    JK Axle *TUBE* Failures?

    Thanks...thats what I was looking for. Bushings are the saving grace for those then. I was thinking more about a 4-link.

    JK Axle *TUBE* Failures?

    This is what I have always thought about when it comes to coil sprung front suspensions and long arm lifts. I know that there are long arm lifts that totally get rid of the separate upper arms, and have long lower arms with small uppers extending off of them. Here is a link to a kit that makes...

    JK Axle *TUBE* Failures?

    I wonder if its caused by a lot of torque on the axle. I have heard a lot about Ford 8.8's (a common rear axle swap for Jeepers) axle tubes actually spinning in the differential if too much torque is applied to it. A lot of guys weld up trusses and call it a day. Maybe with power and...

    xj winch bumper

    I love it. If I got one, I dont see why it would be too difficult to grind down the welds and smooth everything out, and upgrade it as needed. But its a great alternative to an ARB, especially if youre on a budget. Cant beat the price. Do the D-ring tabs go all the way to the bumper mounts...

    95 YJ Family Adventure Jeep

    ha ha...whatever works. It seems you do a lot of stuff in TN...what part? Im in middle TN, and would love to take a trip sometime...although your rig will be able to handle a whole lot more than mine. But we have a trip on March 7th to Woolys Off Road park if you are interested.

    95 YJ Family Adventure Jeep

    Great YJ. I loved the old photos and the progression the Jeep went through. Nowadays, everyone has a digital camera, but those must be film, and for some reason, they just look more nostalgic. Very cool. Ive had a couple YJs so Im definitely partial to them.

    :clapsmile Nice info, and great looking XJ. Thanks for the input!! I really like that setup. I am just wanting more storage below the sleep deck so that is why Ill raise it up above the wheel wells. But since it is a DD, I want to retain the back seat. Great info though...Thanks!

    IH Manual Hubs

    $350!! dang! Maybe new...but....your sale, not mine..ha. If these could be fit to current D30's for a 98 Jeep Cher, I might be interested, but I couldnt afford that. GL though!

    Do you mean rummaging through the storage while your in the back? I dont really care about that part. As you can see in the drawings the front section will be completely removable when the back seats will be used (DD configuration). When in, it will be flush with the rear storage compartment...

    Did they not have the V8 in the Grand in 96? If so that would be heavier correct?

    Ok, heres the version with the seat forward, and the extra panel in place, gaining 10", for an overall length of 68". The picture shows the front seat leaning forward, but on my 98, the do not do this. They just lean up near vertically, and scoot forward a bit. There would also be 25" between...

    Ive been wanting to get working on a platform for the rear of my Jeep, for storage under, and a sleeping surface on top. Here's what I came up with. The front platform section would be removable to allow use of the rear seats, as it is a DD. The rear platform could stay in all the time...
