I am looking at having to replace 3 tires on my stock 1999 Cherokee 2wd. I found these on Craigslist http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/pts/3081845443.html If i have read the correct info on the tire size, it is the biggest I can go with my stock vehicle without any issues. My question is will the wheels fit without any issues?

I'm changing the rear diff pinion seal (Dana 35C). The manual calls for socket tool J 22575 to remove the pinion nut. What does that translate to in standard or metric sizes??

Thanks, my 12pt 1 1/8 has a little play in it. I guess I could try to get a 6pt 1 1/16 and 1 1/8 and see which works better.

The 30mm that works for the t-case is too big. Oh well, never hurts to have more tools.

That would cause me to loose it. Broke a 3/8 ratchet one day it hit me in the forehead, i lost it. Cracking a freshly machined block would be the end of something or someone. If it wasn't for nicotine i would probably be in jail right now.

Who votes that I should drop the cash to buy a bushing kit for my Cherokee? I'm sure all the ones under there are the 16 year old stock ones. And I'm putting in a lift so I'll have mostly everythig down.

Default block question

This is a picture of behind my water pump. I’m trying to figure out if this flat spot is machined into the casting, or my water pump impeller implosion caused this?

Thanks
