now edited for cleanliness. :D

when retrieving axles from explorers, I usually slice through the shackles to make it easier to pull the axle out. :thumbsup:

yeah. too bad there aren't oil leaks in the typical rust locations. :(

side of the road ingenuity at that. :D I had a smaller catch bottle in place, but when I finally had the truck out on the freeway for hours on end (heading to Moab), the little bottle quickly filled and the blowby air pressure spewed oil all over the place.

yup. axles are easy to remove. :D

the hole might have been used to drain the axle

the inner fenders are sorta structural in an MJ. being unibody and all.

an AAL pushes the truck up, away from the axle. :thumbsup: It generally had more arch than the rest of the pack and pushes up the ends of the leafpacks.

mine was so bad that i ran a vacuum hose from the valve cover to a jug, and then a line from the jug on to the air filter. It caught the oil pretty well.

Hopefully it's not due to a rusted out floor causing too much extra movement. :( If not, then this it the procedure for adjusting the linkage. :thumbsup:

I tend to leave mine at 3 or 5 megapixels. Don't really need anything bigger unless you plan on making posters. :D

the alloy Grand Cherokee rims will fit better. those steel ones would only work properly with a 3" lift.

backspacing can be a deal breaker sometimes. :(

the leafs should have been Metric ton leafs and you could have sold them. You've got an open diff. in a (funnctioning) posi diff, both drums would turn in the same direction no matter what you were rotating.

which wheels? 31s on no lift with aftermarket rims (typically ~4" of backspacing) will contact the fender flares something fierce. Stock Jeep rims will work better, but then you'd have rubbing on the lower control arms (which is actually easier to work around than flare contact).

Canon DSC-T10 It was a fairly high end unit for pocket cameras. We were sold on it when we found it takes a hair over 2 second to be ready to shoot after you slide open the front cover. :D The previous camera took forever. No complex moving lens guards, no extending meechanical lens housing. Nice and simple means less stuff to break And a Zeiss lens too. :banana: Had it for a few years now. Used ones should be fairly affordable these days. I was very impressed with how well it snapped shots with a blinding foreground

treat it like lifting your truck. Don't rush in and buy something cheap just because it's all you can afford right now. Save up a bit and get something you will truly appreciate. Used ones should be that much more. Just be sure to get at least 6-7megapixels if you go SLR. dang I love that magnifying glass setting. :D

character? I still don't understand. Are you romanticizing the hardships that photographers dealt with for decades? You can easily set a modern SLR to full manual and go nuts. :thumbsup: There's no need to use all the wizbang technology. It's nothing for me to snap 30+ shots of the same exact thing looking for just the right combination of light and composition. the not-quite-right photos cost me nothing and I can see what went wrong and reshoot while the scene is still available to me. I shot film for many a year and will NOT be going back. :fs1: But have fun standing in the store going "aww, that wasn't quite what I wanted..." :cheers:

if you've got the 5sd AX-5, then you're likely (but not guaranteed) to have 4.10 gears in them. and that goes a long way to living with bigger tires. the bigger the tire, the wussier your engine will feel.

If there's nothing wrong with the engine, I personally would do the timing chain and leave it at that. :thumbsup:

the 2.5L isn't a problem. :thumbsup: Just don't go bigger than a 31" tire. 30" would be better. Do you know what gearing you have in your axles? if not, which transmission do you have? For a 3" kit, I recommend longer lower control arms and an adjustable track bar. If you're short on cash, you could do a 1.75" puck up front and an AAL in the rear. Over 2" and you start to affect the geometry of the front suspension pieces.

My old 85.5 Escort had metal cranks that mounted in a similar fashion. Of course, I know this because it snapped in half on me.

Might be something in the HELP section at the auto parts store, but I can't say for sure. I've always just hit up the junkyard. :D

are you looking for just the handle? or the guts inside the door?

off topic, but what's the build date on your 92?
