7's ought to be enough. plus ALOT cheaper than an atlas or stak. that's just great. has anyone done this yet???

no engine swaps, i don't want THAT much down-time for my rig. it's a '90 MJ. stock 4.0, AW4, Dana 300, GM 44 front, GM 12 bolt rear, 5.38s, 37's blah blah blah. i like the 4.0 and the auto so i'd like to keep them. i will be using a dana 60 front, and most likely a 14bFF rear and 5.13's/5.38's...

i have the stock Sanden air compressor on my MJ and my OBA setup works perfectly. just go to the junkyard and find your self an A/C compressor, bracket, and get a new belt. once you do that, it's easy.

i have a dana 300 behind the AW4 in my manche, but even if i install a 4:1 kit in it, it still won't be enough for 42's. i need lower gearing. i hear the AW4 is the same tranny in automatic toyota mini trucks??? if so, is there any way i can slap in some yota dual cases??? is there any other...

i'm only 10 miles from the Moon Rocks so i just had to go ;) i was there most of sunday and only saw one or two XJs. anyone from here??? one was near-stock and well beat. the other was an older model on, what looked like, 35's??? here are some pics i took. (this is my pops driving, not...

here's mine. '90 Manche---originally Davidt's ride, but i took it over ;) full-width dana 44 front and 12 bolt rear. 5.38's, lock-wrong in front, welded rear, BTF diff covers. 37" MTRs on 17" steelies, AW4 w/ BrettM shifter, dana 300, LOTS of trail damage, and a fugly tube flat bed---but hey...

are the pins and springs installed correctly???

damn you're dumb. dude, like said before, DO MORE REASEARCH!!! you're looking at probably $200 PER AXLE if you include the install kits. and that's not including labor. IMO, buying used gears/lockers/etc. is just begging for trouble.

check BrettM's kits. i have one of his first kits in my Manche. works great. AWShifting.com

nissan4wheelers.com 4x4parts.com (look in the forum) Calmini.com

the calmini kit uses a Wagoneer Dana 44 from an 80-85??? with out the vacuum-disconnect. the Calmii kit is the only one out there so it's expensive and it's only for the front. they offer springs and shackles for the rear at an additional cost. the kit uses radius arms and is setup to use...

fj-40's have the tank under the passenger seat inside the vehicle.......why can't you put one inside an XJ??? i see nothing wrong with it, so long as there are no leaks. if you put a fuel cell inside you can either just open the rear hatch to fill it up, or mount a filler through one of the...

i thought i'd spend a little $$$ at Wal-Mart today. i got 6 lights for $45. i know they're cheap and crappy, but hey, they work (and not too bad, if i might add). i put two on the front bumper facing towards each of the front tires. i have two right behind the cab bolted to the side of the...
