The T case end looks Ok to me save a good cleaning. The DS, weird. Over flex to where it almost fell out on a stock rig? Are you planning on lifting it? If not Id not bother with the SYE or its cost, just a new DS or repair the end.

Im curious what the cost of a conversion is. Any info??

Just think what all the $$ spent on modding a TJ could do to this.

No kidding. Granted 90% of my way to many vehicles were tired and if they only used a quart in 3500 miles id be thrilled.

Last time I took a vehicle to Kennedy meadows above Kernville in Ca I did it with a 65 F100 2wd with a KLR in the back. Made it to the back where the Kern runs thru it. I got some WTF looks from the guys in their 100K rovers and bling wagons. Only scary part was coming down 9 mile to 395 with...

The diffs, trans and T case all need breathers, for a total of 4 rubber lines. Oil and parts heats up and expand, no vent and the seals will get blown out, and you'll have a oily mess. All of them typically have a spring loaded breather on the end of the rubber line to prevent water/dirt...

A VW bug hood works better. Dont ask how I know :cool:

Even if it looked like this?

I cant answer this for you but someone here can. The max recommended speed/gear in 4lo? I have read concerns of the planetary and to high of rpm's. This would be something like being in 3rd, rolling down hill going fairly fast. I'm pretty OCD myself and always keep speeds in 4lo way down, if not...

Yes. Might try Dennys Driveshafts in NY for parts if no local place has them. Do yourself a favor and insist on Dana/Spicer U joints ONLY as well when rebuilding. You might try hitting the belly pan bolts with PB blaster or something like that. Yes, the frame inserts might get wasted as well as...

Some day if I win the lottery I swear I will find a AMC Pacer and slap the body on a good 4x4 Chassis.

The military quad cab PW's were cool. (y)

I cant say we'll ever own a JK or JL, however after 15 jeep products, some 10 other dodge built trucks, for a total of 200+ vehicles to owned date , I will say without bias, Anything produced by dodge/chrysler/fiat,stellantis/Ram, bla,bla is by far the poorer quality wise. Far as new goes, you...

Early Cummins rams with auto's had flex plate crack issues. I had one myself that cracked apart. I will say I cant recall noise over the engine, but you could feel it thru the floor board with knocking like somebody was tapping on the metal floor with a hammer.

My memory is a tad foggy, but on my 99 TJ it took a lot more than 135 to crush the sleeve. Im 250lbs and used a 3' pipe on the end of a breaker bar basically hanging off it to incrementally get it to the right preload. It sure wasn't that hard to take the nut off by a long shot. I'll admit ive...

I feel for you as we just moved to KY and wanted to replace the TJ I left behind in NM. After a few looks I kinda gave up till spring at least. I even bought a POS Grand Cherokee to sacrifice to the rust gods to save our two good vehicles till we move back to AZ. There are some absolute piles of...

The ricky racer stickers under the hood say kid owned and abused to me. Kind of speaks to the rebuilt title perhaps. Thats insane and Id question if the miles indicated are bogus.

I might add if its lifted or you plan on going bigger tires try to find a set of diffs off a 4 cyl TJ. It should have 4.10 gears not the dreaded 3.07's

Where are these guys getting these prices from, Kardashian auto repair?? What are they charging, $4000 in labor? #1 find another shop. #2 Does it quiet down after it gets warmed up? that tick would be a cracked exhaust or loose exhaust manifold. How bad is the tick or ticking? Id post a vid of...

🤩 Love that yellow renegade.
