  1. Got a crack in my windshield on the way to work this morning. Will the glass from the donor xj I'll be picking up fit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Hey nice to meet you! I am in Mid-City LA. I go up to Hungry Valley all the time- maybe we can get a trip on the books once it cools down a little bit?Hey guys! I'm out of Lakewood/LB, I've been hitting up Gorman lately too! let's get a trip going! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I can commit to Gorman! Hungry Valley isn't too far, either. How do y'alls schedules look for early September, maybe the first or second weekend? I'm typically free on weekends. So whatever works for y'all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  6. So I have an 87 sportruck with the 4banger. I want to put the straight 6 in it. What's the best route to go? Any advice appreciated!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. 1-tons have extra complications. You'd want to be running at least 37" tires for clearance. I partially wish I had ordered 40s rather than 37s with my 1-ton XJ build, just for clearance. Plus they're heavy axles, so you will need to do some reinforcements on the chassis/suspension, spend more money on shocks, steering, etc. Weight in general is your enemy. Part of the reason the XJ/MJ generally wheeled circles around everything else in their day was because they were lighter to start with, especially given that they were longer than many of the comparable Jeeps; it makes a huge difference performance wise being 4000lbs with 35" tires vs 5000lbs with 35" tires. But yes, building a D44 vs a 60... 60 almost every day, just as long as you've got the tires to justify it. I already told him I think JK axles might be a good option. Would they be? I dunno. He hasn't said what size tires he wants, or if/how he plans to wheel it. I don't want to go tooooo big on the tires, still needs to be a daily. I was thinking 33's I'm just looking to make a daily that I can go have some fun on the weekends if that helps... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Well I am a welder/fabricator so that won't be an issue. I'm just a little short on knowledge as far as compatibility goes. I guess I'm going for easiest to find. Also is there a breakdown somewhere here of the (N)J classification system? I'm lost outside of the xjs and mjs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Also, would you happen to know about compatibly on the jk front end for the mj? Is there a particular year I should look for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. So would be the benefit of a 35 out of a jk vs a 44 from an older ford? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. So I picked up a stock base model want to upgrade to Dana 44's. I will be doing the work but don't know what I can pull them off of as far as compatibility. Suggestions and advice appreciated. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  13. I guess more to the point, I'm looking to create a work/build plan and any help offered will be appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Hey all, Quick and to the point. I picked up a Comanche and love it, runs well (159k miles). Just redid the brakes, threw a new muffler on and got some minor electrical/functional work done (blinkers, mirrors, etc.) Small gear oil leak on the rear of transmission and small oil leak from, hopefully, the valve cover. It's got the 2.5L 4banger, I eventually want to get the straight six or if possible, a turbo diesel in it. Obviously I've got to work from the rear forward. It's got baby Dana 30s which need to be upgraded to 44s. After that's is where you all come in. I'm new to this and am open to suggestion for upgrades. I'm not very familiar with all this but from what I understand it's not much different from the xjs. I want to get her somewhere in the middle of the road between crawler and jeepspeed. She's going to be my daily so it's needs to stay street legal. I'm not a mechanic, but I am mechanically inclined, I'm a welder. So any suggestions or questions are appreciated, thanks!
