Ok cool. I think they will have them. I'm not sure what kind they are. I'm buying them from someone on here who bought them on Craigs list. So size may vary slightly from company to company. Thanks for the heads up on quadratech though.

I need some ideas with changing my front passenger u-joint. Getting the axel nut off doesn't look like it's happening with my tools or muscle. So I'm trying to pop the c-clips off of the u-joint and get it out that way. I was able to break 1 out, the others not so lucky. If I can get one more it might work. What can I use other than a screw driver n hammer?

you're not going to be able to change it without pulling the axle. You can pull the axle with the hub still attached though (without removing the big *** nut) - bit more awkward to move around when changing the joint but totally doable.

Default Door lock question

I finally got all 5 door locks working and now I can lock or unlock from either the driver side or passenger side. It's really nice except for one little thing, after either locking or unlocking from either side it won't work again for a little while.

Any thoughts on what it could be?

I think I'll hold on it for now...at least until xmas when I get better tools. As long as I don't use 4wd it should be ok to drive on a couple more weeks right?

Is there a way to tell my spline count in my C8.25 without pulling the diff cover?

It's a 3.55 gearing C8.25 in a 2001 Cherokee Sport

Two questions:

1. Me and my girlfriend are going on a date tonight what should we do?

2. If you bang inside of a Jeep, does it count as a three some?
