La Push is cod & windy, all the time. As fare as I know you are NOT allowed to camp on the beach. Most of that area is Tribal land and therefore under different rules. There are several campgrounds in the area that I've seen and also heard about, but never camped up there. There is NOTHING to do...

Ft. Stevens State Park in Astoria has an awesome beach that we frequent. I know it's not WA, but it's probably the same distance for you.

Fat Smitty's in Discovery Bay (Pt. Townsend) off the 101. Huge burgers & cash only. I also like the Loft Burger at The Loft, Poulsbo, WA.

33's on stock gears blows! I'm planning on going to 4.56 on mine, with the AW4. I've chosen the 4.56s mostly because I'm swapping in a Toyota 8.4 & ive got a line on 3rd members that came stock with 4.56s. I'm gonna pull the front driveline & see how I like the setup before dropping money to...

Email... I'll call tomorrow. Who should I ask for? Thanks, Nick

Just Diffs, I sent you guys an email about getting a quote on the regear. I know where you guys are located. I've talked with you before about regearing my DD Yota. I never got a reply about my Jeep. What gives :helpme:

I'm looking for a reputable & affordable place to have my XJ regeared. Anyone have any recommendations in the Seattle area & what did you pay? I live close to Northridge 4X4 in the Bremerton/Silverdale area & I got a quote from them. Just trying to compare prices. I don't know of anyone that's...

dukie - I appreciate your comments. I would rather spend the money on the proper spacers than switch out the wheels. I waited for months for a set of these wheels to show up for sale. I'm already running a pair of Spidertax up front. I will get a pair for the rear in the near future. I still...

If i run 2" wheel spacers in the rear, am I in danger of shearing or breaking anything? Here's the deal... The wheel & tire setup i'm running gives me less than 1/16" of clearance between the rear leafs & the tire. I bought a cheap set of 1/4" spacers for like $8, but it still rubs under flex...

Joe - I just did a full coolant flush about 5 months ago. I'm pretty sure the cap is in good working condition. If I crack it loose, I get the gulp in the overflow tank. I will check the hose clamps, but i'm pretty sure all are tight. I'm not getting a single drop green stuff anywhere. Also, I...

Hey Guys, I have a question about my temp. gauge. When starting from cold, as it warms up while driving, it slowly works its way up towards the 195 mark, then it will keep climbing up to about 220 - 225 for only a few seconds, then it suddenly drops way back down to about 130 until it reaches...

You think it's the upper control arms? The Rusty's arms are less than 6 months old. They were brand new when installed. The kit only came with lower arms. I haven't thought to check the uppers because I didn't touch them. I will have to check that this weekend. Is there any aftermarket bushings...

I've got a 91 XJ, 4.0, Auto. Installed is a Rusty's 4.5" short arm kit (with track bar), Rusty's steering stabalizer, spidertrax spacers & IRO Long SS brake lines, everything else is stock. I've been under the Jeep, checked & rechecked everything making sure all new parts are all torqued up. No...

I've found a 8.25 out of a '94 XJ non-ABS so i'm assuming it's a 27 spline, 3.55 gears. Can this axle be upgraded to 29 or larger spline to accomodate a locker on 33's? I'm fairly new to the XJ's & i'm just doing my homework to make sure I don't end up buying a giant piece of scrap metal. I'm...

I thought the common 8.8 ratio was 3.73 and the not so common 4.10? The 8.8 has disc brakes. What does it take to convert? Also, what kind of fab does the 8.8 require to mount up to the rear springs?
