  1. Doesn't do $#!&. Supposed to aid cold start up. With EFI. Right.
  2. Gotta agree with jbhill. I'd just pass it over. As a parts donor exploders are pretty useless. And it is most likely a 3.73 or 3.55 axle. I'd look around for a disk one with 4.10's and the track lock. It works decent in the light rear of the MJ. But, for $250 if you want to take the time you could part it out and make money. Fords aren't very reliable, so there's always market for the parts. That and the rear driveshaft might be useable for something.
  3. They should fit without issues. I was looking at mommy's WJ and they're almost definatly the same. Aside from the bend. It's the rear CA's that are longer.
  4. Jeep was cheap. There's no differences in the 5-link front other than the slight bend in the WJ LCAs.
  5. I've been busy. Just not on the truck. Obviously I need to stop wheeling the XJ... But, yeah, 12B pretty much ready to go. Just gotta bolt her in and put the brake lines on. Image Not Found Oh yeah, light was bad.
  6. I doubt it'd be easy... But, if you take an old wide slotted screw driver and warm it up and bend the tip over 90* you might be able to pop all of the little clips without wrecking the panel. If it gets wrecked, go see a wrecker.
  7. I was talking styling. :nuts: The drivetran is garbage. But, nothing a little redneck engineering won't fix :brows:
  8. Oh yeah, and one side at a time, as Pete said. Unless you're changing the length of them dramatically (by like 4").
  9. Just get the front end up in the air. Undo the LCA's, sledgehammer them out. Then attempt to put the new ones in (sledgehammer) and if it's a no-go use a bottle jack to move the front axle around. It can take some creativity.
  10. Looks custom. I'd say 2dr XJ that was cut. That'd be an izusu P/U window in the back there. Anyways, welcome.
  11. uuhh..post..was a 10' galvanized steel fence post that i chopped down. its 4" dia and 1/8" wall. it weighs 50lbs so far..lol AHAHAH. Okay. That'd be pipe...
  12. Not really my thing. Well, I think the best open top Jeep as far as the styling went was the YJ. I know I'm going to take flak for that.
  13. Tube or pipe? Looking good! Still haven't built my own. Well, the flatbed works as one.
  14. I had one before. Seemed to work pretty good. Weld the damn tubes to the housing! Install was a breeze, just measure twice and weld once! And snag the flange for the pinion to adapt it to the 1310 joint. You can also get those out of ford vans and trucks with either the 7.5 or 8.8 if your's doesn't come with one. Oh, and the ranger 8.8 is crap. But yeah, the weak point is the stock carrier. I think a detroit truetrac would work good for your application. However, I'd probably pick up one with disk brakes and 4.10s and a LSD and run it and see what happens. The local boys around here have been running serious horsepower through their's with little issue.
  15. Nope.
  16. Glad to see you made it over :cheers:
  17. So, when you going to chop the top?
  18. Yeah, that's a K5. Everyone seems to think it's a jeep... His brakes failed. I think they walked away though.
  19. Snow can be a bish! Especially when the solid ground below it is 20' down. Thus they run tires with a non-aggressive tread, massive width (and height) and very little air pressure. Those guys will run 6psi WITHOUT beadlocks, and about 1psi with. They do similar here in the winter. As in true snow wheeling (42" tires or bigger required). It becomes a pretty crazy battle between keeping the rig light enough, having it stay together, and choosing a tire that doesn't just dig you to the ground, but still allows some traction. Anyways, Iceland is pretty sweet.
  20. That was definatly a cheap shot. Seeing as how I think there's a package to get the H2 with 20's on it off the lot.
  21. The guy who made that (DennisAJC) is from Van. He's over on bc4x4 a bit, I think. Anyways, I respect him a million times more than 99.9% of hummer owners in that at least he takes 'er out.
  22. Dude, I gave away a set of those to a buddy who took them in as scrap metal... And I'd suggest a real bumper over tow hooks. Image Not Found $60 in steel goes a long ways.
  23. Okay, on that 4.0 swap did you have to cut any of the firewall? (Looks good)
  24. What a tool. :roll: Not all of the :Canadaflag: are like that.
