Yeah I never understood how to get the old stud out lol

 

Now you know! Lol I had to find out on my own it was really pissing me off not mention cold and pitch black out. Finally I poked my head up high enough and saw the stud had a bur on the other side which didn't let it drop through. But if you let the cross member down enough it just goes right out of the top.

I was cursing chrysler up and down trust me.

 

I think ill toss in a new trans mount too..might as well since its got almost 214k on it now

 

Yes that would be a great idea. My trans pan and tcase are leaking. I bought the kit to tend to the trans and I figured when I do my sye down the road I will tend to that issues... But since they are both leaking that's kind of made my trans mount mush. So after I seal them both and when I have the tcase out I'll replace mine..

Idc what people wanna say that oil contamination on rubber components won't harm them.. BS! They will get mushy and fail over time if they are covered in oil. I've seen this many times.

 

Yea ima pull a junkyard tcase and give it a full over haul along with an advanced adapters sye so I can just swap it in and a rebuilt and balanced xj front shaft

 

I'm suprised at how well this kit flexes




idk why my stupid fone keeps making the pics side ways

 

That's actuslly a damn good idea. How much could a tcase be at the JY right? But what will you do with the case on your xj now just sell it?

 

Yea im sure some one could use it. Lol. Plus i really want to study it and rebuild completly

 

to do list for now:

-cut and fold the rear
-investigate why my leaf springs are squeaking
-tcase drop
-replace shocks
-dukie disconnects
-wheel spacers
-plastidip the rockers among other things....

then back to working on performance for a while
-Taurus E-fan
-703 neon injectors
-63mm throttle body (strokedjeep.com)
- Spectre cowel intake or some thing home brewed
-full exhaust to go on soon
- maybe some hood vents....havent decided
long term:
dakota bastard pack and shackles for the rear
1.5' spacers or full 4.5 front springs
IRO adjustable LCA'S
IRO double sheer track bar
SYE
and some other projects ive got in mind that im not gonna share quite yet

 

There we go!

 

i really hope the rear settles more.... im not really diggin the rake..
and after all my searching for 33s a near new set pops up on craigs and im outa cash.......go figure

 

I like when the rear is a slight higher only because when I load the thing with tools and whatnot I don't want the cali lean going on. It will settle though. My 3inch lift at first was like 5inches over saggy stock it settled to like 3 ½

 

Just keep an eye open! You do all your own work on your jeep do what I did! I traded a days worth of work on a dudes cherokee in trade for my Baja claws!

 

yea we'll see what happens lol

ive got a nasty squeak comin outa the leafs too

 

When you put your aal in did you make sure you left all of the friction pads in there? They have a tendency to fall out when you have the leaf all apart. That's most likely your issue...
