  1. :agree: As long as it doesn't have a rusted out frame, Build the '91 and thank yourself later. Rob L.

    Retired?

    realdiceshorty: Well It is late at night, and the Girlfriend already went to bed so.... Ahh. Now I think its time for bed.... Rob L.
  3. Suprised you don't have a few axles laying around up there. I think I might be getting close to getting one large 6 Cylinder object out of your shed though... :brows: . Rob L.
  4. Thinking about it now, I don't know why I didn't put that on my post to begin with. Afterall, the inner shaft and the D/S shaft are still connected by spiders... :fool: . But the fuel saving idea is where they were going, but overshot a tad. At least I got that right. And 2 Lo is nice to have but something tells me Jeep didn't put in the CAD for that possibility. ;) Rob L.
  5. ...Not quite... Just have to rain on my parade... :( Rob L.
  6. One FS in the midwest on CL, $300. Track lock :yes: and 3.07's... :ack: Rob L.
  7. Well done my friend. I am truely jealous. That truck is gorgeous. Wish I had the time/money to put something together like that. :thumbsup: Rob L.
  8. Is the groove where the c-clip goes in worn in any way? Is the centerpin in the carrier worn in any way? Rob L.
  9. The CAD was just Jeeps way of eliminating rotating mass in the front, like selectable hubs would. By disco-ing the axle on one side, it stops the inner half of the P/S axle from spinning, and allowed the D/S shaft to just rotate the spider gears and not the whole carrier. Which in turn, would keep the front driveshaft stationary. What is it for? To save rotating mass, and by having less stuff spinning, and slowing the truck, save fuel. Does it work? Sure, when its all in good working order. A good idea, but was executed like a Rube Goldberg contraption. :roll: Lots of crap going on, just to do one job. Over-engineered. Put the one-piece shaft in, plate 'er off and call it a job. ;) Might lose some fuel milage (Yeah right, already driving something with the areodynamics of a brick). You'll be fine with the one-piece. Rob L. :thumbsup:
  10. Where is that at? Rob L.
  11. Impressive! I have a howling noise coming from the front of the ZJ now... :roll: I am hoping it turns out to be something easy. I really hope it isn't a carrier bearing or anything I don't have the cash for that right now. Rob L.
  12. I would say that the length of the long arms, versus the drop is an advantage. Not to mention the flex gain with the long arms. Also most the time, you are getting a stronger, better replacement that will handle more trail thrashing than the stock arms and a drop bracket. Rob L.
  13. Its nice to help a newb out... They aren't all bad... ;) Rob L.
  14. We use something like this at work to fix the nut-certs in the playground equipment. Never really turned out well. They always seem to turn in the hole. Rob L.
  15. Easy Darren, this leads down a bad road... :roll: Rob L.
  16. I know Pat (Jeepcomj) has some remote resivoir jobs that he said make it ride like a caddy. Rob L.
  17. If they are tilted in(at the top, my assumption), might be a camber issue, and thats non-correctable. Your ball joints might be worn. Rob L.
  18. I mean just to get rid of it, Flatbed wrecker? Maybe break even with the driver and have him haul it for the scrap money. Rob L.
  19. Possibly. I think I might be dog-sitting though. What about the weekend after (7/31-8/1)? I am free then. Unless Whatever the girlfriend has planned for a "birthday suprise" :dunno: Falls on that weekend. Rob L.
  20. He has a TON on various threads, here is his build thread: http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2882 Also, you can click >>> ELIMINATOR Rob L. ;)
  21. :agree: Unless your planning on doing a v-8 swap later... Just plain ol' buying a 4.0L MJ is cheaper, and easier by far. Rob L.
  22. Join my clan! :brows: http://mybrute.com/team/78245 http://automan2164.mybrute.com Rob L.
  23. For some reason I am thinking a JK... Rob L.
