Did you head over there? I an 8.25 also. Dans wants 675 to put bearings on mine. Still a little sore from the baseball bat and Vaseline.

 

So I was messing around with some 550 cord that I had left over from a truck I had in my shop and started to make an o **** handle to replace the plastic ones this is how far I got need more cord but I think im going to order some different colors and do it that way

 

Went by there today picked up a good looking 8.25. There was 1 more that I saw. Now its time to open it up and see whats inside.

 

Alot of the FA were gone and unfortunately alot of the xj are 2wd ( no wonder they are in the junk yard. There are some grands that still have them though.

 

how was the swap to 8.25. Im getting ready to do mine and want to know if i should expect any snags along the way.

 

This is how much I got done before I ran out

 

There

 

I believe pep boys only charges to balance... Call and get a quote

 

Just about every place is gonna charge to balance your tires unless you bought you're tires through them with a road hazard warranty. or you know someone that can hook you up for the price of lunch or kick them down some scratch.

 

Man where did u get those radios?

 

still got this roof rack if anyone is interested..

thnx

Also anyone good with Wrangler Carbs? Or know a good carb shop?

 

Keep in mind you can't use a HAM radio for it's intended purpose without the proper licensing

 

Indeed, but I'm saying I believe they only charge for the balancing, not mounting! So half price compared to most places, coming from someone who works at a tire shop. Also as a former pep boys employee I THINK I remember that we never got paid to mount tires only to balance

 

The center bolt holes for the leaf springs are bigger. Other than that you just need bigger u bolts.

 

Yeah I grabbed the bolts from the jeep I took them off still in good shape. So you said that the hole is bigger does that mean I need a larger center bolt for the leafs
