The first time I trimmed my front fenders, I did a cut and fold like on the rear, and used the folded sheet metal to help pinch the plastic in place. You have to trim the plastic back a little so that the metal can fold onto it instead of around it, but it worked very well. But the next time I...

you need to give us more info, like auto/manual etc...

Yeah 96+ XJ's use the same Np231's as TJ's (with slight differences in the sun gears from transmission to transmission.) Most XJ guys prefer the older style case with no SYE vs. the newer style with no SYE because the older style is less prone to vibes at lifted angles. But the newer style...

Re: Where is all the Florida XJ's? If your in gainesville, you need to check out gator4x4.com. Thats our local club, a lot of good guys and gals.

Wow, a lot of hate for Toyotas in here lol. I actually like Toyotas and would have one for a DD if I could afford it (instead I drive an 07 Kia lol) But as for the original question of what would you wheel if all of the XJ's were gone, the LJ and 4 door JK come to mind, because I love Jeeps...

What exactly do you mean by the rear bearing for the front output? Are you talking about the big ball bearing that fits around the outside of the splined portion of the sun fear and is held to the aluminum case of the transfer case? If so I always remove the inner snap ring, drop out the...

Here is a picture of the terminology i'm talking about http://www.al-jazirah.com.sa/cars/topics/trans_planetary.gif

Let me make sure i've got this straight. I have a sun gear(center/splined for transmission) with, call them long pitched gear teeth. I have planetary gears with both long and short pitch gear teeth, and I have a case/ring gear with short pitched gear teeth. I know that putting the long pitch...

Bummer man. How do they even get that ring gear in there so tight?

I was told I might get a better response in here rather than the modified forum... I'm building an np231 out of three cases. problem is, when I put the planetaries I need into the front case half I need, the outer planetary ring doesn't seem to quite mesh with the inner planetary gears, and...

I'm building an np231 out of three cases. problem is, when I put the planetaries I need into the front case half I need, the outer planetary ring doesn't seem to quite mesh with the inner planetary gears, and i'm afraid the pitch of the planetaries are just a little off. I pulled the outer...

Haha saw this same thread on pirate, didn't think much of it. Then I saw it on jeepforum and had to say something. And yes I know i'm not being helpful. Sorry, carry on.

Yes, Equal powder is the same theory. In fact, so is water, and beach sand, and golf balls and antifreeze etc.The thing with Equal powder (according to the internet) is that your air source must be completely dry. Using water can cause your steel rims to rust. Anti-freeze coolant should not...

The rest of the BB's should be going to opposite ends of the tires. To clarify it lets assume you mount a 33" tire with a 3oz extra imbalance in the tread in one area. With traditional lead wheel weights you put the wheel and tire on a balancing machine and the machine spins it. When the tire...

Re: Where is all the Florida XJ's? There are quite a few of us on FJOA (floridajeepers.net) and various other small clubs throughout the state

I run 2 on each side of my XJ. one set is a little older than the other though and it has started to 'smoosh' out a little more than I would like

Jeeptoberfest is October 17-18. http://www.ocalajeepclub.com/ I've never been but several members in my local club have. they say its a great time every year.

Lake City here (just north of gainesville). We've got a couple places to wheel. Anybody here going to Jeeptoberfest in Ocala Speedway this year?

ha ha ha ha ha!!

Petersen's 4wheel and off-road used Napa PN 11343 when they did the ultimate danger ranger. http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/projectbuild/131_0712_1997_ford_ranger_drivetrain/index.html If that even helps at all.
