truly amazing condition. - like a time-capsule!

that is truly unfathomable to me. lookin at the pics now. hope everyone's all right.

it's physically hurting me not to go look at this. http://victoria.en.craigslist.ca/cto/2383756014.html

the chevy drop-shackles that were on the back had another set of holes 1-1/2 an inch up so today i changed that which brought the rear down 3/4 of an inch and i am happier with its stance now for the time being. (thanks for the idea, george). also put in a new stereo today which makes me much happier. so with the 4 suburban leafs and the mj over-loads and these shackles, in this cofiguration , with soa it sits at 4 1/2" at the back. this is on 32s i am dreaming of a well-done bed-bob. also ordered some new switches, so my interior lights will actually come on when i open the doors.

I'm guessing that the area where the seal seats ( just inside the tube from the pumpkin) is a larger diameter (or smaller) than where the old seal was (just inside from the vacuum disconnect opening?

you gentlemen have been gurus. thank you. :bowdown: :bowdown: is any dremelling or grinding needed or will it just tap right in ?

so here's some embarassment. i got the axle seal and dropped it off at the shop with the one piece axle. mechanic says its wrong and won't fit. everyones in a hurry to get the day over and weekend to begin. so he just installs it as if it was the old, 2 piece one. now he's gone for a week and i see oil leaking out. I'm thinking that he wasnt installing the seal in the apropriate location. the part # for the seal is right (11771). i understand it to go just in from the pumpkin ? if anyone could give me some specific ( and i do mean specific, lol) instructions for this , it would be greatly appreciated.

rubicon auto-disconnecting sway bars. ------ push of a button!

yup. smaller u-joints in that particular '95.

boycotted it years ago (mostly for privacy reasons), but i always like to post this when the topic comes up. http://www.albumoftheday.com/facebook/

excellent write-up.thank you. i just happen to have a 95 parts xj so I'm looking forward to seeing how this works. looks identical to the wj one that was shown.

that looks like excellent stuff. - may have to get some for next time I'm doing a "fix-up".

can someone post the link or pics that show the plumbing for the xj distribution block mod plz? -the one that looks like this (but for the xj) : http://home.comcast.net/~MrJTime/Jeep/R ... 0Valve.JPG i have been search for an hr. and will definitely save it this time (promis-lol). thanks , shawn.

at that price, buy both of them in case your front ratio is a different one!

if it's a 91 or 92 then it's gonna be HO.

i see tons of potential. that could be a great find (depending on the money). is / was that an eliminator? year ?

thanx devon. i left vancouver a couple months ago and been working at home on the sun-coast. trying to stay here for the summer.

i ended up doing the suburban springs ( got them free from a local club (weekendwheeling) member. they are from a 3/4 ton so i used 4 leafs from the pack (including the main) plus the mj over-load.in that configuration they gave me 0" lift but give an excellent ride. these picks are with 32s.

oxygen sensor- mines been doing that too and that was what was told to me.

thank you roger, will find out what I'm dealing with tomorrow i guess. been waiting for an excuse to upgrade to the 1 piece axle anyway so things are already looking up. hoping to get some joints that will last is all.

very cool. - i did write that # down from your build thread, but i didnt get (understand) the NOS part. ----- will grab it in the morning. -thanks again! :cheers:

i have the axles from the 95 out and waiting in the shop. ----- drivers side needs a u joint and the other is fine. i can't tell by eye if the joints are any bigger than the ones in the 86 but i understand them to be.. i saw another different part # in reference to the seal needed for the pass-side somewhere in a thread, but can't find it with the search. my local supply store consists of NAPA so am hoping to be able to go in and give them a #, so if anyone can chime -in, plz do so. this truck has been seeing a lot of hard use lately and I'm wondering if i should be looking at the spicer u-joints. -again, anyone who wants to chime-in, - feel free. thanks, shawn.

still dead ? well, you never know these days.
