i have a a rear ds for an '86 2.8l v6, tf auto, np207, and d35. but I'm in AK if you want to cover shipping.... i also have the front shaft wich is rebuilt, was reinstalled and driven about 3/4 of a mile b4 i totald the truck.

wow! :headpop: if i get smoke signals.........I'm going to the junk yard! took one apart while trashing an old junker and what that write up is missing is all the broken pieces your guna find bouncing around in that housing

mabe just lites that work under water so he could find his way out first try... or better wipers :dunno: needs a jeep!

having the original out makes it ez to get one fabbed up quick. i found that (the local somethingorotherplace...hoses, bushings. bumpers) "alaska rubber" made brake lines cheeper than the parts store... and better than new... and any way/length you want them... do it while you stand there, quick

:hijack: hows the wrap with that setup?

my '86 2.8 tf np2o7 had the same/standard style front drive shaft. think its longer than the one in my '90 tho :hmm: here are some pics from the inside of the np 207 if it helps... :dunno: rear section front section

that drill will only have a 3/8" chuck so get bits that neck down :thumbsup:

the only jk i half approve of... always a fan of low cog, and body trimming. 40" tires on a d44 shoulda come with matching 60s. does it still flex like stock or was it limited? how bout the turning radius, minimised? ide still pay too much for it...were it production, and i had money....

proly whats going to happen if i can't find a late 70's Buick Turbo Regal...

well if i don't get any good alternatives i will be re wrapping it. but I'm tryind to find out what others have done and what products people like. and i am often the type to change rims (and tire specs) when my tires get warn out... just to change it up.

steering wheel suggestions.... ive got the gray interior with the leather wrapped steering wheel, the leather is disintegrating quick in one spot. should i get a new steering wheel, if so which one? should i remove the leather and get a good cover or wrap? i just don't want it to look out of place.

33 with only 4 mjs! i should say so... 25 just married, kid on the way, mortgage starting next summer... then there will be no limit on trashed manches in my yard.

the tires on the alloys look like they have an odd wear pattern (like the sholders are almost gone) but those rims are nice lookn on an mj

2wd is a hard thing to find in AK, hesitant only because i love the amazing flex of my springs and am worried I'm going to lose it with a second main,not to mention a whole new pack. but i guess I'm just going to have to try a few setups and see what works for me... i hate compromise. ide also thought about replacing the main with something thicker, that would sit were i wanted it. and since there is a spring shop here in town it wouldnt be hard, and only cost bout $150, if they measure/build and i install. i thought about the second main over main for a minute and figured that they would have no contact with the rest of the pack once the truck was on the ground (the pack would flaten and the second main wouldnt) answering my own questions...shoulda thought it through first. i do load my bed and I'm sure there is going to come a time ill need to consider an air bag system or some other system for handling the weight, i just don't want to sacrifice my flex. yes upgraded shafts...my 33s found that weak link.

4wd leaf pack. i had considered dropping the back since ide have the packs pulled apart anyway, but i still want to change up the tire dimensions. i could just as easely drop the rear with a loaded toolbox wile were talking bout leaves... i was thinking about putting the second main on top of the eyed main to fix the wrap problems.. any reason this wouldnt work?

well I'm researching for proly this time next year, and with the wear ive seen over the last year I'm expecting a need to change.(put about 20k on her since putting the tires on 14 months ago) the gears were 3.07 and are now 4.10, should be ok to 35".. less concerned with the ground clearance than the crazy rake. my gas tank is never more than 3/4 full and that little yellow lite is pissn me off. don't really want to drop the rear, i like the way the front looks (filled wheel wells) and the truck performs awesome, but the overall look is getting to me... not quite rite

yah.... lift questions.... anyway I'm already lifted. 3.5 RE front consisting of fixed lca's, adj. trackbar, sway bar links, and coils. the rear is soa and sits at about 5". I'm currently running 33x10.5r15 bfg km1's with 4.5" of back spacing, under trimmed fenders. (zero rub) with so much space in the rear (and plans to add another main leaf to fight wrap issues) i want to go with bigger tires, I'm realy in love with the look of the bfg krawlers, (only 2 sizes to chose from? 35" and 37") so whats the best plan for bringing the front up (thinking 1.5") to fit the 35x13.5r15? keeping in mind i don't want to get rid of parts ive already payed for, and i want to keep the wheels centered in the wheel well. i do have a set of rims with 3.5" of backspacing if thats going to be needed. sorry if I'm adding to the lift question frustration, but i do read most of them myself and have not seen this covered, if so please redirect me to those threads. thanks go out to all who love to help. -terence

well i guess i need more explanation of how it works. i was hopping to be able to replace it with something that wasnt a car part and have something different. i could get another oe unit but I'm tryin to be cool. lost it a few days ago and aside from the idle being a little off it hasnt caused me much grief .

thnx. i emailed him ill fill all in on the info

thats the tread i was referring to... so is the mj canister just a sealed container with two ports?

i reeeeaaaaly like the crd and have been watching the jy for one. the install will be way outa my league but I'm betting its guna be a while before i find one.

use the growl as an excuse to upgrade. if the problem continues at least you got the d44 youve been wanting... :brows:

i don't care about water entering through the hood... is that a home brew or do you have info?

what exactly does the vacuum canister consist of? so... because i read the relocate thread and did nothing :doh: , it disappeared. (damn squirrels! :mad: ) can i construct a new one out of something cool or is there more to it?

skini guy for bolstered seats! i have those seats and forgot how good they look clean,but they do clean up pretty ez.
