We wouldn't have to start all over. I save our data once a week.

I added a pic to the post so there'd be a little less confusion. :D Welcome aboard!! :wavey:

Swap out the carrier for a full locker or aftermarket posi and the Explorer 8.8 will take pretty much anything you can throw at it. The carrier, spiders, and center pin are the typical failure points (though they are still very hard to break).

I often wonder why other sites have such a limited selection. Of course, then there are some that have like 5 billion smilies. :hmm: No no, it's something I really should learn. I just wish there was someone next to me that could point at the screen and say "click here", "now click here", "Ahhhh! don't click THAT!!". I could seriously benefit from some personal tutoring or at least some flash tutorials that show what's going on. It's like trying to learn a foriegn language when all you have are books in that language with nothing to translate.

It wasn't "included", it was simply free online. Our host is working on some forum templates that would be available for a small monthly fee. When they come out I'll see what they are and how much they charge and we can think about it then. I may be willing to pay a couple bucks for something a bit more user friendly (meaning you don't need to be a computer geek to make changes). There's tons of research to be done before even contemplating voting on anything.

You going to add rock rails to the new Jeep before the trails or after the dents? Not that anything but Scouts rust in Colorado. :D

Just 'cause someone owns a big speaker box doesn't mean they have to turn it all the way up all the time. Bass is awesome when the song calls for it. Don't be hatin' on the bass. :jump:

Just doing my job. :D

Nope, I can't view them, so he shouldn't have been able to either.

Nope, but it would fix his speedometer. The stock gears for a 4.0L/stick are 3.07s. 3.07s suck in a major way. I would go with 3.55s. This site has some calculators on it. http://www.4lo.com/4LoCalc.htm Lower RPMS don't necessarily directly lead to better gas mileage since the engine now has to work harder to maintain the speed.

Ok, I am me again. :D

I got help from our website hosting company and we're back to normal. Next step is to update the site and for me to get some tutoring on how to run this stuff better.

Yup. I'm just a regular guy now. All my "super powers" are gone. I'm working on it though. --Pete (ex-admin)

If all you wanted is a correct speedo, it's much easier than swapping axles or gears. See this site: http://gojeep.willyshotrod.com/HowtoSpeedoGears.htm --Pete (ex-admin)

I'd love to, but he is me now. --Pete

Well, at least he didn't crash the site completely. So far it's just a pain in the butt for me. I'm working on getting in touch with our hosting guys. --Pete

And I just now discovered that one of my dogs couldn't hold it and went poo in the basement. Oh yeah, it's going to be one of those days. :rant: Life-->

Damn. As if I had NOTHING better to do with my life today. :hateputers:

There's no minimum post count for posting pics. Welcome to the club! :wavey:

Pretty much, yes. There are some things that XJs had that MJs didn't (like a washer bottle with a second pump for the rear window).

So I found this on the web and I have this on my axle tube: 610758-2 and 7 22 7 80 and it's very poorly stamped too. FWIW the cover has a date in '95. Oh, and I noticed my U-joints aren't the same brand. :hmm: Which I guess is fine, seeing as I have to replace the one side anyway.

On the cover eh? I'll have to go clean that off some more. This is the axle going into my 90. I bought it a while ago and don't remember which year it was. Might be handy when buying parts. :D

Where would I find an identifying mark that tells me the year? I've found lots of marks here and there.
