What does the teacher charge for gear installs? I need to do 4.88s in my 30/8.25. For those that don't know, the 8.25 does require a special tool for setting the carrier preload. I can provide it for a big install one mine, tony's, whomevers, etc
Pflugerville high school. You'd have to talk to him about it

Default For Sale: 1998 Forest Green Cherokee 139K miles

I live in austin but am moving (unfortunately). Im selling my forest green Jeep Cherokee SE. 4.0L inline-6. Clean inside, drives great but has a couple minor issues. These are easy fixes such as motor mount replacement and AC pulley replacement. 139,000 miles (very low mileage). Fast and powerful inline 6 with original tranny and engine (in perfect condition). Small and minor dents and scratches. Email me for any questions or pictures. I love this car to death. It also has a brand new stereo system with cd and MP3/ipod hookups. Make me an offer!

Hey all,

Just moved to the Cove/Killeen area this last week. Would love to hook up with some fellow jeepers and meet some new people.

I wouldn't recommend using RC's track bar anyways, they're a great company and all, but the track bars (at least through my experience) are kinda... meh. I'd recommend Iron Rock Offroad's track bar.

Without a track bar, your steering with just push the axle left and right, it keeps the axle centered, just as the control arms keep it centered forward and back. And their steering stabilizer was fine when I had it, personally I don't even have a stabilizer after getting the Serious Offroad's steering setup.

So how do I get in touch with your teacher to see if i'd qualify for dropping my jeep off and having the leaf springs swapped? I'd just do it myself but I need to have the bushings pressed out of the current leaves and into the ones goin in.

It's to late sadly, schools out in two weeks. This was our last work week and next week we clean out the shop. If you wanna wait three months we can do it
