Ahhh. Sooo jealous of those door panels. I want them so bad but it's a lot harder finder four panels versus two.
Interested to find out your thoughts on that LSD driving wise. I'm a little iffy about rocking two auto lockers with a stick and an LSD is better than an open front...

I have yet installed them but I could imagine with just one in the rear is already a job to handle....
Once I heard about these lsd's I had to have my hands on them....
As far as the manual panels and regulators...I had just seen a 97+ 4 door with the tan interior with manual doors...

I'm not sure if it fits in the pre 96 xjs but it's big enough for the 97+ plastic tank...
Install? The first time was a b**** but since I knew what I was getting myself into before this time around it wasn't too much of a headache....
Always good to have an extra hand to help out to

So the throw out bearing finally gave out....
It literally came out in pieces....
Finally found out why I was leaking oil...rubber grommets from valve cover wasn't properly seated...and I did my first sye...did it in about an hour not too bad of an install...

Yeah the snap rings weren't too bad...
Luckily I prepared and bought some craftsman snap ring pliers for about $13 each and picked up a 1/2 craftsman impact gun for $50 from a guy on Craigslist...
I picked up a driveshaft from a v8 zj I'm going to try that out today after work...if not I'll have to measure and have one made...
