    only for NPT pipe threads (fittings that use the threads for sealing). I don't know what type of connectors the clutch line uses, but teflon tape is not to be used on fittings that seal on the flared end inside.

    general rule of thumb is an XJ aal will lift an MJ half as much.

    I like how the seller claims that the "previous owner" did the work. :rotf:

    wow. :ack:

    I re-wrapped mine with a leather kit.

    Just to be sure, what are you basing this thought on? I hope it's not just because the little 4wd light is stuck on. You wouldn't be the first to have made that assumption. :D

    That's a unique floor fix. :D

    whoops. XJ, MJ, we all know I can't tell the difference. :rotf: still, I never had that problem with the BFGs in my MJ when it was 2wd with an empty bed. Something different about your Jeep. not sure what it is. :dunno:

    squealing a tire peg-leg style is actually pretty easy with a manual trans (all you need is to shock-load it with the clutch pedal to break that initial traction) and isn't generally a good indicator that you have enough gear. Especially so with pickups.

    It can be a wise thing to have separate street tires and wheeling tires. :thumbsup:

    nothing's 100% with Jeep. :D in 86 it was a 207 or a 229. and there's always the chance a 242 was swapped in. Son't forget that there are different kinds of 231 too, i.e.: 21 and 23 spline inputs.

    It's advice that's sig worthy. :D

    It's going to be pretty straightforward. Trim off the leaf perches and weld on a control arm bracket kit from one of the aftermarket sources (don't bother with stock MJ brackets, get the stronger stuff). The axles should be about the same width as mine.

    I believe it's a gasket from a 97+ XJ. :thumbsup:

    true dat

    almost always. had a vibe in the liberty that happened at similar speeds and it was a dried up rear U-joint. Curse those non-greasable joints! :fs1:

    Unfortunately, no other factory rig is that massive, has an available diesel and 4wd, and comes with a solid front axle. props to Ford for making something worthwhile. :D

    bearings can sometimes be easy to diagnose. just jack up that corner and wiggle and spin the tire looking for extra movement or noise. :thumbsup:

    vibes around 50 mph can sometimes be tire issues. :dunno:

    The only really important thing is that you support the new end. you can't leave the muffler hanging in space. you can sorta see in this pic where I have the end of the tailpipe suspended by the rear hanger.

    I believe Wade's numbers are just the 4x4 models.
