Installed IRO OTK steering on the XJ.

 

Nice theyre a life saver lol

I cleaned all the broken teeth out of my front diff and ordered a front locker

 

Just the spiders? Or you snap a ring or pinion?

 

ring and pinion look good

 

dodged that bullet then eh? You going for a Lunchbox then to take the place, or are you going full carrier and resetting your gears?

 

Realized that since I got an entire WJ d30 from hub to hub to convert my WJ to 4wd, I can also convert the XJ over to the better WJ parts. I have all the steering and everything. Just another thing to start researching

Bonus is both Axles have the Akebono calipers

Paid 75$ for the entire axle, including brakes, and steering.

 

Yeah thought about upgrading them anyway and redoing the gears but I don't have the money for that right now. Will get to it at some point. Been wanting to lock up the front for a while. Now that the spiders are broke perfect time for the upgrade

 

Make sure you pick up some extra d30 shafts. Talked to alot of guys who said when they locked their d30 it started snapping shafts.

 

Definitely will. Brothers already snapped his twice

 

dammit.. good thing i just received my lokka for the d30 today. is it heavy offroad use that's snapping them?

 

I haven't had any issues snapping axle shafts and I've been rough on my jeep since installing the Spartan lockers.


Got the fittings and plumbed in the trans cooler.

 

I just installed my my Lokka in my 30 last weekend. I haven't wheeled it yet except in the foot of snow we had in town. So far so good.

 

Began the long task of mold mitigation. It helps working for a restoration company.

 

I have about 5k miles on aussies front and rear. One time I was in a bad bind and the driver front u-joint exploded taking the inner and outer shafts with it. Junkyard shafts ground to accept 1-3/16 snap rings and 760x u-joints and I havn't had a problem since.

 

installed my led bar!!
