Pass, unless you wanted to use the the tub and build a tube frame to wheel it or do something weird like this

If you're running close to stock tire size no need to go for a Woodward kit. It's a lot of money for not a lot of added value, best bet is to get everything cleaned up and do the 96 plus brake boosterand possibly consider some black magic brake pads. There's a write-up in the DIY section I'm pretty sure for the booster item. in regards to rear disc depends what rear actually have. Best bet is going to be finding a liberty 8.25 with disc already You would just need to make it spring under the rest of it's pretty bolt on. Obviously we just need to find one with matching gear ratios. Other option is finding 98 to 99 XJ axles.

I already got enough hobbies/money pits as is. Getting into .75-$1+ range a shoot just kind of sucks. Think the last time I bought ammo was 3 years ago. I remember a while ago when .22 was impossible to find and I couldn't for the life of my figure out why. .22s are probably my favorite to shoot because it's fun and cheap. One of my buddies just bought a lower jig (if that's what it's called) and reloading equipment. He spent a small fortune and that's his vice. Mine is still clapped out $h*t box jeeps .

Cool, thanks for the info. I'll try to drop into a archery shop and get some info. Was looking around google last night and may pick up a pistol crossbow at least for now. Cheap and looks like fun for plinking. And this is what sucks, freaking toilet paper all over again. I just want a few rounds and don't need an armory but unless that the route to go kind of stinks owning a gun for fun.

So I'm not a huge gun guy but I like to go shoot. I have a 9mm, few .22s and a .45 carbine. I don't hunt or go overboard into buying stuff. Just like to bring some boomsticks camping or wheeling. Well I'm really fn pissed off I can't find ammo anywhere. Stopped by sportsman's warehouse earlier and shelf's are bare. From talking to a few buddies that are bigger gun guys then me said it's been like that for a while and has compounded with recent government events which I think it's crap but different rant. Anywho as I meandered through empty isles muttering obscenities I came to the archery area stocked with plenty. So I got to thinking maybe bows might be better to have fun with then guns. Help at the store was no existent and other than 6th grade outdoor camp never done anything with a bow. So anyone know anything about bows? Good places to start? Pros cons?

4.7 is fun but a fickle mistress. Dropping valve seats and throwing rockers are in the future. It sucks but happens way too often. Keep it cool, let it idle before you shut it off and ya know deal with Jeep stuff.

Nice, 4 slow or 4.7? I have a love hate relationship with mine.

+1 on Lares. I ran a WJ pump and Durango box on my old XJ never had any problems. Standard XJ/MJ box will work just fine.

I gotta imagine 4.10's on stock tires has to be a torque monster. Probably can't do 55 https://boulder.craigslist.org/cto/d/hygiene-1989-jeep-comanche/7260562916.html

Oh man....... I guess my "realistic" garage -My current MJ built as a truggy, tons, 40's all the other silly things -My WJ with 35's long arms and FS axles -Late 60's commando, what ever color (This will be the next project I'm going to start looking for) -LX 570 -135i If I somehow got a boat load of cash -Unimog with a camper set up -50 caddy lead sled -70 K5 Blazer, hugger orange -2020 ZR1 corvette -2011 C63 Benz -Pagani huayra -Koenigsegg one:1 -Mercedes G63 6x6 -Lamborghini Centenario -SSC Tuatara -BMW 1M -Rezvani Tank

What I tell my wife all the time, 'I would have lost money not buying it."

All I know is people love them, they go forever and decent offroad machines.

And that's the thing. Tons are just overkill and going to kill ground clearance with 35s. I'm not going above 35s as anything above that is a bunch of work to fit on a WJ. In looking at the D50 doesn't seem like there are a lot of upgrade options and basically seem R&P as a D44 with D60 outers. I'll keep poking around. Thanks for the info.

So the WJ D30 is low pinion and doesn't really bother me. Issue is the CV axels up front and gearing. By the time you "upgrade" it it's not worth it. I have 3.73s now and they are fine with the 32's. Probably could be ok with 35's but 4.10s would really be a sweet spot. My MJ currently has built waggy 44's under it but they are too narrow. Ideally they would be what I'm looking for minus the width. My WJ does have the 4.7 and a lot more torque than a I6 plus it's just heavier in general. While I'm not planning to bounce it off rocks and mash through walls, the D30 and D44A just don't match what I'd really like. I have a lunchbox and it's sucks on pavement would rather have a trutrac or a LSD, don't really want to pay to regear and don't want to buy non cv axles.

Random question. I'm considering swapping axles on my WJ at some point. Reason being, I'd like to move up to 35s. The D30 and 44 just don't have a lot of aftermarket support and well they just aren't that great past 33s plus I'd like deeper gears. I do not want tons. JKs are out mainly due to cost. I know a HP44 and 9 would be the combo that would work but hard to find. Ideally I really like to find something that was full width and stock 4.10s. I was trying to see what axles may work. Figured it pretty much would be dodge axles or possibly a few ford's since I'll need a driver side drop. I did see these and looks to check all the boxes. https://denver.craigslist.org/pts/d/arvada-front-and-rear-axles-410s-lsd/7235182418.html So thoughts?

I feel for you man. We went through that last December. Not only are you crushed emotionally but the bills after are just a reminder and it sucks.

Because apparently this is what our elected officials think $600 will do. Would rather have businesses open and people paid fairly to the current cost of living standards but that's a different rant. Honestly, it will go to some bills. Between moving, having a baby, home remodel stuff and my wife losing her job this is a drop in a ocean. I'm with dzimm on the student loan/college thing. I was fortunate enough to work full-time when I got my undergrad and my dad helped me a little that I didn't have any student loan debt. My wife though went for her Masters and we are paying on that. What really chaps me on student loans is the interest along with soaring tuition rates. I don't think they fully need to be forgiven. It would be ridiculous to forgive someone's loan that went to Harvard versus someone that went to a community college. Even if it was something like a flat amount, it would be super helpful. I'd like to see wipping out all interest and not making them have a mandatory payback timeframe. Sure I'll pay $10 a month for the next 30 years.

Check out palmetto state armory. For the money probably some of the better ARs that really allow you to build them the way you want and give you a good platform.
