    Do you want a diesel Jeep? Goto http://JeepDieselPetition.com and sign the petition!

    Seems like it might be pretty good the way it is? I am afraid someone will put those big chrome upright exhausts on one. That is too redneck , even for me.

    Thinking about upgrading the Mouser

    Sure, if you want to come down some weekend we could do it:bike_rider:. I bought a bearing style spindle from AtoZ Fabrication. A lot of people say these are not a good idea b/c they are not double shear so if they fail your tire/carrier falls off. My latch is so strong that I don't worry...

    Frozen bolt!

    I'd try taking all the other bolts that hold the bracket and then tapping the bracket side to side behind the bolt. Sometimes that will break the grip.

    How is the power compared to a 4.0?

    For those of you who like older Grand Wagoneer.

    I pulled the axles out of a perfect 91 waggy, white, with wood sides. The guy at the yard tipped it on it's side with the forks. Still makes me kind of sick. I wish I had bought the whole truck.

    Thinking about upgrading the Mouser

    Does your tire carrier hinge use bearings or a rubber/poly bushing?

    BigAl's Jeep

    I've gotten a lot of mileage from that sticker! Most like it, some are highly offended:elkgrin: The jeep was feeling neglected, so I bought it some new stuff. These are from M.O.R.E. These are from alloy, i think. I got these under warrenty from Warn, I blew one out this spring. I'll...

    jeep xj gearing

    For 31s, 4.10s could be done cheaply by buying a complete set of stock axles from a 4 cylinder jeep. You might get away with $250 or less.

    so in the morning I am replacing my rear main seal

    I have done several rear main seals on 4.0s, the job is not hard, but my success rate sucks. Most of them still drip slightly?

    Walk-in cooler / freezer panels for camper box construction?

    We use these to build stabiltiy chambers at work, then we set them to 40C/75%RH. We use a lot of silicon to seal them up tight. No sure how hard it would be to keep them watertight on a moving vehicle?

    has anyone done their own gear change?

    anti religion posts are stickly moderated here so tread lightly. Several jeep forums have already adopted the 11 commandment, 'thou shalt not run a D35' I have got to agree with you, ihave seen many dana 35s abused and not broken. For 33 tires I wouldn't hesitate to run it open or locked

    BigAl's Jeep

    Thanks, I built a piece of 2" receiver stock into my tire carrier so I can plug in different accessories. The shovel carrier is just a piece of 2" box with a flat plate welded on . The plate has 2 quick fists that hold the shovel. I also made a cooler rack

    Upgrading the jeeps rear dif

    When I posted about the lunch box locker, I kinda new the dana 35 would get lambasted. I have personnally run a dana 35 welded with 33" boggar tires and beat the snot out of it. I actually tried to break it one day b/c I had a new set off 44s waiting to go in but I broke the driveshaft...

    Upgrading the jeeps rear dif

    If your tires are 32" or less, I would look at a lunch box locker. This locker type just replaces the spider gears and does not require the expensive/complicated gear set up. You can do it yourself for $250ish.

    Awnings on your van?

    My buddy James convinced me I should make a side awning for the Alstro. Have any of you guys made an awning? I am most interested in how it attaches to the van. I have found awning track online, I think I want a track so that rain cannot blow between the roof and the awning. I am also...
