Nice! I hope all goes well with your slave cylinder!
I got my slave and a clutch kit but I am trying to do a conversion to 4wd on my XJ. You guys know of an ax-15 or transfer case being sold in the local area?

Ordered my SYE. No free time til the end of the month to install. Need to get it installed before Moab in October though.

October 19-21. If anyone wants to go. Some friends from Utah Xterra Owners Club will be there too. Leaving on the 18th since its a 460 mile drive.
Those shocks sound like they need to be broken in. I recommend taking it down "the pipeline" if you havent. It wore in my first set of upgraded procomps(generic white tube shock lol) and they were kush after that.

Lmao exxon valdeez. My parking spot in the street too. Just added a fresh quart of gear oil to the asphalt

I dont have a whole lot done to her yet. Just rancho 9000 shocks, and 30x9.5 tires on american racing wheels. the rear leafs are sagging pretty bad so she bottoms out alot. But for an 88 pioneer she still runs great, and takes everything i throw at her.

I hated the RC Nitro's on mine. Our last pipeline run broke my RC shocks...well not so much broke more bent one really bad...then again I was climbing those big a$$ concrete stairs out of that retaining area too.....probably had something to do with it

So I should be getting back into town in September. I'll have a few parts available then if any locals are interested.

1, Pro comp RS3000 Front shocks for 2 or 3 in lift. they only have about 3,000 miles on them. Going to swap up to some longer shocks to go with my setup. $40 for the pair.

2. Sway bar drop brackets, DriverX gave me them from his lift but I will not be needing them. no hardware just the brackets you just gotta go get 4 bolts, nuts, and washers. Free to a good home.

3. new in package RE Tcase drop. bolts and Alloy spacers. I got this from Photojared (and I still owe him the $20 for it lol when ever we meet up again) $20 takes it.

4. stock Tie rod needs new ends, free to a good home.

5. stock lower control arms, I know nobody will want em but if you need em let me know so I dont just toss them, free to a good home.

6. 92/3 stock sport 10 hole wheels. some rock rash.. actually I think they all have some on the lip, one has some messed up lug holes but they still balance out perfectly. they have 235/75s mounted on them tho the tires are showing their age haha they still hold air and have lasted a few trail runs. the one on the right rear is the worst, you can see the white on the sidewall. If anyone wants these make me an offer.
