No idea if you’ve got a long bed or a short bed, but here’s a picture of my short bed tank. The one farthest from the camera would be the passenger side rear of the tank and the one closest to the camera is the driver side front. I don’t think you’ll be able to get to the front one without pulling the tank, but it might be worth a shot.

This thread and then the build thread in it have a little bit of information on the Super 35.

Correct. When you break a rear axle shaft, it probably won't be in your driveway. It will probably be at a terrible time. You'll have to pull your shafts to install the LSD anyways, so you might as well do it all at the same time.

Definitely do the CAD delete. What he meant was the upper control arm mount on the passenger side on Jeeps with CAD axles. On CAD axles, the mount is a cast iron piece that also has the CAD housing. You have a whole lot of upgrades to do then. That Peugeot is living on borrowed time. If you have plans to run 35s, I'd run 4.88 gears. If you think it will stay on 33s long term, 4.56s would likely be sufficient.

Glad to see this thread getting updated

I bet it is! That's a shame that they aren't in production right now. Hopefully that gets resolved quickly, I saw he posted about a new 3D printer on FB not too long ago.

The next thing worth discussing is tire size plans. And this will depend on your engine, your driving style, and your driving environment. Your budget for parts and fabrication skill is another factor. Your quickest option and you option requiring the least amount of fab work will be to put axle shafts in your D35 along with a locker of your choice. That may or may not be your cheapest option too, depending on what gears you want to run and the condition of the other axle if you were to swap it out instead.

If you could, maybe try to grab a video of it when you’re starting it tomorrow.

What are your plans with the truck? If it’s a daily driver and occasional off road rig, a Super 35 and a D30 will be sufficient. If it’s mostly a trail rig, go for tons. My axles of choice would be a D30 front and a Chrysler 8.25 rear out of either an XJ or a Liberty.

Did you check the voltage while cranking?

Stumbling and shutting off after 5 minutes sounds weird. Very possibly could be a connection issue, like grounds, or a bad battery issue. Like Eagle_SX4 said, get the battery, starter, and alternator tested at a parts store. Could also be a fuel issue, but that would be a problem when it’s warm too.

That one is a front receiver. @krustyballer16 makes new hitches

Hopefully this thread has what you need

Might want to post this over in tech where more eyes will see it with a link to this thread

Looks like a fun trip

That Cub Cadet looks like a blast. It seems like a crapshoot, but maybe Bosch is the way to go based on this thread: You can also use a wideband and a REM to get it in closed loop.

Doesn’t look like you can get a new one.

This is a neat one. How is the WJ build going? Anything worthy of it getting a build thread update?

Yes, it would mean that the track bar is too long, which you would need for a lifted Jeep. Could you measure the track bar and hopefully someone else with a stock Jeep will be able to say how long theirs is. I personally like the yellow. Here’s a thread on the Pennzoil trucks if you’re interested.

Definitely is a D35. It looks to me like the whole axle might be shifted to the passenger side. Look at the difference in gaps between the outboard most point of the front springs and the bump stops. Anyone else wondering if this was one of the Pennzoil giveaway trucks that were yellow?

Looks like it’s Bosch ones that you want. They are commonly called the 746s. Here’s a thread with the Bosch part number.

I find this very odd. You'd be fine with a stock driveshaft with a 3" or smaller lift. And anything more than that, you'd need different control arms for sure. Let me make it clear, I'm not doubting you, but I don't think that the PO knew what was going on.

Can we see a picture of the truck and the springs along with the sway bar end links? Could you get some measurements to see if you’re actually at stock height? You should be able to clear 31s on stock wheels at the stock height.

This website is about swapping a transfer case in an AMC Eagle, but it also contains a ton of valuable information about the other 80s AMC and Jeep transfer cases. http://www.n0kfb.org/homepage/amc/tech/transfer_case/swap/index.htm
