On the right front, looks like a little bit of differential oil leaked out. Is this bad? Why did it do that?

Good brand. Be careful if you found that on Craigslist or something. He probably just took a picture of the spare multiple times lol.

Looks like a good deal to me. I priced another set of 31's before i got my 32's and was quoted $600 or more in every brand of tire. And thats at the cheapest place in 100 miles.

Great tires. Good on and off road and wear good, if you rotate every 3-4k miles

Hey guys, quick question here..

I was looking at buying some spicer 1310s for my front drive shaft but the guy I talked to over the phone told me that every time he replaces the U joints the blow up after about 10,000 miles or so because their is no way to service the double cardan joint. He says he ends up getting a driveshaft shop to cut his off and put a whole new one on.

The reason I am buying new u joints because I am doing a hack n tap and the front driveshaft I bought (used) doesn't come with any U joints so I am not sure how many miles are one the thing..

Thanks for helping me out guys, I definitely didn't want to have to do all that just for U joints lol.

One last question, how bad are the greasable u joints? I can get greasable 1310s for $15 a pop with free shipping. Well.. they would be shipped to a store a couple miles away from my house and then I'd go pick them up. So technically they shipping is free

Default Stock exhaust replacement

My exhaust has been loud for awhile and finally really loud. I was quoted a price of $576 (parts and labor) I think that seems crazy for a stock exhaust (Cherokee Sport 2001).

Am I being unrealistic that it should be less? They charged me $100 for a weld that lasted a mere 10 miles (the one on the front has held, but the support in the back broke within 10 miles). I know the support needs to be replaced or it will crack at the pipe again, but I can't get the bolt out to put the new hanger on.

Thanks-
Avin
