Did you use my idea to liberate the axle? It works on the front too. Just be careful.

Find a jack in a car or truck . Find a rim that they put under the vehicles. Put rim under bumper and jack on rim and jack vehicle to desired height. Then use more Rims as jack stands . Be safe and good luck.

I can only tell my experience. I started by talking to my contact person every month for the first 3 months then called every week for a few months. Then they called me with weekly updates until 04/19/95 when my Jeep rolled off the assembly line .04/19 just happens to be my birthday . Cool birthday present. I still have it but it has transformed into a RockCrawler stroked to 4.6 , NV4500, Atlas II , BFG Krawlers yada yada .

I scored Manche Drive shafts today. I started by looking in every truck or suv to find a shaft that may work out with some fabrication. Some decent finds from explorer's and dodge Dakota's . Stopped in the Jeep area to see if a Grand Cherokee might work and like a light house from God a Comanche could be seen in the last row . I now know how it feels to win the superbowl... So I check it out and its in great shape. 4X4 and all so I snagged the drive shafts. And will be pulling stuff over the next couple weeks.

I have to agree with the profit margin statement... I ordered my YJ in July of 94 paid in full at time of order . The Jeep was delayed a build date till April of 95 because all the 4.0 's were designated for the Cherokee's . So even though they had a cash sale for a brand new vehicle I still had to wait for 9 months because all engines were claimed for by Jeep.

On January 2 my MJ is going to a local fab shop for some custom mods so he can make some MJ jigs. A gas tank skid was on the list. I am not sure what he will charge ...but I'm going to suggest a fabbed and a DIY kit when he does sell.

If she saw my tow rig she would have had a cow.2001 Sterling Acterra that has a little extra blowby . Smokes pretty good at idle . I would have closed the door on her or rolled the window up. I get approximately 6-10 mpg and plan on leaving a huge carbon footprint. My wifes Land Rover gets about 10mpg . My YJ gets about 8 mpg . my mj probably gets the same . Send her my address she would croak in my driveway . When she saw all my gas and diesel guzzlers

Ok so I was able to get the Manche running and have ordered some springs and a floor pan. The driveshaft will have to wait till I get springs on the and the 8.8 I scored from a junk yard with 4.10 gears. I will order an AUSSIE locker in a couple weeks. So I have moved on to a foreign land called electronics. I know nothing about electrical stuff. None of the gages work. I would really like them to work! Where should I start? I don't mind taking things apart so throw me some ideas .

Cajun Sting

This same symptom was happening to an XJ the fix was a vacuum line was leaking

When I changed my YJ over to an 8.8 rear end with discs. I changed to a ZJ prop valve I also used a 68 Corvette bb/mc.

X2 on Sicily Island . The only rock in the south. Dennis is a great guy and is making new improvements all the time.

I will keep this thread updated. I am working straight through the next couple of weeks so I will do littlethings here and there till I get a day off. I am going to take some measurements tomorrow morning. I have a good plan as to what the cage will look like. I am stealing some ideas from XJ cages . I don't like exo cages but I don't know how much room I can sacrifice . I am 6'4" and 260lbs so I take up space in the cab. I still like to be fairly comfortable too. I am looking at some PRP seats called Daily Driver's. As far as a cage goes where is a solid part of the uni body to tie into ? Would you bolt it on or weld it? I can do either .

Sounds good! I will have to check them out . I figure I will get an 8.8 and stuff an Aussie Locker in it while I am messing with suspension. I will also Truss the 30.

Looks like Rustys has replacement coil springs and adjustable spacers($200) . I had a friend make some adjustable coil spacers for his XJ and he is sending me a parts list to make some myself on the cheap. I will update on this.
