U rebuild autos?? Quote me a labor price minus rebuild kit.mite jus buy a jy tranny and r&r after I got one to jus replace. Keep the jeep outta commission for the shortest time

 

Its gonna happen after heiney. I feel it'll b OK if I baby it

 

Trails west 4×4 center.

I am a mechanic there

 

Taking my rear drive shaft to driveline 1 tomorrow morning to have it rebuilt. You buy the spicer joints there they put them in free. My u-joint at the end of my shaft that connects to the axle, one of the caps is cracked. Replacing all 3 and having them clean it up and rebuild the cv portion of it too.

 

So we need to come visit you when you're at work then lol

 

Yes I tell some of the other suspension mechanics here about the internet hate on blocks and other things.

Its great for a good laugh.

 

Any time!

 

I usually charge 300 if you bring me the tranny. And I warranty it

And I should be able to get you a rebuild kit for a hundred dollars.

That's a deal. And if I were not working 90hrs a week, I would give an even better deal since you're a xj guy.

 

worked on the radiator tonight and got the old one out. then decided while i was there to check my thermostat. its a 195, and i boiled it and it never opened. glad i took the time to check it. what is a good temperature thermostat to run? i know O.E. is 195, but does anyone recommend a different temperature?

also traded off a set of nutstrips i oredered from 4wd hardware for a factory set of tow hooks now i'll have better tow points on it.

 

195 Is fine

 

Glad to see everyone is getting or already got tow points. Spare tires and good straps are next. For everyone. Yes you too caveman I got 8ply tires too but still its necasarry

 

My rear shaft joint








Yea glad I'm getting new joints tomorrow morning.

 

Yep, that is bad.

I made the mistake last time I went to heiney thinking my axle joint with just a little play would make it. Well it made it. But I really wanted to try this trail I failed at the first time. Could not risk it, the joint was making a racket and I was lucky to get home.

Bottom line is if the joint is lose replace it.

 

I gots a sprare.

And I got about 80ft of line. High lift jack, and sand ramp. We will be able to recover any truck that gets hung

But no one is getting stuck right!

 

This.



So glad I'm dropping this off now.





My rear driveshaft. Can't wait till I get tom woods shafts.
