I have a 93 4.0 in my 86 B2 put it in about 5 years ago.It was using oil and slowing down when I put it in it had 200,000 miles.I found a 93 4.0 on craigs list with 90,000 miles from an accident.I put it in everything plugged in it slipped right in.When I got it in it did not turn over something...

My sister in law is a cancer survivor.She is doing well and is getting reconstruction surgery.They put her on a medication that's $8000 a month for the next five years at least.Those prices for life saving drugs are a little disturbing.

I shot a friends sig last week I really enjoyed it.I think the Sparton thing is past good taste but to each there own.

I had a 91 Explorer recently abandoned on the edge of my property for about a month.I had someone approach me about a five speed which this one had. I found the owner and made a deal happen to get it out of the way.A lot of good parts but I don't need any.My question is I've had a 92 and 93 4.0...

You did a better job than me trying to describe one of these.I tried to explain this on another thread had everyone confused.The ones that i've been around were covered in carpet though.

I have access to a used Ox Locker out of a Dana 35 Jeep rear end.Would a locker like this work in my 35 TTB front?If it does work and I could get it for about $500 dollars would it be worth the difference over a Aussie?I'm thinking there's more to go wrong but it would be nice to manually lock...

It sounds more like a clutch problem than a tranny problem.Put it in gear with the motor off hold the clutch down and try to start it.Does it try to drive away with the clutch pedal all the way down if not does the clutch disengage like it used to.Check the clutch master cylinder[next to the...

You probably want to put that in because it's the same ratio as the front.I would research that on a Jeep sight You could kinda figure it out backwards.They give Jeepers a lot of problems the axle will start coming out look back and your wheel is out about 4" and you don't move anymore.Also the...

I had a 9" that came out of a wreck that ate tires and bearings.You could run a string through the housing and take measurements.Can't think of anyway to do it loaded.

It's horseshit of coarse but it looks cool i'm impressed.

If that's your picture I think you should consider diet changes too.

A nine inch has a drop out third member if his doesn't have a drop out it's a 8.8.If his is a 9" you don't have to replace the whole thing you can pull the axles and change the third member that way you don't have to bleed the brakes plus when I change axles the other one always has worn out brakes.

If you put a hybrid 35 on to replace a dana 28 can you use the lock right out of the dana 28 in the hybrid?

We used to build a wood frame that extended the same height as the fender all the way along both sides.Then we would cover the frame with plywood just set it on there with carpet and padding on it.We wrapped the side frames with carpet and plywood too.You leave the camper shell and the side...
