Hello everyone, I recently installed a spartan locker in my d30 and just thought about one of the install procedures that I possibly rushed. I’ve put maybe 100 miles on since install. When I reinstalled the ring gear, I used red loctite and torqued to 55ftlbs in a star pattern. However I did...

Long time since writing on here and have yet another questions regarding the no slip. Not that long ago I had one break in my truck, and powertrax/motive took care of me with top notch customer service. Now I had the new one installed with my new gears professionally in my rear axle. Has...

Hey everyone installed new re 4.5 leafs and rough country’s shackle relocation brackets with my re boomerang shackles and my ride is much stiffer. Not sure if it’s supposed to feel a little stiffer and want to know if this will ruin my new springs being that they are forced to lay flatter...

Hey everyone, just installed rubicon expresses long arm upgrade and it flexes more, but not quite what I was expecting. Not saying it’s the kit. Likely other limiting factors in my suspension. Current set up is zones 4.5 coils, re long arms, bilstein 5100(BIL24-185943) fronts, bilstien 5100...

Hey everyone, Just wanted to share an experience I recently had with a powertrax no slip locker for my 8.25. Installed the locker about a month ago. Install was very simple. Street manors were great. Only time I ever heard the locker was at low speed while turning. Used it for a few weeks on...

Hi everyone, Looking for some quick opinions. I am attempting to install re long arm upgrade and having a real pita with my frame stiffeners. Ground down a lot of material to get them square and really don’t want to drill through them. What do you guys think about welding on the control arm...

Hey everyone, adding to my spare parts list and heading up to the con next week. Would anyone happen to have a spare shaft for the 8.25 and willing to sell? thanks!

I just ordered this control arm kit. Anyone know if the cross member works as a skid for the transfer case? Not a lot of photos on this actually installed and re doesn’t make a tc skid for xj. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Went to install a powertrax no slip tonight and ran into this issue. My pinion shaft will not clear my ring gear and therefor I can’t remove it/remove spider and side gears to install locker. Any tricks for installing this? Possible to install the locker without removing the pinion shaft? The...

Hey everyone, I’ve been asking a lot of random questions on threads lately, but really trying to get my rig dialed in this summer. I’m planning on running rubicon in September. As of now I feel like everything is there except for a sye. I’m currently at 4.5-5” lift rear with no vibes in my...

I have a 2001 LP dana 30 and need some trail spares. Ebay has some but seem pretty steep on price. Can pay or trade some product as I work for a eyewear company. thanks!

Alright sorry for beating an old topic to the ground. I’m sure enough peeps have asked this. Who has done a home regear who is not a professional and how did it end out? I’m a capable weekend mechanic and have done radiators, frame stiffeners, lifts, rear main, axle seals etc. all the routine...

Possibly have a free day tomorrow and was considering heading up to big bear.

Hey all, looking for some advice from the electrical wizards that frequent here. Not that this is at all technical, but over my head. I have a midland 1001lwx that is wired directly to the battery. I have my a firestik firefly mounted on the rockhard tire carrier antenna mount. Using the...

Hello everyone, Finally putting some focus into building the Jeep after three years of ownership. This is my first XJ and 3rd jeep. The first two being Wranglers. Loved those little things, but wanted a little more comfort and needed more space so the XJ was the only way to go. A little...

Hello all, I know this topic and question have been beaten into the ground, and I also know it is very subjective. I am torn between Rough Country's 4.5" x series lift, and Rubicon Express 3.5" super ride lift. Both with full leaf packs. I like the idea of RC because it is complete, but I...
