seems like as good a reason as any to upgrade the whole rear. :yes:

they all should be avoided unless you really really need one. what are you running for lift/steering now?

I bet I've gotten 1500 miles out of the last tank of gas I dumped into the 88. course I towed it the majority of that distance. ha! :D

doesn't matter. :thumbsup:

good score man! :thumbsup:

sounds like it's time to contemplate a new pole barn/work shop. :brows:

mud in your carpet is just proof you use your jeep for its intended purpose. :D

um, ever hear of a floor mat? lol. I'm been in lots of mud. carpet is still as it was when I bought the truck (oily, stained and disgusting, but not muddy :D ) I haven't had mud flow into the truck though as some have.

:bowdown:

Why not? Brandon because it has no insulation in it. it'll be fuzzy on your feet, but there's nothing in it to keep heat at bay. the insulating padding under the stock Jeep carpet is the key. the thick rubber backing on the stock carpet also helps. your cheapest route might be to get a carpet from a junkyard MJ and power wash it at the carwash. then add in aftermarket insulation.

pretty sure indoor/outdoor carpet won't have the insulating properties you're looking for.

in my experience, replacing the radiator is never a bad thing. :thumbsup:

:waving:

now I know why I hang on to those square sockets I've never used. they're for jeep transmissions I don't own. :yes:

did you repost in the right thread? I can delete this easily, but moving it to the thread can be hit or miss.

I hate it when those innocuous muddy puddles turn into 3ft deep pits. :yes:

pretty sure my peugeot had threads, and if I remember right, they were metric.

:clapping:

I would flip the gate around backwards and maybe hit the logo with some paint. :) but then what I actually did was this:

I went with the 44/9" out of a desire for a more interesting build. if I had to do it again, I'd stick with a 30/44 and 32s. but I'd also truss the 30 and upgrade the shafts/joints inside. plus a pair of 60s mean carrying around another, what, 800 pounds of stuff? they are heavy. :ack: and I'm guessing those bigger tires will add another 300-500 pounds.

if you combine a AX-15 with a peugeot crossmember with a 1" crossmember drop it'll all balance out to normal. :thumbsup: don't buy a kit if you can make one. it's just 2 pieces of metal with holes in it. nothing complicated. or better yet, ask in the classifieds since frequently MJ kits mistakenly come with them and the owners don't use them.

if you can find an 84-86 or 94+ 2.5/2.8 XJ/MJ/YJ/TJ in the junkyard, they have an external slave. grab the bellhousing and all it's innards and you can upgrade at the same time you repair. :D

deer in the headlights. :D been there, done that.

shoulda snapped a photo. :yes:
