Oh, I forgot about that. I did use the longer hose kit just to make sure that it fit. It was definitely longer than needed, but I don't know if the shorter one would have worked or not. There is also a kit with the longer hose available.

It comes with multiple adapters. They do sell individual adapters and hose if you can figure out what to get. Summit racing had the whole kit in stock for delivery the next day, so that's the way that I went. https://www.summitracing.com/search?SortBy=BestKeywordMatch&SortOrder=Ascending&keyword=716130IR

The later ones use a different line configuration. I used the Advance Adapter braided line kit that allowed me to use the later slave with my original master.

Mine too. 😂 She did go inside the lobby though. All of those eyes looking at you. 😂

You can save it to YouTube and post a link. You can even make it so that it doesn't show up to anyone that doesn't have the link, if you want. Like this one: My wife busted me playing around.

Tonopah NV, the scariest motel I've ever seen. 😬 Directly next door to an old cemetery.

Luckily for myself, my wife enjoys cooking and does the majority of it. I'll usually cook breakfast or something on the grill. I have however started making sourdough things, luckily with the help of my wife, most times. After struggling with stomach issues much of my life, I figured out that breads and such aren't my friends and limited them for years. Until my friend that is apparently smarter than my doctors suggested that I try sourdough. It's been a game changer, we've made bagels, waffles, (regular or savory with cheese and jalapeno), pizza dough, Bao buns and she's made focaccia bread. The waffles and bagels are really easy and the rest not too bad. We usually make a double batch and freeze the rest. If you have trouble with regular breads, I highly recommend that you try it! https://littlespoonfarm.com/sourdough-bagels-recipe/ https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2019/06/27/sourdough-waffles

Good question. I was told that my 1988 slave/bearing would work when I swapped to the internal slave AX15 25 years ago and it worked fine. Hard to say if the Timken is actually any better or comes out of the same Chinese plat as the rest these days.

I know that they are common in other makes. Looking at one compared to a conventional one, it does seem like they would be more difficult to seal, you've got a donut shape to work with. I've had two bad internals, always the slave that fails. At least the first lasted over 100,000 miles. The last 10,000. I've never had a throwout bearing completely fail out of nowhere, most seem to get by for years even after that start to get noisy. I do remember that the original assembly was metal vs the plastic ones that are now available. I still am skeptical that Jeep would have engineered the system if it wasn't problematic, but if you're happy with it, great!

The internal slave in my LUK kit lasted 10,000 miles before catastrophically failing. It made me so mad after it ruined our trip that I did the external swap. Even new, they were failure prone enough that Jeep redesigned and changed to the external setup. 😡

Thread cutting nut, auto body supply store for sure, possibly hardware store. https://sharkind.com/product/90171-thread-cutting-nut-1-4-stud-size-200pk/?srsltid=AfmBOoom_gWt8nX9g4Ty-Dj2PFzfecwEkb1afTsaBGrsejFqxMYCxNsg

Hey @EUREKA, I sent you a PM

The junk yard situation is a joke. There's never a junk XJ for sale when you need one. My friend in Medford just sold a WD Comanche that had a bad engine for $300. I was actually in town with the Ram, but also with the wife... I really don't need anymore rigs, but it was temping for the price just incase something like this happens.

I used the Advance Adapter kit as shown in the video. I would have gladly used used Jeep hard parts if I could have found them readily available locally. By the time I pieced it all together and paid a bunch of separate shipping, it wasn't worth it. The AA kit allows the use of the original clutch master with a stainless braided line and adapter to the new slave. I did use a new BCA throughout bearing because the AA one looked kind of cheap. I actually even bought a brand new AX15 from AA and swapped it out at the same time. I don't think that it cost much more than rebuilding my high mileage one would have. We drove home 500 miles without a clutch on that trip.

I bought a NOS 95-96 booster setup. It worked perfectly with a few small modifications, mostly due to the cruise and automatic transmission on the XJ. The Bendix 9 did throw in a few extra curve balls.
