88pioneer

don't know if this should be in here or the pub, but i have the chance to buy a chryco 8.25 out of a 94 XJ with 4.10's real cheap. I'm looking at an MJ that is lifted, but has a welded 35 :ack:. the 8.25 needs brakes but i was planning on putting stronger shafts in it an a locker. I know to look for a 29 spline, but if i'm gonna rebuild it it really isn't too much of a problem Just wonderin if this seems like a good plan :cheers:

Yea i figured the vice grips would work, i cut the dust shield away already so thats done, and i guess its good i'm putting Gabriel's in it ;), Thanks for the help :cheers:

I bought some new cheapo front shocks for my XJ today, and was going to install them. I ran into the same problem i had when i switched the ones on the MJ. The bottom bolts come off easy, but the nut for the top is always stuck to the stud on the shock. On the MJ i could just hold the dust cover part an keep it from spinning and they came right off, but the on the XJ the dust cover just spins. I was either thinking of clamping on a set of vice grips an wedging them into the wheel well an trying to get the nut off the top of the shock. Looking for anyone who has gone through this and what they did. Thanks :cheers:

:rotf:

yea, towing people out of there spots is always fun, i think he learned his lesson when he found his truck out in no mans land in the parking lot. :teehee:

i'm liking that color

that black with the chrome grill makes it look damn sexy :brows: , might have to paint mine like that.

an i think Wade was looking to get in on this so he'll probly sign up too

IN 1.) Jeepcomj 2.) Cdn Glenwood 3.) pingpong 4.) 88pioneer just for the boxes, not bed sides

i am still definitely in for the tailight boxes

i would want the quarter guards, but having a long bed i would be out :oops:

:agree: with jpnjim :thumbsup:

i would definitely be in, was looking into making some myself but this would be a whole lot better than what i could make

I like the original front but color matched like the eliminators are. When i get my 90 i'm painting the grill, headlight doors, an all the other front end stuff red

Try looking up hell creeks stuff. There a member here an have some good stuff. Thats where i'm buying from :thumbsup:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1989-JEE ... 3ca8f5821b says AX 15 but from what i've read it should be an Ax 5, pretty nice though

31's an stock wheels would fit, you might rub your lower control arms. 31's an after market wheels will rub anything on the outside, fender flares, inner fenders.

sounds a lot like when my altenator went in my cherokee, it sputtered and stayed running above 2000 but once it backed off it shut off. Blew a lot of black smoke too, might be your problem, not sure

every once in a while i see comanche decals on ebay, they usually come and go

1999Mj, no i'm not doing it anymore, found another Manche thats road ready so the 87 is gonna go up for sale soon.

ive got motor, trans, an t case for an 88, PO said it had about 90000 miles on it

o ok, damn thought i might get lucky. Alright thanks for the info

Just had a quick question. I'm going to look at a 91 swb 4.0 4x4 5 spd and was wondering what the gear ratio is most likely going to be. I know the older 4.0's ran 3.07's but can't remember if there was any difference in the newer models. Not totally sure on axles, but most likely gonna have the 35. thanks in advanced :cheers:

North Jersey, some pretty good wheelin around here, if you know the secret spots :D . The MJ should be up in a few weeks but got the XJ for now. Would really like to get out there an meet some of the fellow MJ owners around me. Hopefully i'll be on the road soon.
