Well it looks like I just need to put some pedals on my jeep and wear spandex...

Kinda feel like this will never again open. Does anyone know if there are any talks about taking legal action against Boulder County for keeping it closed? It is public land and it is clear that...

If the axle is at the wrong angle this definitely could happen, and there would be more vibration during normal driving. http://www.4xshaft.com/ go to the top right of the page and click on the tech...

One other thing to check if it comes back would be tracking on the plug wires. I had a 1998 tacoma and as soon as I changed to iridium plugs I had two plug wires develope tracking inside the boot...

I would take a close look at the yokes on both ends as well. If your pinion yoke took a hit and has a bent ear or is off center, replacing your driveshaft will not help. Something is out of alignment...

Here is the summary of the Colorado statute:




Colo. Rev. Stat. §18-4-511


Class 2 petty offense. First conviction: fine between $20 and $500. Second conviction: fine between $50 and...

That would help the whole problem out. One of my neighbors has a bunch of crap beside his house and his excuse is always that it costs too much to dump it. I load up a truck load every free dump day...

I would never condone dumping like this, but when I went to the dump last week it was nearly $80 for a level truck bed. No hazmat, nothing dangerous, just scrap wood and random junk that was not...

When I moved back from Seattle I was wonderfully surprised to get a frozen radiator. I had never really needed to add coolant while I was there and never checked it being that my toyota at the time...

That is good to know. They were giving me all kinds of crap when I took my jeep in because they had to do the special computer only test because my tires were too big for the machine.

Edit: do you mean Chrysler 8.25, or Ford 8.8?

Not sure about the 8.25, but the Ford 8.8 has the tone ring on the carrier, not on the individual axle. There are exactly twice as many teeth on the...

200 HP is 110,000 ft lbs /second of torque. If you were heavy on one front axle with the wheels turned sharply it is very possible to massively exceed 40,000 of clamp force. I still think that the...

My rear diff was making more noise than I would like so I pulled it apart and measured everything. Pinion torque was 14 in lbs, no observable ring gear or carrier runout, and .010" backlash at 4...

I looked everywhere for a cheap trailer that would take even fire roads reliably and did not have much luck. I have a motorcycle trailer that I load up one dirt bike and the tent, coolers, and gear,...

This is looking really good. I have been thinking of doing the same thing. Are you planning on building it up with some good ground clearance? I assume that you are having the same problem that I am,...

I think that I might get the Addco 688 rear sway bar, and some swaybar disconnects for the rear at some point this summer. I definitely have tail wag, and the front has the upgraded 1" sway bar with...

I will come and get some armor sooner rather than later. I feel like it is kinda exposed, but I do not know what will fit with the long arm kit that I have installed.

So far I have a Ford 8.8...

Drove the jeep around all weekend, and could not be happier!

Here are some final pics until next time that I am ambitious enough to start tearing things apart.

I verified that they sent me the wrong ball joint. I got a refund and just bought an Oreilly house brand and got everything back together. The shank with taper was physically shorter than it was...

I got the jeep out of the garage today and drove it around the block to let the suspension settle. Not going to lie, 2WD is awesome and I do not even hear the Aussie Locker at all. Everything feels...

I then got the NP 231 installed and replaced the rear main seal on the transmission. That was a little more fun for one person than I was planning on having, but it is in there working perfectly. One...

Well today was a productive damn day. I got the main input bearing for the NP231 so I assembled it and got it ready to install. While it was drying I finished up the front end and got brakes and...

Found one. Thanks for looking.

Hmmm, I thought that they had alloy shafts just like the ZJ XJ. If not, then it is not worth the trouble. That is probably why we are where we are with the spacer.

I don't think so, they measure exactly the same as the axle I took out, and all 4 are the same. I had to swap one of the knuckles from my high pinion because one of the bolts for the brake calipers...
