I run spicer 1310s for my driveline and 760s for my axle shafts. They all came with the note to not add grease and I never have. They typically say to not mix the bearing caps as well. Following these two tips Iv had zero issues.

 

Ill take spicers word. They are in both my rebuilt DS and run great. First time i got this card so i did add grease to the 1310. But ill just install these. Wanna do them next weekend

 

For the record, realized today that my torque wrench is in in-lbs instead of ft-lbs. So yeah, improper torquing. I am an idiot.

 

So we are talking like
110 in/lbs
/12 = ~ 9 ft. lbs?
You are lucky it didn't just fall off.

 

I think I may be late to the party but no.

lol not hot in Mississauga? What are you from the Congo? That place is roasting during traffic. That city is like 80% blacktop.

Not worth it to "remove" it. You have to pay to take parts out and there's no benefit. However if you're going to wheel it you can convert the A/C compressor to just an air compressor for onboard air.

 

Yeah, I really didn't think they were tight enough, and that my torque wrench must have been off. I did tighten them more. The whole time I was thinking "Come on, I haven't been out of the shop for that long, something can't be right". Massive facepalm

 

I just prefer the wind. And nope, Italian lol.
Lots of asphalt though, gotta find some trails, no idea where to look.(obviously not here lol)

Well aside from an idler pulley and mount.
I want that condenser out so I can stick in a bigger rad, or at least allow better flow to the OEM one. Maybe I'll get rid of that stuff and look into the air compressor conversion.

 

I bought an adjustable track bar from a guy who had it on his 97 grand. It came with a rc drop bracket which I left connected. The track bar has a heim at the axle end and a bushing that looks exactly like the stock one on the frame side. From all the pictures I've seen it looks like the heim should be connected to the drop bracket. I believe the bar is a rustys track bar. Should I switch it around before driving on it?

 

how hard would it be on a 97 xj 4.0 auto with 8.25 rear on 31s, to pull a 16ft camper? would it even be advised?

 

The trans will run ferociously hot. If it's regeared properly and had trans cooler on it, it's better, but I don't know if it still would be advisiable

 

Unless the camper is made of paper your transmission would probaby explode.

Weight: a lot
Wind load: a lot
Gears: none
Cooling capacity: dick

Cooler + gears to attempt that.

 

And the fact that the metal on the uniframe where the hitch bolts on is only so thin. If u have rust on it. The hitch probably would get pulled off

 

That is a vacuum line for the AC/Heat controls or 'blend door' which is above passenger foot well inside cab.
Reconnect with a piece of rubber hose the fits snugly over hoses.

Has to do with the amount of grease in the caps. If the caps are mixed than they may not fully seat due to too much grease that has nowhere to go.

 

And that makes sense. First time also, I saw actual pink grease in new u joints. Usually its black and watery lol. When i install, they just gettin thrown on and ill report if my wheel flies off on the turnpike

 

For a seat swap from a wj to a 2000xj does it matter if the wj seats are power and my xj seats are manual?
