What's your mileage and do you have the original catalytic converter?

Yes, I remember that shaft. I considered it but it was too short for moi. Coasting is when the pinion angle gets most severe, so the rattling noise makes sense. Just keep your foot in it at all times. :yes: Of course you can't do that, but the leaf clamps should keep the pinion droop in check until you get your new steel shaft built. I'm a fan of alloy drive shafts though.

Thanks for posting the pics. Those ears are big. I didn't know you had fitted an alloy drive shaft? Must have missed that in your build threads. By the way it's machined, the drive shaft yoke looks like it doesn't allow too severe of a pinion operating angle.

NICE Avatar! :cheers:

I blocked this loser's posts long ago so I didn't have to read this kind of crap. Glad he's over on NAXJA.

Looks like the rear axle is pushed forward about 2" due to frame rot. Or something. Plastic fender flares look rotted. POS. Scrap value.

Got a pic of your pinion yoke setup Alex? Nice video too. :cheers:

Be glad it's easy to get to. :thumbsup:

I just changed mine yesterday. Fortunately all four bolts came out. I would not drill through the frame top except if I had to. I'd try to drill out the old bolts then retap the weld nuts first.

Congrats. You and Pete are among the estimated 15% of people immune to rashes caused by urushiol sap contact on your dermatitis. Heredity certainly has something to do with this I'm sure. Wish I was one of this elite group. :cry:

Does the 94 Explorer have disks on the rear 8.8 Jim? I think they started in 95 IIRC. :hmm: That would be a good swap for your MJ too.

One of the first things I did when I bought my MJ originally was to install a Mike Leach header, junked the dimple bend, ran 2.5" pipes all the way back from the muffler, and a K&N intake. It made a difference, not great, in performance and actually provided a bit better mileage. Unfortunately I had no before and after dyno readings for these mods. About a year later, the stroker went in, along with a 2001 intake manifold and Unichip. Along with the new stroker the same exhaust and K&N went back in. For all this I do have dyno readings here: http://www.jeepstrokers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=387 Pretty good results. My conclusion from all this is that exhaust mods by themselves really don't do much to justify the expense, especially on a N/A Renix, w/o other enhancements. When these other things are done, that's when the free-flow exhaust, along with better intake capacity and tuning to balance it all out makes it worthwhile. And I agree with Cruiser: there's no way a crush like that restricting exhaust flow on any engine can do any good. Except on two-smokers.

It's a boost gauge. Probably using just the vacuum side unless it's just an ornament. :yes:

Me too. Thanks. :cheers:

Please do. Felt a bit better this afternoon and went out to the garage to install my new ADDCO sway bar. Started sweating and the wife came out and ran me out of there. She was right, I'm paying for it now. Better give it another couple of days. I sent her out for some Technu, seems to help quite a bit. What really helps the most though is several doses of Miller High Life. :yes:

Yes, it "flows" very nicely.

This is the worst I've had since I was a kid. Went camping as a Boy Scout around 11 or 12 years old and breathed in smoke from firewood covered with poison ivy. Had to be hospitalized for two weeks because I swelled up like a blowfish inside and outside. You would think I would know better by now. The itching has subsided a bit and my eyes are opening up a little - feel much better. Of course the steroids keep me wired up all night, but still better than the constant itching.

Best survival course I took was in the Philippines, the 5-day JEST (Jungle Environment Survival Training) out of Subic Bay. No food, you ate what you could trap, snare, or forage using only tools created available in the jungle. Snakes, fish, monkeys, native plants, whatever. The local indigenous natives called Etas ran and taught the course. Very rare to see an Eta over 5' tall. I loved the course and aced it. And there were no plants that could be toxic to humans from simply rubbing against it. Did other survival courses in Guam and Korea too, never caught anything from a stupid plant. Why are they here?

Cut down and hauled away about fifteen scrub trees, about 10'-15' feet high out back about five days ago. They were entangled with vines that didn't look like poison oak. WRONG again. Two days later blisters start appearing on my forearms, then spread to my legs, face, privates, etc. Crap. Stuck it out with baths and calamine until with eyes swelled almost shut this morning and crazy itching everywhere I went to the doc for a steroid shot for swelling and after care meds. After midnight now here and the itching has calmed down quite a bit, but I'm wide awake. But I'll take it vs. the itch. God supposedly created everything living thing for a purpose. I figure poison ivy, oak, sumac, and the rest were created to punish certain stupid humans susceptible to these toxic plants who roam about His other creations for punishment. What else could it be? Unless for goat food. :( This bites.

FELT roadkill?

Man, that would look great with a cowl hood.
