We used a TW shaft with my brother's Hack and Tap no problem.

We bought an engine out of a YJ to put in my dad's CJ about 3 years ago. It had been sitting on the floor of a garage and the guy new it ran when pulled. We took it home and put new gaskets (valve cover, timing, oil pan, etc.) and new front and rear seals. We bolted it in, primed the...

The Cooper version of the MasterCraft Courser C/T is the Cooper Discoverer S/T. I've ran both of them and couldn't tell a difference except the Coopers are about $75 more per set. They are my favorite all terrain tires. I got 50,000 miles out of the Cooper S/Ts on my 99 Sonoma 4x4. When I...

I had the same thing happen on a 99 GMC Sonoma 4x4 I had. I changed the hub assembly and got a popping when I would steer. I took it apart and put it back together a couple times to no avail. I exchanged the new hub assembly for another one and put it on. When I put on the second new one...

My family has bought Cooper and Mastercraft tires from a little mom and pop store where I live for as long as I can remember. Thats basically the only tire I've ever driven on. I got bit by the bug and put some BFG A/Ts on a 1999 Sonoma 4x4 I had, but went back to my old favorite (Cooper...

When we did my bro's lift we just unbolted the shackle from the body/frame at the top bolt and pulled the springpack with the shackle bolted to it. We swapped the shackle to the new springs and bolted it back to the body/frame. Thats alot easier than removing the hitch.

When we installed my brothers 3.5" RE lift we also installed an SYE. Just for fun we gave it a spin with a tcase drop and shims and it vibrated like mad. The u-joint angles were so bad the yokes were just a hair from smacking each other when the shaft rotated. I've heard others that get...

The Silverado springs are 63.5" from eye to eye and 2.5" wide. I saw a couple people ask so I went out to the garage and measured the ones on my truck.

After installing my brother's lift I'd have to say that my favorite tool was my 3 ft John Deere breaker bar and a 2ft pipe that my dad has had for like 25 years. Without them we would have been at a standstill. Those leaf spring bolts were TIIIIIIGHT!

The factory ones are mounted behind the holes. The safest way to wire them to the headlights would be with a relay that senses when the low beams are on. I'd get a relay that was about 30amps. The relay willa have 4 prongs on it that are marked 86, 85, 30, and 87. Prong 85 would be...

I just got a metal cut-off wheel for a 4.5" hand grinder and did as the others said. I let the shaft spin and held the grinder to it lightly. It took a few minutes, but it made a nice clean cut. I cut it about 1/16 of an inch longer than needed and then attatched a hose clamp to mark the 1...

We just installed my brother's RE 3.5 on his 1998. It has some vibes while accelerating around 35-45. Will it hurt for him to drive it for 2 days until his cv shaft and SYE get here? He'll put about 60 miles on it driving back and forth to work all in town and back roads....nothing over...

Whoa!! I get on here to check my thread and the guy I'm ordering from has posted in it. It took me a few seconds, but I just noticed the link in Jeepin Jason's sig. I just got off the phone with Jeepin Outfitters asking a couple questions about the lift and was ready to place the order...

He's already got a set of 31's

My brother and I are getting ready to order his lift and want to see what we may be missing. He's already got wheels and tires and the "shopping cart" has the RE 3.5 Superride w/new leafs, an adjustable track bar, OME shocks, Hack and Tap, and CV driveshaft. Will he need a tcase drop or any...
