I would, and it's not even a political thing. I think McCain might have struck a little genius on this one...

I read up on sond deadening materials... But I don't want to go that route for the floor. I think I'll just throw some liner on it and see how it goes. I'll stuff the XJ's carpet into the cab of the MJ for now, and take it to the dump if I find the noise level acceptable. Or I'll just throw it out and get a new one later. Although, I do have to admit, this XJ did have nice carpet except for all the broken glass. Of course, I need to make/steal a new hedliner and a bunch of interior peices before I could really say anything for sure. It's a little lacking right now.

What is it? I couldn't find it... I'm thinking it's a deck coating? Which is basically what some bedliners are...

I've got pretty conflicting answers for this one so far...

Anybody thrown it on the floor/firewall/etc instead of the carpet/foam? Quiter? Louder? Didn't notice? I pulled the carpet out of this cher-o-pile today and don't really feel like putting it back in. I've got some bedliner, thinking of throwing it on the floor and up to the firewall instead... I don't want this thing to be any noisier than can be expected. I'm also torn on giving up the carpet as it probably helps keep the cold out in the winter. Thoughts?

Thanks, but I found a parts guy that wasn't a moron... At least, he sold me a master that looks like the old one, and a line that looks like the old one... Was about $130 tax in for both. Blah.

True, but it is a fixable problem... Yukon will do chromos for about $250/set, so some 30 spliners of those and a locker of your choice... Problem solved and one better. I'd watch the housings too. The XJ/MJ ones are good, but some of the other stuff uses thin/small tubes. They need a truss, which is more work.

The 19 spline is old junk, think CJs and earlier... And I'd think similar things about 27.

It does leak, it drips of the driveway. She'd been driving it for half a year like this - just fill it up every morning. All the paint off the firewall is blistered and peeling... Now I'm scared about that fuse panel, brake fluid would probably be somewhat bad for that... I'll get the hose if I can. I have a feeling that will be a little hard without a part number. The guys who work in parts stores here are retards.

I looked. No signs of leakage on the bottom of the tranny/bell-housing. I guess I'll order a new master. No reman.

I haven't looked underneath yet, mostly out of dread. But it dripped on the driveway when I drove it in... The paint is all peeled around the master, down the firewall and engine bay. But I don't know if that was from it leaking, or the girl filling it... Guess I'd better get underneath and see if there's a huge wet spot? If the 'infernal' slave fails, is it normally catastrophic? As in no clutch authority? This thing still works, just needs a quick pump... Okay, I'll go look.

Gotta pump the clutch or she keeps going... I'd assumed slave, but now that I think about it, it could be the master instead no? There's lots of spilled brake fluid around the master. But that doesn't mean it leaked as the PO was a girl and she filled it regularily... Would I get an obvious dripping around the bottom of the bellhousing if it's the slave (internal)? Any good way to see a brake fluid leak?

Which is like $500 more than its worth. Although, I guess this would be the only way to justify buying one of them. Still, screw that, I could spend it on a lot better things.

I dun' care 'bout the 8.25. Waste. I run 44s. So, the new OX would just be the old one with a pneumatic actuator or such on it? Sounds bulky. Unless it still has a cable. Anything on the front of the diff is technically fodder, although I rarely hit anything above mid-point on the cover. But I don't knoe enough about OX to know if that's a problem. From what I hear, ARB is the best bet.

Were these two in the "show"??? :rotfl2: :rotf: I'm going to he!! I know it,,, but its going be a fun ride!!!!! I have a friend with a midget fetish. Well, maybe he has one. He talks like it at least. Anyways, I bought him 'Double Midgitation' for his birthday. At least hell won't be a lonely place.

I was going to suggest the same thing, just couldnt remember the name,, but I think a dwarf is like a little person with proportional body parts like arms and legs, and a midget has a regular torso but with really short arms, legs.. I think... I don't think so. I think they're synonyms. Becuase I was watching some show on dwarfs/midgets and they'd refer to them as being 'proportional' or not. Granted it was when I was living in dawson creek, and I'm pretty sure I didn't sober up until I left there.

I forgot about this thread. I haven't asked for a refund. It doesn't really bother me (I have the money, and I do shop there a lot. And honestly it was totally my screwup). But it still seemed kinda weird to me that they wouldn't just refund it automatically (it went back unopened). Maybe I'll just call them and ask to do that though. I can't buy tires from them (shipping) nor rims. I can buy other junk though... I need some 30 spline chromo rear shafts, but they'd be totally custom. And I need some 30 spline chromo D44 outers, and warn D44 30 spline drive flanges. And I think I 'need' a pair of selectable lockers. And I might need another SYE, maybe not. I don't think summit has me for any of those. Actually, I just thought of something by writing this post. I'm going to have to call warn I think. See what they make their drive flanges out of. Might mess up my plans.

Especially if you have a posi-lock or whatever they call it... The cable conversion for the CAD. Oddly enough I think the OX would be most reliable because it is so lacking in sophistication. But the cable might give a lot of touble. Again, I don't know, just speculation.

It's got like a slip ring setup... An outer ring with a groove machined around the inside of it remains stationary and has an air line going into it. That ring rides on the moving part, and is o-ringed so it won't leak. Electrical ones are similar, but electrical, take apart an alternator if you want an example of that. I don't think they can be rock solid reliable...

Wow, the context got me on that one. I'd really imagined something very politically incorrect.

Do any of them work reliably? I never seem to hear 'selectable locker' and 'actually works as advertised' in the same sentance.

Pushes midgets?

Not hard, and yes. You'll need some decent size snap ring pliers to get the rings off the mainshaft as you pull it apart. Start at the @$$ end with the tailcone and work foreward.

They don't give refunds I guess :nuts: What should I order?

Yup. Same idea. Little different execution. Those guys will wrist their radius arms too - they hack one mount apart or something :nuts: I've never looked into it because it does not interest or concern me.
