Akula69 Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Went to the JY today - got lucky I guess in the fact that there were 3 - 89 XJ's there to pick from - all 3 C4C vehicles. The sad part was a silver Laredo with 84K on the clock that looked almost new (except for the crack in the block). Ah well.... Anyway, there is a 4X4 with a D30 in the front and a AMC20 in the back, but some fool put what appears to be a screwdriver thru the cover. After some cursing and further investigation, it appears that all the diffs have a hole put in the covers and have been drained. My question is...does anyone know of aftermarket covers for the '20? PS: I got a nice clock, a complete (unmodified) engine bay harness, a complete cruise control system (including the special speedo cable), a complete header panel, AC vacuum hoses, and a couple other small parts for 75.00. All in all, not bad for 5 hours work.
Pete M Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 that 20 probably started life under an MJ. and it very likely has 4.10 gears in it. :thumbsup:
CWLONGSHOT Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Sure, many companies make HD covers for the 20!!! Figure 100 for a good one.... CW
Akula69 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Posted November 2, 2009 Sure, many companies make HD covers for the 20!!! Figure 100 for a good one.... CW Hmmmm. So I can get the axle for 75.00 and a cover for 100.00 more. The only problem would be getting the daymn thing off with only hand tools... :roll:

CWLONGSHOT Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Agreeded, good call Pat, yes stock covers are also avalible. Just cut the U-Bolts with a batt angle grinder or sawsall. Snip the brake line and unbolt the straps on the U-joint and the emergency brake cable mount. (Don't cut the emergency brake cables!!) YOUR DONE!! Just becareful you don't "pop" a nut putting it in the truck bed!! :yes: CW
Pete M Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 when retrieving axles from explorers, I usually slice through the shackles to make it easier to pull the axle out. :thumbsup:
