..nice man... keep up the good work iam really interested to see how this thing turns out

dang a drive in? that would be cool.. i saw it though with my gf and her friend last tues.. it was great

yea its a clean motor... and i have to pick the pistons up tommorow from bubbas hahaha.. this shop was off in the back of some alley with these 2 huge guys listening to banjo music...i dropped em off and ran

gotta get the pistions pressed on today, then it should be done tonight

iam running spacers on my 8.8, i know of a few guys with em and they havent had problems with them

just go out and meet em in person lol most people lie on those things anyways

that was pretty cool, a girl did somethin like that at my church once

hahaha man, if i never rebuild another motor in my life id be happy

wish you woulda told me before i bought another haha.. yea i found out its supposed to be there... i have extra now..

looks cool other than those rear flares... is it gonna be a serious offroad vehicle? if so id take all the flares off

well for 33s a 8.25 should be fine and ive swapped xj axles onto my mj.. the xj is spring over and a little bit narrower than a manches ...youd have to get new perches and move them out about 2" or so..

oh thanks for the help... i guess ill go forth with this build... using the best block i just got a little worried seein that hole in both haha... but it makes the most sence that it would be a lubrication hole.. thanks for the help again

well in that pic above.. you can't see a hole only because i think the angle at which the picture was taken makes it to where you can't see the hole.. now that i have 2 4.0 blocks iam guessin this is a lubrication hole for the timing chain..

yea i put it on ebay already and just got a 44 open carrier...

ok.. either i have HORRIBLE LUCK... or this hole is supposed to be there... i just picked up this block yesterday tore it down today and to my great anger and suprise that same hole is there in the same damn spot... Image Not Found Image Not Found now i think it has to be there for a purpose...and that purpose has to be to lube the timing chain the timing chain cover is sealed against the block and the oil pan so that has to be the reason for the hole... so i just wasted more money.. anyone need a 4.0 block?

yea ill be doin lots of rock crawling and lots of articulation ...ill just sell it for a open carrier

well i got another motor to rebuild... since that one above had a hole in the front of the block... this one is ALOT better.. Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found it was 50 bucks... hope it works better than that other piece.. anyone need a paper weight? :brows:

looks like fun... i miss fishin with my uncle down at the gulf of mexico

well i just realized you can't use a lockright in a limited slip carrier.... i have 2 options sell the lockright i just bought... or sell the carrier.. is a factory tj limited slip any good?

yea.. now i need to know how to get the lsd spider gears and crap out i got the roll pin and center pin out but the sider gears are stayin...

well once again i answered my own question....

hey guys, i just bought a TJ 44 not a rubi.. it was a regular TJ with a 44 in the rear.. i bout the ring and pinion and carrier.. to use in the front of my mj in my 44... anyways i got a lockright for it and was about to put it all in and realized this carrier looks weird... is it limited slip already?? and how do i get that damn center pin out? hahaha Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found

everytime i find a parts xj the front clip is gone... and the JY i go to must suck because they never have any new xjs.. and only 1 mj

his j10 is in pretty good shape theres a little rust on the passenger fender.. but fenders can be replaced.. the floors are good as far as i saw the bed is good... and as you see it drives good he traded his xj straight up for it..

went wheelin at a local spot i call "campbell" here's a few pics of the day out with my sister jennifer and brother in law andrew and their dog doc. some flexin before they got there here they come in his '82 j10 after some flexin we went further to the back... i had to go around that.. and that few more poser shots.. about all it could do andrew started on the washouts.. my sis and doc watching takin a ride... OH NO! hes lettin her drive! sittin around.. i have some vids... ill load up they take awhile
