don't forget a relay harness too. (although I'm not sure if you need 2 of the ones in my sig or a different one)

holy crap I forgot all about that aspect! last time I drove to CO I actually pulled off the freeway for 30 minutes to let the sun set because the road pointed exactly at the blinding orb.

if you're on a 'puter there should be a "choose files" button right below your text box. there is a cap on the file size per pic (like 2 mb?). we're in the middle of writing code to auto-shrink things but it's taking longer than expected.

well, that brings up another tidbit from my experience. for super-long drives by myself (it's 12 hours between GA and MI) I try reeeeal hard not to ever drive outside of my normal awake period. If I show up late at night, so be it. better than driving tired.

great to see ya! as someone who has fought that fight, don't fold, take them to court. just make sure everything is plated/insured/and looks like it can drive.

found some closeups:

I've only seen a single design for the "comanche". not sure if they ever made a Cherokee or something like that.

maybe something is leaking along the path, letting air into the system?

once we get our photo-uploading code squared away, I think we need an official "jeep basics" thread for newbies.

I'm envious. my stetson doesn't fit at all. I guess it's for the better though since it'll stay pristine. I guess.

great game! close to the end. let's see how much of a class act the fans are to Philly. (I'm sure it'll be fine now that the cops have greased up the light poles with hydraulic fluid)

don't worry 'bout it. you'll do fine. just break up the drive with stops and eat/drink well.

yup. not my first rodeo. password reset and email sent.

very nice! I've added you into the list

it might be related to the email snafu. (and by "might" I mean highly likely) we've got our top minds on it. :) I can manually reset your password in the meantime.

also could be part of the problem. your caster is likely off.

don't even think about offset balljoints until you've got the rest of it correct. those are a desperate measure. it is far more likely that your "lift" is not put together right. do you still have stock upper control arms?

does the axle appear to be centered left-right in the truck? what track bar is there?

if you're going to the southwest, maybe look up some junkyards and bring home a stash of clean steel?

car-part.com might be able to help with junkyard searches of 4.10 axles. if I remember right I think by 05 the 4.10 KJ axle went away so you'll need to search earlier years. 95+ explorers have the disks, but earlier ones are just as strong and can be upconverted to disks. also v6 and v8 models are near-as-makes-no-difference the same axle.

remember that preference should be given to the 97+ 8.25 which is dana 44 or 8.8 in strength. the eariler one is not much better than the 35.

link?

the auto parts stores should have a plethora of adapters. just need to figure out what threads you're dealing with on each side. also the tech forum gets way more eyes for answers.

found a new one today specifically the "car reviews" https://www.youtube.com/user/RegularCars/videos

renix cherokee and comanche harnesses are near-as-makes-no-difference the same. if anything you may need to splice some wires into the rear harness if you get an XJ one. but be prepared that they are all old harnesses. and don't discount the idea of buying a whole XJ to get it (and a ton of other spare parts)
