You can do 5x4.5 on a Waggy front? I'd be interested in hearing this.

Worked like a champ. Thanks a bunch.:cheers: Took longer to get the hatch latch readjusted. Got the keyless entry switched over so hopefully I can avoid this in the future. Thanks for all the replies.

Power locks. I don't pay for triple A, but I may have something similar through my insurance. I'm 30 mi from town and about 100 from a Jeep dealership, if I were to have a new key cut. Would Chrysler dealerships be the only ones that could cut a key off the VIN, or can GM and Ford do that too?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. '97

So I bought a different Jeep to replace the one I wrecked. I was swapping over the keyless entry module so I could use the old remote I had since the new Jeep didn't have any remotes. I tested the module and was taking it back in the house to finish assembling the console when I realized I...

Who else makes/would make bent lowers like the PP kit?

Slugs replace the selectable lockouts and give you full time 4WD, they're stronger. EDIT - whitexj98 beat me. If you know you'll not go above a certain tire size then a 44 may work, but if you have plans of getting a bigger and bigger tire then the a 60 is probably what you want to do. You...

That will work fine. That is what I used before I swapped rear axles.

Split the difference. Install 44's and run 4.27/4.30 gears.

I looked into this briefly and I think what you need is the tail housing from a Toyota transmission along with the rest of the stuff you mentioned. I don't think anyone makes that adapter. When I looked at it, I think cutting up a 231 is cheaper. Here is a bunch of info I hadn't seen before...

What is the length of the outers? You may be able to use them with regular parts if you're lucky.

Wouldn't the Warn spindle be set up to bolt to an XJ knuckle, three bolts, and the CJ spindle be five bolts? I think you'd have to re-drill something, and I'd be a little wary of doing anything that could get off center, like the spindle in the knuckle. I'd probably sell the Warn conversion...

This is all I have at the moment.

I used the Ballistic brackets and the RE truss and upper mount. Total was about $250. Took some modifying and still had to make a track bar mount cause I went with crossover steering. Just depends how much cutting and grinding you want to do.

Except the alignment is still done at the frame end so you don't have to mess with the cam bolts.

I've got crossover steering, just on a Waggy 44, and it fits with a 15" steel wheel with 4" of BS

I bet that made setting up the gears more of a PITA. I used a dremel with the drum sander too.

This is going to vary on quite a few things and how much work you want to do. If you cut and turn the knuckles you can get everything dialed in where you want it. If you don't then you are going to have to make a compromise. IIRC there was 6 degrees of difference in my Waggy housing, ie pinion...

I used the old bearings out of my 44 as setup bearings. I read later that you shouldn't do that due to them being worn. I haven't noticed any whine or excess heat so everything seems fine to me.

I didn't have a press. To get my bearings on I put the carrier or the pinion gear in the freezer and heated the bearings up in oil on the stove. Slid right on for me. I made setup bearings to pull on and off before final assembly. I used a beam style torque wrench for pinion preload. Cheaper...
