Probably not much. Maybe boil some water in it & make a cup of tea.

Ayup. Works just fine.

Last update: Bought a master rebuild kit & a Yukon grizzly locker Dropped it off at the shop the other day Pick it up first thing in the morning tomorrow. Shop installed it for only $250 :D

What flares are those? Been looking to buy a set.

Yeah I've already don't the SOA swap, will the 8.25 lift me up anymore? A very minimal amount. The 8.25 iirc is .25 or .5 inches bigger tubes.

Shop quoted me $1400 to change out the bearings haha

I think its 30 years where i'm at. Almost there!

http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/4638556506.html I think I'm in love. Anyone know if this is/was a member on CC?

Why put money in a 35?

Sounds like possibly a DNS server issue, Try swapping to googles free dns server (its typically faster then ISP servers anyways) Start bar -> Control Panel -> View network status and tasks -> Change adapter Settings -> Right click your network adapter & click proporties -> Double click "Internet Protocol Version 4 )TCP/IPv4" -> Click "Use the following DNS server addresses:" -> For Prefered type 8.8.8.8 -> For Alternate type 8.8.8.4 -> Hit OK -> I believe you have to restart your pc for this to take effect. Hopefully this helps you.

Isnt that a b*@$£ to do yourself & a ton of $$$ to have a shop do?

So to revive this thread from the dead again.. Update: Just swapped in the 8.8 today, Drove down the road & I no longer have a clunk when stopping. But now have a new problem, New axle is making weird sounds. Sounds almost like when drum brakes are dragging a little, But really loud & pretty much only when you have your foot on the gas. Put it in nuetral / let it idle in drive while going down the road & it stops making the sound.

Pretty sure the 4.0l won't either. Nates rear is through-welded tabs, You'll probably break the chain/rope long before it goes.

I bought a front/rear bumper & Rocksliders from nates4x4. They're EXTREMELY behind schedual right now, And are over a month out on orders. Took over a month to get the front & rear bumpers & I STILL havent recieved my rocksliders. Ordered them all on the 3rd of last month. So if speed is a priority, I'd go with jcr. Other then that, They're extremely well made. The welds are nice & heavy duty, The mounting brackets are pretty overkill, Which is nice. I can't really comment on the d'tabs yet, As i havent had the chance to take them out & try them, Been waiting on the sliders before going wheeling again. I did however ask him to make my rear bumper 64", And he shipped me a 62" version instead ~___~ And there is a coupon "Seasonal" Or something like that, For nates which takes off 10-15%~

RAD! You should get that Cheromanche guy to do your perches. Was thinking about giving him a call, If my brother inlaw is out of town when i get all my parts in, I'll probably call him.

Update; So there's about half a turn of play in the rear diff. 99% sure thats what's causing everything. Picked up a 8.8 with 4.10 gears & LSD from c'list today, Put new brakes/calipers/rotors on it. Ordered everything i need for the swap, Just have to wait a week~ for it to come in the mail. Thanks again for the help.

Did you do rear differential fluid? That's what fixed it for me; not the tranny fluid. Ah missread you on my phone. Yea, The diff fluid is new too. Had a buddy climb under & managed to make it clunk a few times, you can't find where it comes from though. Seems to be the transmission?

First, pull your drive shaft and grease the slip splines where the yoke goes into the transfer case. See if that helps. I keep reading that, But isn't that only for newer model Xj's that have the external yoke with the boot? Doesnt my tranny fluid lube my yoke? Good point. I had that clunk symptom with a '99 WJ and lubing the splines helped, but you're correct -- that was the new style, external slip yoke. Noticed today if i REALLY feather the brakes while stopping, I can make it clunk AFTER i let go of the brakes. So I'm going to have a buddy look under & see wtf is going on.

Maybe buy one of jims spares :rotf:

I actually flyshed and replaced the tranny filter not long ago. And when I did the old fluid still looked new and no shavings Also; Would i need a longer, Or shorter drive shaft for the 8.8 compared to a d35?

Would a 8.25 be an easier swap? or pretty much the same?

Yea, I'm aware. Prop valve was eliminated awhile ago. I'll check the local P&P First. Not in a rush, I just like to reasearch stuff in advance.

Kay, Noob question. http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/pts/4568213137.html Assuming that would work? Not sure what the average price for these are. Wtf is posi. I'm young and still learning, Go easy on me. haha

Alright, That makes sense. Guess its time i start looking for a 44
