Possibly aquiring a Jeep with this high steer kit on it... I need to know what wheels will fit and what won't. Obviously with the high steer knuckle stock wheels won't fit... How about 16" steelies with 4.25" backspacing? Anyone running this setup wanna chime in with what you're running and...

Pulled the radiator off my Comanche to make it easier to track down a power steering leak, and replace the alternator at the same time. I got to thinking about the ZJ fan clutch upgrade that lots of people do with a Napa fan clutch... So I pulled the stock mechanical fan and clutch combo off...

I'm tired of wheeling with nothing but a tin roof over my head, so I'm building a cage in my new project rig. The rig is a '91 2-door Jeep Cherokee Sport. This will be the first cage I've built, and I would like some advice from the experts on my design and methods. The tubing will be either...

Well, the time has come to upgrade a bit. My 4 door '87 XJ (the original "Turtle") is starting to show it's age and mileage in every way, and since I never did any re-inforcing before I started wheeling it hard, the unibody itself is no longer in great shape, with a few cracks around the...

Alright, I did some searching but didn't come up with a definite answer. I need to know what the differences are between a 4wd AX15 and a 2wd AX15. I'm looking at a really good deal on a 2wd '91 Sport model, with a 5-speed AX15. I want to do a "body swap" with '87 4 door 5-speed (Peugeot...

Anyone down to go to Reiter on the 3rd? I'm going to head over that way, trying to gather up some others to run a few trails, probably Sack-up, maybe BYS. If I can get a couple others with capable rigs interested, I would also like to attempt the upper Lake Isabel trail (above the log...

Alright, I'm working on fitting some 36" Iroks under the rear of my cherokee (front is already punched out big enough with no issues). Does anybody have any pics/writeups on what they did with the rear pinch seam on a 4 door to allow some larger meats to stuff in? I'm a little hesitant to...

Alright, this might be kind of a silly question, but what the hell... I recently put RE's extreme duty 4.5" leafs in the rear of my rig... and also have a friend who's running them with some shackles for a bit more lift, and both of our rigs (his more-so than mine) lean to the right...

Alright... here's the deal. I'm working on an '87 XJ that sat for a while with the front brake lines disconnected. I put a new front axle in it... it sat for a while while I acquired parts. The front calipers are new units with no miles on them, and the front soft hoses are new as well. I'm...

Alright, I'm trying to diagnose a little problem my friend is having with his rig so he can be more confident in driving it to Alaska soon. The rig is an 87 Cherokee, 4.0, AW4, has a recently replaced long block (receipts from the previous owner), and seems to run pretty well except for a...

A little info first. '87 XJ, waggy d44's front and rear, RE brackets on the front axle, 5.13's spooled rear lockright front, clayton longarms with 5.5" springs up front and RE 4.5" springs out back (really about 6" right now, ha). Alright... seems like forever my rig has been pulling to the...

Alright, I just put on some RE 4.5" springs in the rear of my rig and I've ended up with about 5.5" of lift out of them. First problem I had was the driveline bound up when I went to move the rig, so I pulled the shaft and ground on the slip yoke as a temp. measure. Put it back together...

Alright, I should probably just call Clayton and ask about it, but it's Sunday and I'm sure they're not open for business, so I figured maybe someone on here knows more about this. I know the transmission crossmember is in a different location on the Peugot BA10/5 equipped jeeps (mine's an...

Alright, looking for some input on a gas tank skid for my brother's Comanche. Anybody know if any factory skids exist that would bolt on, or are there any companies that make aftermarket ones? If it comes down to it, we'll probably build one, but just looking for some options. I'm only...

Alright, I know lockrights are supposed to make some noise, but mine is making A LOT of noise, and is not locking up properly. It worked great all day on Sunday going UP the trail, then coming back down when I did a lot of engine braking, it suddenly started unloading very noisily at random...

Hi all, got a quick question... my brother bought his comanche with a lift already installed (spring over rear, tomken with spacers in front), and it doesn't sit quite level.. the front is lower than the rear. We're trying to take some measurements so we can figure out what coils to put in...

Factory D44 from my '87 XJ. I'm pulling it out this weekend one way or the other. Has 3.07 gears, welded track-loc carrier. Probably needs new brakes, and I'm guessing you'll want to regear it to match your front unless you have a 5-spd XJ or MJ. I want $350 OR trade me a centered rear...

Anybody got some pictures of your wagoneer front axle swap? I'm working on putting one from an 81 into my rig, but I'm a little bit confused on how to mount the coil bucket and control arm mount on the driver's side... reason being that there is a large cast spring pad there and the diff...

Alright, so how do I go about breaking in my front gears once I'm done setting them up? Obviously the 500 miles in short increments (or stop & go) is best, but if I don't have it in 4wd (231 TC on dry pavement = no no), then how do the fronts break in properly... should I be concerned with...

Alright, I'm working on a wagoneer D44 swap for my rig, and I have a spare non-disconnect D30 housing laying around, I'm thinking about cutting the brackets off of this (all except the driver's side UCA mount, since it's cast), and using them for brackets on my waggy D44. I figure since the D44...
