My buddy has an 06 wrangler with the d35 in the rear. Was driving the other day and managed to break his spider gears. Big surprise. It also cracked the carrier where the retaining bolt for the crosspin goes. If we get our hands on the same carrier thats not cracked, do we need to reset anything...

I have a ticking coming from under my XJ. Its a 98 4.0 auto 231. I can only hear it when I am in drive like at a drivethrough, with my foot on the brake stopped. If I put it in neutral, it goes away. Sounds like it must be something in the transmission, any thoughts as to what it could be? The...

I have a 98 XJ 4.0 auto with ~5" of lift. I had a 1" t-case drop and 6* shims, things ran pretty smooth. I put in a H&T SYE with front DS at the beginning of the summer, took out the shims and t-case drop. Had to shorten the front drivehaft, a front XJ shaft wont fit mine for whatever reason...

Im in the process of mounting a backbone on the front of my 98 XJ and have run into a couple little snags. As is typical, I had 1 steering box bolt snap. If all the other bolts are in, will this 1 broken bolt make any difference or can I leave it until I have a way to get it all disconnected and...

Im trying to fine tune the rear end after putting in an SYE. I measured and needed abouta 4 degree shim, so I bought one and it was too much. So now I need a 2 degree shim I think. Would much rather buy a used one in case thats still not the cause of my vibes and hate to pay $35+ for a couple...

I have a 98 XJ 4.0 auto with almost 200K. For the past year or so Ive been hearing an oscillating kinda hum in the front end, sounds drivers side to me. Not anything I could feel, so I never worried much about it. Before I took it off the road for a regear/rebuild it was getting louder, enough...

I got my SYE in and am setting up my pinion angle. From the measurement I just took, the driveshaft is at 13 degrees and the pinion is at 16 degrees. I wonder why it vibes?:confused1 Its at 16 degrees because of the 6 degree shim I have back there, which is obviously coming out. Which will...

Getting ready to order a gas tank skid. Going to be for a weekend wheeler, I dont usually play in the rocks. Just want to protect the tank from scrapes and sharp rocks when ditch crossing. I haven't been able to get my hands on a stock skid, and it looks like some of the cheaper of the...

I picked up a set of drop brackets over the winter, and as soon as I find the time in the next couple of weeks will be installing them. Ive read lots about the brackets, but im concerned with my control arms. I have rusty's extended fixed control arms. RC says they will work, but my concern is...

I found an ARB bumper for sale locally, but it's on a '89. I see ARB sells 2 versions of the bumper, what is the difference and is it worth modding to get it to fit my 98?

I have a 98 XJ lifted ~5". Probably 3 years ago or so I put on Rusty's extended fixed control arms. Probably a year and a half later I was getting a clunk in 4wd when wheeling/climbing. After having someone rock the vehicle for me I found that it's the UCA moving a good amount in the body mount...

Im looking for a good easy to carry lighter for camping and general preparedness I guess you could say. Something windproof and freezeproof. Something I can use starting the campfire every weekend as well as rely on if I go through the ice and it's -30 or so. Anyone carry something they have...

Is the dealership the only place to get larger speedo gears? Going to 4.88s and 35s, need a 39 tooth.

Notch the crosspin? Doing the gears on an 8.25, and was wondering which is the best and safest way. Grind a couple of teeth down, or mill a side of the crosspin. Going to 4.88.

I just tried installing a IRO hack and tap on my 98 XJ. Auto, 231, 8.25 rear. When we measured the ~33" from the rear yoke, it put us at the end of the splines, with far less than 1" left. So we threw the front driveshaft into the rear yoke, and with it fully compressed it will just fit with...

I am in the middle of installing an aussie in the d30 of my 98 XJ. It is all assembled, but the big pin that goes through the center of the whole carrier is very loose in the center hole of the locker. Is this normal? Im torn apart in the garage right now and trying to find out so we can put it...

I just got a set of RuffStuff diff covers, and its beautiful out so I plan on painting them. A stupid question, should I paint the insides of the covers or will that come off and contaiminate the gear oil? Im probably overthinking this...

A friend of the family has been storing an early 80's grand prix and is planning on moving soon. He wants to get rid of it before he goes, even if it mean selling it to a scrap yard. It's got a 350 in it, rebuilt in '97. Not sure about the rebuild or how many miles have been on it since, but I...

I have a set of tires off my JK for sale, asking $650 OBO, trade for a kayak. I got an offer yesterday of an old town predator k111 with paddle. Anyone have experience with one of these, or know if it's any good? Not many reviews on it that I could find. Assuming it comes with everything it...
