  1. Any axle you pick up should get a thoughrough going-through before you slap it under your rig. New seals, brake-check, new fluids, cleaning, painting all surfaces, etc. Mileage shouldn't really be that big a concern. I would be more concerned with what axle is going under. Any reason you are looking at 8.25 versus 8.8 or 44's or 9" or 60 or...?
  2. I don't recall ever seeing a black door skin or black dash... are those EOM or dyed? Looks GOOD.
  3. Not if you go big, and ex-mil. 37" goodyears mt's (hummer-spec radial) for $75ea.
  4. I am on pirate, Jeep Forum, Jeepin.com, Jeeps Unlimited, Colorado4x4.org, NAXJA, IFSJA, and a few scout boards. the only places I still go is pirate to lurk, JF or naxja for searches, or here to post.
  5. I just checked prices on the marchal lights.... :eek: Now I have a new must-grab junkyard part.
  6. The key is to know your location. Over at pirate, you are walking with the big dogs. They started the rockcrawling comps. They orchestrate most of the events. They are the competitors. They run the companies we buy all our products from. You can't run with the pro's and ask what size tires fit on your stock 2007 Compass... Here, we are single-make focused, and welcoming. Different mission, different crowd.

    231 neutral

    I disagree. The changeover was partway through 94 or between 94 and 95. My 94 XJ's 231 (which is the original one it came with from the factory) does NOT have a true neutral. And not having a CAD, it cannot be towed on a dolly without pulling a drive shaft. Double checked my sources, and you are correct. 95 was the changeover year. Before that, its really hit or miss with no rhyme or reason. Some are, some aren't.

    231 neutral

    91+ are true neutral. 87-91 are a grey area, and some were true neutral, some weren't.
  9. http://lewiston.craigslist.org/cto/2106441352.html I never knew there was such a thing. This is crazy.
  10. Never knew these existed! per this CL post, only 100 of these were made. http://lewiston.craigslist.org/cto/2106441352.html
  11. link to a write-up? I can't see how they could possibly fit anywhere decent with the rounded door frame on the CJ/YJ/TJ EDIT: found this:
  12. I had a 79 Scout II with an 8 track, floor mounted hi-beam switch, and I think vacuum wipers too (maybe). It was manufactured 2 years before I was born.
  13. 1988 Rear Axle Jeep Comanche CHECK COVER,STOCK NO. #09103025 #09103025 $150 Pro Auto Center USA-ME(Ellsworth) E-mail 1-207-667-6134 / 1-207-667-3346 1895 Found this one on car-part.
  14. Certifit for bodywork Hell Creek for rear springs. Rockauto for new/reman parts car-part for junkyard parts
  15. missed the dash. car-part.com
  16. OEM mechanical parts? Aftermarket mechanical? bodywork? lift kits?
  17. :agree: Temp sensor:
  18. Its a rare molded fiberglass trailer. Total weight is in the ballpark of ~1,700 pounds.
  19. Trans fluid depends on what you have. AX-15 uses 10w30 motor oil. BA 10/5 calls for 75w90 (GL-5) AW4 uses Dexron/Mercon a904 uses ATF+4 use accordingly....

  21. That's fantastic. ;) While it may have been found "in" a renix jeep, it was under the seat and not attached to anything. Therefore, it could be from anythnig or anywhere, and not necessarily a part for this particular vehicle.
  22. I have been using it as a DD for the past few months. Prior to that, its primary function was a tow vehicle for my camper. I will be selling this truck/camper combo to a fellow CC member in the near future, and want to get the truck as prepped as it possibly can be (he will be flying in and making the 1,300 mile drive home)
  23. I guess you are correct....
  24. Yep. Looks like a knock sensor to me too.
  25. It will reduce on-road sway, but will also cause the vehicle to understeer more. It will also stiffen up offroad travel unless you have swaybar disconnects. There are three or four sizes of swaybar diameter, and there wasn't much rhyme or reason or steadfast rule to what came with what. They all will interchange, as long as you get the bushings that go with that diameter bar.
