  1. I have an overpriced skyjacker adjustable track bar and steering stabilizer. I bought mine from a local 4 x 4 shop so I paid the top dollar price. It was 250 for the set but that came with all the brackets. I am happy with it so far. Only put about 700 miles on it since the swap. I am also running a little over 6 inches of lift though.
  2. I am by far NOT the most experienced tech guy on here. But from my experience, I had the same thing when I bought my truck. I had to replace my track bar and put a steering stabilizer on mine and it cleared it up. Not saying this is the fix, just my experience. Good luck bro!
  3. Thanks a bunch man!!!! Yeah I really like the look of the bumper too. Got a Smittybuild XRC 10 to stick on the bumper. Just wondering if I am going to have to buy new coil springs up front to support the weight of the bumper and winch. Close to 200 extra pounds. I have some pictures I meant to upload last night. But life at home with a 2 year old and a new play house out side.... Well lets just say she kept me busy till bed time last night. Ill try to get around to getting them up tonight. Some people were asking about MPG with 33 x 12.50 and 4.56 gears. It looks like I am getting around 16 MPG. That is a mix of highway and in town driving.
  4. LOL Always best to send the EX home with a concussion.

  6. FINALLY got my truck back last week. Only 2 1/2 months and a few thousand dollars later but man was it worth it. Such a huge change from 3.07 on 33's to 4.56 gears. I actually put the truck in 5th gear. I have never had a truck with all 4 wheels locked. 4 wheel low I do believe it would climb trees now. I did get to put it to work this weekend. She hauled 4 loads of mulch and a playhouse for my daughters second birthday. I thought I had a fuel pump going bad but come to find out when my tank says its only 1/4 full its actually empty. Found that out the hard way on a trip to get mulch. :rant: Over all I am very happy with how things are turning out. And I finally am getting this big a$$ bumper outta my office and on the truck. I'll upload some pictures when I get home tonight.
  7. Out of curosity, whats your MPG now? Not sure yet..... Only drove it about 40 miles home from the shop. I will let you know probably Monday, planning on driving it around this weekend. :thumbsup:
  8. I have 4.56 gears in mine with 33 x 12.50. I have only drove it about 40 miles since the swap. But the seem to be spot on for me. :thumbsup: Give me till after this weekend and I can give you some more info after I drive it some more. The 3.07 gears that were in mine were horrible with the larger tires. HUGE DIFFERENCE and I can use 5th gear now. Before the gear swap I never even used 5th gear.
  9. I am with you on the golf..... My # 1 past time. Play at least once a week. Desert course sounds fun. Sorry to be off topic fellas... :cheers:
  10. Sounds like he will remain the proud owner of a 91 Comanche.... :D
  11. Here are a few pictures. lots more if anyone wants to see the build.
  12. :bowdown: one extremely talanted fella we have here.
  13. Doesnt look like a 44? :dunno: Real clean 97+ swap though, I like it! Just going off what i was told. It was the interweb I was on. :D Guys name was Jose Oscar. When I get home this evening I will look up the post we were chatting on. can't access Facebook from my office. :fs1: Edited: Jose Oscar accepted my friend request on facebook just now. Its def a dana 44/60 combo. He has a ton of pictures of the build on his Facebook. I will jack a few if any of you guys want me too. :thumbsup:
  14. its a 44 in the back and a 60 up front.... I have talked to the "supposed" owner on Facebook a couple weeks ago when I first seen it. Ill try to dig up the pictures.
  15. I have seen that truck on FB too. Very nice indeed.
  16. Been thru 3 Oreilly starters in the past year....
  17. Just curious.... How much does an exo cage like that cost a man????? Super sweet work my friend.
  18. I am one of the lucky ones who Poision Ivy or Oak does not take too. It did not take to my father or grandfather either..... Wierd huh? My brother, another story. He is super allergic to it.
  19. First time I ever saw a picture of one of these was today. I could picture it with a 6 inch long arm and some 35's locked some roll bars.... Use your imagination. What would you guys do if you had one???????
  20. I will throw in my story and see if it makes you feel any better... Bought my MJ last May, already lifted with 33 x 12.50..... this was just going to be a trash truck and something to go to the river in. One week after i bought it coming home and hear hissing. huge slash in the tread of the tire, others are not in best of shape so I was forced to buy new tires. Seems like a week after that the starter was making one hellva noise, tore some teeth off the flywheel so then I had to replace flywheel, starter, clutch, and slave cylinder. Not a damn week after that I was driving and kept smelling gas very strong. Yeah I had 2 fuel injectors leaking like hell so I had to replace the fuel injectors. Of course a month later the alternator quit charging so I had to replace it. ughhhhhhhh I was ready to burn this truck to the ground. So after I finally replaced all that my track bar stripped out and that had to be replaced. Then for some god unknowing reason I decided I needed to re-do the complete drivetrain.... that was 2 months ago and I still don't have my truck. SO I can relate on not being able to drive it as a DD. Glad I have a Honda to DD. :D
  21. If you wanna take it for a test drive to Va and donate that lovely rack.... :brows: come on down!!!!!! :drool:
  22. Sweet truck..... Well worth 3200 IMO.... Just the upgrades he has done is way more than what you are paying. Great find!!!! :thumbsup:
  23. IMHO 700 - 1000 bucks would be really fair. The fact it's already been regeared and set up is huge. Just the labor in that is around 600 dollars or better. Toss in a 300 dollar locker 400 for gears..... But no one is ever willing to pay what you have in something unless they just really want it. Good luck buddy!!!!
  24. i see 8.8's on craigslist from anywhere from 150 - 300 but thats in Roanoke Va.
