There are a variety of options:
later model 8.25
Cherokee D44
Isuzu D44 (requires different wheels and some fabbing like the 8.8)
Ford 8.8 (later model Explorer, requires fabbing)
Corporate 12 bolt (also requires fabbing and new wheels)
Ford 9 (fabbing, again, possible wheel change)
Dana 60 (if...
Similar experience as far as crappy brakes here.
Used Duralast brand brakes on my 8.8, and they constantly squealed and whined, and the performance was mediocre at best. I took them back and replaced them with Wagner Thermoquiets...you could see a definite manufacturing difference. The...
Welcome to NAXJA Eric! Good to see another Texan join the forum. I had to look up where Sherman was...I had heard of it, just didn't know the location. I was going to suggest San Antonio, but damn, Arkansas is closer! I'll keep my eyes open for you, I'm in Lubbock. Good luck, and enjoy the XJ.
Victoria, TX.
Also, I'm not down there at the moment, it's at my parent's house. So, the delivery range would be about as far as I can convince my dad to drive it (which probably isn't too far).
Let me know.
Would be willing to trade for:
Front skid
Sway bar disconnects
Front lower or upper...
Even though most of you guys have HP D30's, figured I would give this a shot.
I have a low pinion Dana 30 front axle for sale out of a 2001 Jeep Cherokee. It has 68k miles on it and 3.55 gears. It works perfectly and is complete except for brakes/rotors. I swapped it out for another Dana 30...
Go with the 8.25 for now.
I have an 8.8 with 31's (yes, I said 31's) and I could dig nice trenches all day. Not worth it unless you have 35+ tires or some shaving skills.
Now on my list of things to do:
Buy 4.10's for front 30
Replace stock roof rack crossbars for gutter mounts (squeaky factory)
The Autopals
Hatch struts
Replace Sony headunit with something a little dimmer
buy BPE's
Jeez Jeeps are easy to blow money on...
I got a Amazon giftcard for Christmas and decided that I needed to upgrade my headlights. I ordered an eAutoworks harness to go with my Silverstar sealed beams.
The harness itself is rather cheap looking, much like everyone that has ordered one has noticed. I ran the wiring behind the grille...
Yeah, something is up here. I run a 2001 60th Anniversary auto with 31's and 4.10's. I had 3.55's earlier, and even with those I got 19 highway. You need to check your plugs and make sure that everything is working properly with your engine and fuel system. Maybe that Edge is improperly...
Aww man, so I guess I better swap out my 8.8 for a D35 since I have 31's. But in all honesty, it is a bit overkill, but it was cheaper for me to buy an 8.8 with 4.10's than it was to regear. The clearance (or lack there-of) is noticeable though lol
Oh, and another perk about the 8.8...there...
I am looking for either a LP or HP complete D30 with 4.10 gearing. This axle must be close to either Lubbock, TX. or Victoria, TX. (so San Antonio is workable).
OR
A set of lightly used LP D30 4.10 gears with carrier would work great too
lemme know!
