    Running a locker in a disco axle..

    I had been planning on installing a lunchbox locker in my CAD dana 30. I had been thinking that the locker would be invisible when in 2wd because of the disconnect, but after talking with someone, I realized that with the drivers side axle being one piece would cause the carrier to spin because...

    I'm always thinking worst case scenario on mystery noises..

    A month or so ago, I replaced the compressor on my jeep with one off my parts jeep. My original reason for the swap was because my original was leaking oil, and the clutch was starting to be finiky. Well turns out the used compressor I swapped on was leaking oil in the same place, not only...

    Why low pinion in TJ?

    I don't understand why a low pinion front axle is used in the TJ, and a high pinion (better axle) is used in the XJ. Seems like it would be the other way around if anything. Does it have to do with the short wheel base of the TJ, and drive line angles?

    High Idle start epiphany!

    My '87 XJ has only had a high idle start two times.. and I just realized what the common cause was. The first time it did it I had just replaced the vacuum line that runs to the vacuum bottle or whatever. The second time it did it was last night after I had removed the HVAC controls and put them...

    What do you think of my dash?

    When I got my XJ a few years ago I was shocked to see how totally effed the dash was. I have no idea what happened to it.. I think I dog might have chewed it up.. or someone set it on fire. I finally found a crack free tan dash in a parts XJ that I could buy off a guy.. but everyone knows...
