Bummer. it would seem the rubber isolator has failed.

dang! you have been busy! when does car show season start?

yeah Ron isn't known for shipping things. like ever.

it's still cool as all get out!

definitely Ron's shop.

central air! I kinda doubt an swamp cooler would do much when it's 80% humidity outside. give up red meat? or give up sugar?

I bet I could have aced that in 8th grade. but I'm not in 8th grade anymore though. most of that has leaked out my earholes.

I see a red X. does that mean I failed the test?

no, but mostly because the CC shrinks images down to the point you can't read such tiny print.

pretty sure UPS is willing to bridge that gap

gots me a new ad to display

ZJs have a low pinion Dana 30 so it wouldn't work anyways in an original MJ axle.

don't bother with an old Cherokee, go to the junkyard and pick out any bucket seat from a newer car that your butt likes. they are all about the same level of difficulty to install. usually a bit of 1x1 tube steel can do it.

I see tiny beds and all I can think about is the loss of interior space a comparable sized SUV would have given me. but they are popular, there's no denying it...

The XJ shackle is good for 1/2 inch. It's such a small amount and brings with it the chance of inversion coming down off a lift, that I don't advise it. Go with blocks or a mix of flatter leafs.

I see no reason that wouldn't work great. except for the aforementioned permanence, which is honestly not all that permanent.

I don't think I've ever see one other than in that pic.

and yet I'm swapping out the d35 that's under my trailer. it's possible I've got some deeeeeeep seated resentment about my original 88's d35 trying its darnedest to strand me on the side of the road.

that includes a truss, yes? I turned mine into a smilie face with 30" tires.

yes, you should absolutely do that! also, I'm moving this over to Epic Tech.

love it so far. though I highly suggest checking out a few pictures of MJs with the vents removed. they all look... odd. also, don't forget to add a vent back in somewhere. those aren't just for looks! the Liberty 8.25 is a couple inches wider than the dana 35. the AW4 is a proven transmission. it's not quite as efficient as a more modern trans, but that just means you add more gear or more HP to compensate. unless you're hitting the tracks and setting 1/4 mile times, you'll never notice the difference.

I assume they sent the wrong box?

aside from the d35, I've had that very same plan for a while now
