Finaly did something with my cargo area today after three years of a pure mess back there. What do you think?

 

looks good man!

 

got the gears and new carrier installed on the front axle and; installed the new gears and locker on my new 8.25, next weekend installing under jeep... after i do some finishing touches to the front gears, got them a lil too tight have to remove the bearing and remove a shim...... Will have pics up tonight....

 

the trans decided to take a crap. now it wont shift out of 1st and 2nd.

 

Well, I finally got a chance to get the new toys I bought at the 4x4 swap meet, cleaned up and installed in my Jeep. I got a ZJ tierod from Branden and I bought a set of 95+ axle shafts which are thicker and have a larger knuckle cup and use the larger U-joints. Can't wait to try the Rock Face on Expressway up at Walker again. One thing I will tell you guys with older XJs that have the disco and 2 piece long side axle. If you want to go to the newer larger one piece axle shafts, there is a plastic insert just inside of the disco opening in the axle housing that you will have to pop out, otherwise the axle will not slide in. Ready to go wheeling now.

 

Installed my ruff stuff 8.25 diff cover today

 

Installed a Reese hitch, and undercoated the rear were it wasn't already done.

 

put a lot of miles on it this week driving back and forth to tumwater. Been doing a lot of research on a new tracbar. Also been looking for a new front bumper or some rock sliders (birthday present). Anyone know of any?

 

make em yourself. lots cheaper. i have some designs you might like. PM if you want them.

 

Installed a CB today (with a little help). Then sat around discussing all the dreams and aspirations we have for our XJ's. Then got my old leaf packs out of the garage. Now all thats left to get rid of is two of the old rims

 

so i got some original leaf packs. guna put em on. hopfully my rear tires wont be as stuffed.

 

Found that annoying rattle at 1,700 RPMs in the back. The tail pipe is hitting the gas tank skid plate. I was thinking it was something loose in the hatch because I couldn't find anything loose anywhere. I'll be happy when it's quiet again.
I know where I'm going tomorrow. I hate rattles and squeaks!

 

Parked her in my office window so I could stare all day long. Ha ha

 

That way you can sit and dream of future mods you're going to make while waiting to get off work.

 

Let me know... I know that they are newer than those you have and those are definetly screwed
