Partially welded up the exhaust today since the rear hanger weld broke. I just did a couple 1" welds around all the joints thru-out the exhaust. Ill fully weld it all once I get the sye install and the case drop removed.

Sye will happen soon along with a new trans mount and the tnt crossmember. Then u-joints/trans kooler with a drain and fill. Then wj stuff /power steering cooler/durango box and wj power steering pump.

Whats the benefits to the WJ power steering pump?

cleenrob

higher pressure out put for more better turning. ive had the pump waiting to go on for a while,

caldwell_sean

o did not know that iv ran the drango gear box for a few years and haven't had any problems

cleenrob

Lan on buying one with taxes, mines got a ton of play in it. I think its beyond tightening the sector shaft

caldwell_sean

the only reson i did the swop was cuz i found one at picknpull that was brand new still had the NAPA part # sticker on it and they only wanted i think $25 for it.

cleenrob

nice!

this finally came in today




been fighting with the seller for almost 2 months now to get it here and he didnt include the down pipe that goes with it. will file a claim with paypal if it doesnt get sent.

welp the steering box is leaking fluid pretty bad forgot to take a picture before i wiped it off i've felt a lot of slop for a while now, and was starting to look a bit wet, at the out put shaft, but now its lost almost all the fluid. gonna durango box and c-rock spacer, and a power steering cooler

all-in-all 240k on the box aint bad hopefully i can get it fixed before my trip to k2 in feb.

stuff to do before k2:
-long arms
-sye
-spicer 760 u-joints
-durango box
-power steering cooler
-fully weld exhaust
-clean up new beefy drive shafts install new yoke side u joints
-maybe install the rusty's belly skid

cleenrob

attempted changing the axle u joints but the hub nut would not budge. gonna rent out a bay at a shop with air tools in a couple weeks and try again. it looks like theyve already got 760's in them so it should be easy once i get the shaft out.

i also tinkered with the sye'ed np231 and relized its fine. the linkage keeps the case in 4hi, i was shifting it by hand straight to neutral instead of going to 4hi, so im gonna intsall it next weekend along with the tnt cross member, beefy drive shafts, new trans mount, and remove the casedrop

layed out the rustys belly skid on the tnt cross member, idk if ill get it mounted before k2 or not since i have to fab a mount for the front of it. but the tnt side ill just drill and tap the cross member for the rear bolts.

cleenrob

i also just ordered boostwerks 231 linkage

94XjSport94

Goooooood.

JEEPERDK

hey man im wanting to do a trans cooler any specific yr explorer I should look for ?

cleenrob

Not sure. I think mines off a 94. But you can grab a cooler off of pretty much anything. If your lucky you might find an after market one. I paid like 13$ for it
