Just took this out of my 1999 with a front Dana 30. It was installed with 4.10 gears. Has about 5000 miles on it, and sadly not one single offroad encounter. It's been through 1 winter with plenty of snowy roads- but no dirt, rocks, mud, or submersion. Used with Castrol Syntec 75-140 full...

I've been browsing around the webz recently looking at air helper springs, and an idea came across my mind. What if you used the air spring to share the load under normal driving conditions, rather than just "overload" situations. Here's my thought: A lot of poor guys in the mini-truck world...

I've been searching and searching, and having a helluva time finding any useful info. What I'm looking for are different brands FIXED control arm lengths (eye-to-eye). Almost everyone makes them. Usually they're just labelled as "works with 3-4.5" or "for 6+". Longer story, here's why: I've...

I recently tossed out my 6+ year old Pro Comp 3.5" leafs. They did their job for years, had no complaints other than they had sagged a little too much, and stiffened due to contacting the overload leaf excessively. I have HD's shackle box relocators, and some Zone Offroad 1-1.5" shackles. My...

So I'm at sort of a fork in the road with my rear suspension. Over the past 5 years I think my springs have hit their "final resting place" in terms of sag. I went from stock shackles, to stock shackles and relocators, to 1" lift shackles and relocators, to 2" lift shackles and relocators. All...

So im pretty disappointed here, and don't really know what to think. I just ordered a complete front Dana 30 assembly, 4.10 motive gears, spartan locker, from East Coast Gear Supply for a paltry sum of $1500. After installation, i drove it about 10 feet before thinking something was wrong. For...

Just like the title states. Complete 8.25 axle, drum to drum including the u bolts and brake lines. No e-brake cables. NO LEAKS. No noise. I need this gone by MONDAY or I will recycle and take what little cash they give me. NEW (less than 500 miles): -drums -wheel cylinders RECENT (within the...

Got my million-dollar Dana 44 installed tonight. However, when loosening the rear brake line where the hardline becomes flexible, the hard line broke in half from corrosion. I was so livid. I used a super ghetto compression union to splice in a new smaller piece of line, but it will NOT be...

Just in time for the 'Fourth. Heading down to the Outer Banks, NC this year and wanted to show my patriotism, while engaging in adult activities on the beach. As much as this country is in the $hitter right now, I am still grateful that I was born and raised here, rather than any other country...

1998 - AW4 - 231 - 90,000 miles - Ok here's the scoop. Picked up a new Jeep super cheap from a small up and coming shop that seemed to be cherokee enthusiasts. When I bought it, the seller told/showed me there was a noise, and leaned REALLY hard towards a cracked flexplate or something...

Came across something very strange while trying to diagnose a front end noise today. The slip joint in my rear driveshaft is totally seized. It's a factory front shaft used with an SYE. When I took the shaft out, I couldn't collapse or extend it by hand. It took a vice and a 4 lb sledge to...

I've been researching different brake setups for hours tonight, and recently ran into some pads the are spec'd for our xj front brakes. See here: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=270672518106&cmd=VIDESC Never seen them before, anyone have any more info or insight on these? Are...

I've got a couple of random things for sale. Just trying to get rid of some stuff to fund/make room for other little projects. I'll continue to add things as I take more pics. I will ship all items on your dime. PM me or Text me, its much easier to text on my phone than it is to log into this...

Our boneyard is literally bare bones these days. Only 2 '97+ XJ's and they're both stripped of their clocksprings. I need one with cruise control to get my brother's through inspection. If you have one, name your price. They seem to be around $120+ new. Without cruise control will also work.

I've got 3 that are bad, and finally after 2 years of dealing with it I feel it should be addressed. I've searched for hours today and haven't had an ounce of luck finding OEM or aftermarket replacements. Best I found was someone who afro-engineered some universal actuators in the doors and...

I'm almost done with my Dana 44 ABS conversion. Currently it has the stock drum setup, and drum tone rings. Does anyone know of a disc swap kit that will work with ABS, and still retain a parking brake? I'm trying to keep it stock-style, so parking brake is a must. Caliper-integrated or drum...

So I FINALLY got my front shaft put back in after replacing my worn out shift mode spring in the transfer case. Before installing the shaft I made SURE the tcase was in 2hi by spinning the front yoke by hand. As soon as I backed out of the driveway I thought "NO WAY"... It can't be in 4wd. So I...

Well I had high hopes for this axle, but lately I can't seem to find time to put into it, so it's gotta go. This is a 1990 XJ Dana 44 with 4.88 gears, a Rockcrusher diff cover, raised (ghetto) shock mounts, drums, and complete brakes (look pretty old) with e-brake cables. The only catch - it's...

Came out of my 30 spline '90 Dana 44. Too noisy for my DD duties. No broken parts (the syncro tabs are still good) and no wear on any mating surfaces. Comes with a brand new spring kit as well. I have the cross shaft and roll pins but forgot to toss them in the pics. I see these list for around...

If you think the whole "oil igniting on exhaust" concept is just a myth - think again. It was about 2am, some buddies and I were at the beach and decided to go bomb some dunes. We got to the sand, and started playing around. I'd say I was around 60-70% lead foot status. Pushing her, but...
