Of course I pulled the diff cover at the JY , looks clean and in good shape to me.... Stripped the axle down and wire wheeled everything , the axle was suprisingly clean because it got saved by the 2.8 leaking oil all over the axle housing . All the bolts came out by hand once they were broken free , someone installed new ujoints / ball joints not too long ago so I think I'll just run them for now . I did put new bushings in the upper axle housing , new pinion seal , OME steering stabilizer , sway bar links , calipers and brake hoses . I guess it's time for a new camera / phone too , sorry about the picture quality ... Next on the list is getting the WJ LCAs fitted to the axle housing , anyone know the measurements of what I need to cut the steel sleeves down to ? Also does the LCA bolt on the same way as it would on the WJ ? The thread I found has no pictures anymore and the poster is M.I.A.

The second one is for a washer pump .

88Whitemanche: Just a Dana 35 Minuit : No problem , let me know how that one works out . Don : I had to get while the gettin was good , this has been a year search for a good front axle . I'll probably switch to the new axle shafts with the larger ujoints along with new seals , fluid , bushings ,ball joints , links , WJ lca , OME steering stabilizer and hub bearings / brakes .

I figured it's as good as time as any to update with my newest find as I've been down with the flu the past few days with no energy or drive to do anything but sleep . Searching Pull-A-Part they had a 86 Xj with a 2.8 and auto trans . Being couped up I figured I take a drive and see if it had a black interior and check about a 4:10 Hp dana 30 as well . It didn't have a black interior but it did have the front 4:10 axle that I picked up for $105 which is a much better price than anyone else around here .It was a chore to take out and I'm spent . It's a CAD axle but the gears are in great shape . No pictures right now but I will take some eventually .

I've got OME shocks from amazon for half of what they cost .

Thanks Don , He'll need to get some new u bolts too being they're already torqued right ?

Thanks Eagle for the tech info . Of course he doesn't have the money right now for the SYE but he does have plans on doing it once he does . I'm just trying to get him by until then and thought the ax 15 crossmember ( which I have ) would help even if I had to put spacers between the crossmember and frame rail to lower it more .

With the frame at 0 degrees the drive shaft is 16-17 degrees

My friend put a Rough Country 3 inch lift ( coils and new leaf springs) on his 2000 XJ . I took it for a drive ( I drove it before the lift and it was fine )and it has a decent driveline vibration . I have searched threads with the same issues and they either recommend a SYE (preferred) or a Tcase drop . I guess what my question is ,can I use a ax15 crossmember (with the factory drop in it ) to remedy the vibration until he can afford a SYE? Or any other recommendations would be much appreciated . Thanks in advance .

No problem . I didn't even see the tires , was there any other good sets?

So what you're saying is this^^ was all for not? lol

A group 34 battery has the posts in the same location as the standard battery , you must have been looking at a group 34r battery . I don't see why a 34 group battery wouldn't fit in the stock battery tray . I have one in my Xj that I can put in my 89 mj tommorow

Akron pull a part has one in a 93 cherokee ...

It's a legit turbo diesel , it's been on here several times . It's been for sale a long time ...

Probably a shifter cable out of adjustment or broke . The pawl may be broke but I have yet to see one that has.....

Ok , it's hard to tell sarcasm in normal text lol.

Jeepco mentions in this thread that 23 bumpers are in a warehouse with no additional info , but it's a lead .. http://comancheclub.com/topic/39619-chrome-step-bumperfoundmaybe/

I would do as eagle said , you paid to have the job done right . The only things I would add is , was it rusty where the glass is urethaned to the metal ? If it is they may not warranty their work . It could also be leaking between where the cab corner and back panel or roof meet , I d check those too .

Probably for neon lights , do they make them in burgundy / maroon ? Lol On the bright side , it wouldn't take much to fix the flaws the truck has . I'd definetly have to change to a gray interior to break up the sea of burgundy / maroon .

I'm 6'0 and had the 2 door xj rocker seats in my MJ for a SHORT while , my head rubbed the roof and it was very annoying . I found a nice pair of Comanche specific buckets and never looked back . Yes Don , I used my bench seat lower brackets on the bottom of the xj rocker bottoms .

Do a carfax and see who owned it in the past .... Should give you a good clue .
