  1. It does with Cherokees. When I did my ax15 swap I used a 95 pedal and assembly in my 87 comanche
  2. We still need to meet at Walker someTime bro
  3. This Sunday I'm planning on pulling out my 8.8 and takin it in on Monday to the driveline shop to get my clutch packs replaced. Thought about doing a locker, but it's only 225$ for parts and labor so I'm going that route
  4. So I'm just gonna have my clutch packs replaced. My local driveline shop told me 225$ total to do and only take a few hours so I'm gonna do that
  5. Maybe but I'd like to stay LSDHow about a Truetrac or the clones of them? I think Powertrax makes a helical gear LSD now for not too much. Even a Truetrac can be had for a decent price if you know a dealer. I preach upgrades over repairs. But if you want to do it cheap, I'd just go to the boneyard and find a lower mile Exploder and pull the carrier out of it and steal the clutch packs. Clutch LSDs to me are pretty much a waste of time and money. Something like this? https://m.summitracing.com/parts/dtl-913a561 and could I instal this myself or does everything have to be set up again and shimmed? Yeah, that one. The Powertrax clone is this one: http://www.rustysoffroad.com/powertrax-grip-pro-ford-8-8.html (I wouldn't buy it from them and a better price can be had if you look around) Unfortunately it does require a partial gear setup as it replaces the carrier. Basically measure current backlash, and shim this one to be the same. You would also need a new set of carrier bearings and a shim kit. If you're paying a gear place to do it they should not charge a lot, as it is much quicker to do this than a full gear setup. Disclaimer, I've never installed one in an 8.8, nor done any gear setup work or similar on an 8.8, and therefore I am not aware if there is any nuances or issues with doing a carrier swap in the 8.8. lol I'll stop by my local driveline shop tomorrow and ask for some pricing. Hopefully it won't be too much
  6. We don't have any smog tests so I don't care about that. I mostly just want more room and simplicity
  7. Can I just run a cone filter right on the throttle body? Trying to save space. Want to get rid of the air box. If so, what do I do with the vacuum lines and other assorted hoses? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. So got the OTK aligned. Drives pretty good. Still pulls to the right. They also fixed my front pinion angle and trackbar cus I couldn't get it perfect. Cost 220$ so wasn't to bad. My front driveshaft needs to be lengthened 2 inches now too. And my clutch packs in my 8.8 are bad as well so I'll need to get that fixed before it starts getting icy round here also tried the roadkill zip tie wire separator for my first time and I like it!

  10. Can anyone recommend the best clutch packs? I don't really know what to buy
  11. Maybe but I'd like to stay LSD
  12. My clutch packs gave out on my 8.8. I'm trying to decide if it's cheaper to buy a new axle or get new clutch packs. I know many will say "buy a new axle". If I go that route, it'll be at least 350$ for anew axle. 150$ for swap kit, fluids and then a few hours of labor (welding new spring perches, tubes, truss) whereas If I buy new clutch packs, I know they'll be good and with parts and labor it'd be like 400$
  13. I have brand new leafs on mine with a 8.8 swap and it's at least a 7inch lift. Up front I have 5.5 inch coils and 1.75 spacers and then back is still a tad highest
  14. I just got one from smart parts automotive and it was a very easy process. 1400$ with a 300$ core
  15. I've had this steering for 2 months and finally put it in. Going to get an alignment tomorrow. Hopefully they'll fix my front pinion angle too Iron Rock Off-road OTK Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. My Long bed pinion angle on my 8.8 is likr 8 or 9
  17. I believe so. The tranny is for a 95 Cherokee. I have the clutch kit for a 95 with a 87 renix flywheel. I ran this set up for a year but then I got another reman ax15 I just recently out in
  18. External but my slave cylinder is fine, the throwout bearing is just bad
  19. Mine hasn't given up but every time i shift it makes a horrible noise, and it's only 3 weeks old. When I put it on it seemed loser then my old one
  20. I put in a brand new throwout bearing and it's already bad. It's the Napa brand, now I need another, which is best?
  21. finally got around doing my motor mounts. Just replaced the drivers side with another stock one. Ya I know it won't last but whatever. Surprisingly this was a very easy fix, didn't have any issues! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Time to blind people. Finally got around to wiring these even though they've been on here for 2 months Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Ya it sucks lol but hopefully I can get it off
  24. I respect cops fully, but I live right by WWU and the cops around here just try to get you for anything. My friend got a 146$ for going 4 over, not even in a busy area or neighborhood. 39 in a 35
