At this point, my only option is which ever is the least expensive. :/ As I see it so far... Keeping crossover: New sway brackets New track bar mount New track bar Welding + transport of axle to whoever is doing the welding Going back to OE Junkyard ZJ drag link assembly ($12.50, bought...

^ Ayyyyy it's all thanks to this guy! :worship:

For your viewing pleasure...I've been searching a ton, and can't seem to find a definitive answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez4n4ZthVDo Long story short...I will be replacing the front axle assy with one that still has all the OE brackets on it. It *looks* like the PO chopped off the...

Made a major score today! Found a 29sp C8.25 for $25!!! :shocked: Just finished installing it with a very generous NAXJA guy who came over to help. Test drive successful! :yap:

You're 100% fine. Just go slow. However, you'd be better off with a tow dolly and the 914 facing backwards, or the trans disconnected facing forward. Dollies are ~1000 lbs lighter. My last XJ towed 3k all the time. Last couple years, I've been towing the same trailer/car combo with a Volvo XC70...

I think we've met in the past, maybe a PSR event. I'm on PV.com but it's been a while. Nice to see your name again! :) Can't remember too many ppl from the gang...I remember vehicles more. haha. - Old timer in a white Tacoma... - RubiBlue (?), in a blue Rubi of course... - Chris...works at...

That tank swap has got me thinking, for sure! *I have VERY little Jeep experience!!!* That said, I have changed around fuel pumps on various cars, and unless they are heavily modified (triple the stock horsepower), you can pretty much change fuel pump part numbers, fuel pump styles, fuel pump...

Hey all! Been a long time since I've owned an XJ...I just picked one up that some of you may recognize that was for sale on CL and Facebook recently (located in Lakewood, WA). Just thought I'd say hello and let you guys know what the plans are for the "build." Our new XJ: '95 4.0L, 5 spd...

Well, my last one was an auto with the stock 3.55's and 33's...the only time it felt a little weak was above 7000 feet. I figure the manual with 3.55's and 33's should feel a little bit better (it's a factory equivalent ratio, same as a stock setup)...and maybe next year I can go to 4.10's. I...

Thanks! A '93 4.0 auto came in a few days ago at the 1 yard that's close to me. It should have usable front and rear axles @ 3.55, and the rear should be an 8.25 so that's good. I'll use those for the time being, and it's 50% off this weekend. I want more gear than that, but it will work for...

Found this, that helped a bit... http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/radius-arm-vs-standard-uppers-1160839/ As for the D35...half the people I read about are on 27 spline C8.25's anyway. If the only difference at that point is the axle tubes, I shouldn't have anything to worry about. :) Thanks...

TY...I'll have to do some research! As for the radius arms...I didn't even notice. Car drives OK, I drove it home with the broken rear shaft. Is this something I NEED to replace? Can it wait? Can it stay the way it is?

Oh shit. So what's missing?! Also, there seems to be a lot of debate as to what's stronger, and how significant the difference in strength would be between a stock 8.25 vs D35 with CrMo axles and a truss. I tend to think that the CrMo 27 spline would be stronger than the 29 spline in the...

Hey everyone! :sunshine: We just picked up an XJ for what I feel was a pretty good price! But, we are trying to get it "trail worthy" with a set dollar amount in mind, and I have a few choices to make. Perhaps you all could lend some advice? Our new XJ: '95 4.0L, 5 spd, 220k...starts, runs...
