I have a budget 3 incher that the PO installed from rough country and its ok. it squeaks. and to post pics, it took my awhile, just make an account of photo bucket. then download the pics to that account. then you can copy and paste the image address toin the thing on the too bar on this website that looks like a paper clip with a green plus underneath it and then push enter. you won't see the photo until you actually post it. all it will be is a link thats blue.

Just stripped the last bell housing bolt. Damn.....

Ya it was smooth sailing until the very last bolt, the inverted torx, stripped. I took a brake after that and I'm going to get at it again soon. Probably just going to weld a nut in it and do it that way

Mine closes by just slamming it shut, you don't have to pull the handle at all

What does IMHO mean and TOB?

After I swap on my 8.8, I'm going to have to get 4.10s in my Dana 30. Should I just pull out this Dana 30 from my cherokee and build it a little while it's out and out 4.10s in it and then swap it in?

10 feet lol. It's in my garage

i got my pats vehicle. I got a ax15. I'm taking that out today. I'm going to put all new seals in it and clean it up and then I'm going to swap it in. I need to know all the stuff thats needed for this swap. I got the cross member, shifter, case, and linkage. I have no idea what needs to be changed or bought for this. Thanks all!

Does anyone have any recommendations for shocks after I do my 8.8 swap? I'm doing the alexia lift so it 6 inches in the back and 5.5 in the front. I have everything but the shocks

I would like to put on some new parts on the ax15 before I get it in like a new slave cylinder and main seal. Is there a rebuild kit that anyone would recommend? Or any other ideas?

1995 Manual Transmission XJ?if it's a 4.0L it would have 3.07's if it's a 2.5L it would have 4.10's If it's really a D44, it must have been swapped in my a previous owner. Factory installed XJ Dana 44's were long long gone by 1995, so it's anyones guess what gears it has. More likely it's an Dodge 8.25" axle then with the manual trans, it's 3.07's, or 4.10's depending on which engine it has. Good luck and keep posting pics Ya it's a manual 5 speed with an ax15 (that's why I got it) and it has a 4.0. I thought it was a Dana 44 just cause it looked bigger then a 35 but I really had/have no idea

Just took her for a spin around the block. She runs good but the battery is totally shot. I was hoping it had 4.10s but both of the tabs that say on the diff are gone so I don't know what It has

Just got myself a 1995 2 door 4x4 Cherokee with a manual tranny. Using it for parts. The doors are manual windows and locks so I'm leaving those on but I'm taking out the motor tyranny Seats and brake booster. Pics coming tomorrow

So I just got a 95 2 door manual 4x4 xj for 650$. Runs and drives good. 228000 miles. I want to pull the buckets, ax15, and the motor and make it a 4.7l (maybe just rebuild it and swap it). The doors aren't electric so I don't want those. What else should I yank out? It has a Dana 44 but I already have a ford 8.8. Should I do the motor swap? And any suggestions on pulling the tranny? I've never done anything like this so suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks Pictures coming soon. I'm still driving back with my dad right now.

There's one on c list right now out of a wrangler. I'm up in Bellingham

Well I'm going to go pick up that Cherokee this Saturday. Yay!

I'm mig Weldin it, I'm just gonna go with some .30 wore and see what happens. What thickness do talk yhink it's around?

Well I can get the jeep not turns out that we have a friend with property, and I can keep it there but I'll have to be working in the dirt but whatever. But now the guy isn't responding so I'm crossing my fingers he hasn't sold it.

I know i have a lsd but what is a friction modifier?It's an additive for gear oil for axles with LSD You can either buy oil WITH it, Or buy a bottle of it seperately & add it yourself. RTV silicone works great for a gasket. Did you weld your tubes to the housing? Yea, We just cold welded it & did a few 1" welds How are they holding up?

So i found an ax15. It would come with everything. Shifter, linkage, cross member, transfer case, used but recently new clutch and the tranny. It's 500$ but is still internal slave. Any thoughts anyone? I'm still working on my dad

What fluid should I put in my ford 8.8? Should I use a gasket, or the make your own gasket sealant? I've watched some videos on how to weld the tubes to the housing, does this sound right? Preheat the housing (I don't know how Much), weld 2-3 inches at a time changeing sides and spots each time. Let cool slowly by wrapping in blankets or towels.

Thanks, I'm trying to convince my dad to let me get a parts Cherokee but he doesn't want another jeep sitting around. Wonder why? Lol
