An SYE will depend on what year you buy. Pre '97, you should be good without one but they changed the slip yoke/output housing in late '96. The housing is shorter and doesn't support the slip yoke as far out as the earlier ones. This causes more loading of the slip yoke since it is further...

I would love it but still can't afford one... :(

Nice setup. Congrats! :D

Looking good. Keep up the work and pics!

Jack stands are a BAD idea when not on level ground. The risk is too great. Funny thing I found, the Rhino Ramps happen to be the right hight, that if I put them at the lower end of my driveway and drive the car/truck down the driveway, when I am in the "pockets" on the ramps, the car sits...

Depends on what you are needed to do. If you need to just do fluids or anything that doesn't require pulling the wheels off, ramps work great. I have never seen anyone have a car fall of ramps before. Jack stands, I only use them when I need to pull the wheel(s) for something. Suspension and...

I pieced my lift together, since at that time I could not afford to buy everything in one shot. Took me a year of gathering parts before I did the lift. What this did allow me though, is to pick and choose individual parts from different manufacturers. I tried to buy the best of each part...

You didn't say if it was an auto or manual. If it's a manual, and just putting it into first gear (without letting the clutch out) and it stalls, it may be a very worn clutch that is not releasing fully and putting enough drag to stall it. I would check the fuilds and if they are not...

Well, I don't own one (wishing I could afford a car payment) but my wife and I rented a 4 door when on Maui and a 2 door when on Kauai. We put about 600-700 miles on each of them during the week we were on each island. We found them both very comfortable but REALLY liked the 4 door. The...

Nice, looks good on your rig. Do you happen to have any more pics of your rear bumper, mainly the corners? I have been thinking of doing a similar wrap guard to protect the corners. Don't see many XJ's with them so I am trying to get some ideas. Thanks! :D

This is a old Malcom Smith Goretex enduro jacket that I have had for close to 20 years. I hardly used it and it is in mint condition. It is 100% water and wind proof. It has four pockets on the front and a zippered vent across the back. It zips up the front with a velcro flap and has an...

Oh, that is SWEET!!! Color matched roof and flairs. Makes it look more like a LR or LC. Cool wheels and proper ExPo white. :victory: Outside of not needing the RTT, that would be perfect for us.

Hey Mario, That's because Firefox auto resizes pictures and Internet Explorer does not. Kind of a pain but that's Microsoft for ya. :ylsmoke: Nice pics BTW. :sombrero:

Both of your FSJ are totally getting me "jonesing" for one. I love the body styling, very classic offroad look. With today's modern drivetrains, I would totally be looking to swap over a EFI, OD tranny setup, to get better performance and mileage. My problem, I need another project like I...

The biggest things the contribute to the feared "death wobble" is lack of Caster or worn out steering and suspension parts. I had found a chart at one time that listed how long the lower control arms needed to be with different lift amounts. Since I am at 3" of lift, the chart showed a 1/4"...

I agree 100%. This could be the new Kia, if Chrysler goes bankrupt. Kia could buy them and change the grill and have a new model ready to go... I also agree that the pricing puts it into a higher market in where the Jeep name is not respected. Oh well, doesn't matter as I won't be buying it...

Well that would suck. I really liked the JK version, even though I would never be able to afford one. So many cool ideas built in. Glad Scott got his when he did.

I hope you didn't take my comments the wrong way. I was not directing them at you but commenting on the ABDSP info. It seems so many laws are made up for some of the dumbest reasons. Case in point, CA banning Black cars. Come on! As for your posted info, I was not aware of the leash laws...

Cool. I agree, Heart Attack hill (after the the slot (or squeeze)) is much scarier then Diablo Dropoff. Maybe they were talking about the overlook and not the actual road. Come up to the overlook at night, without knowing it was there and that would be pretty scary. :Wow1: [rant on] Really...

Our first offroad trip with Ellie. She did great and had a lot of fun. Those mud caves were fun, where are we going now??? I'm on top of the world! All this offroading is fun.
