I have finally gotten to work on my new axles starting with the front. This is a ‘98 XJ HP 30 with a 30 spline eaton E locker carrier and revolution 5.13 reverse cut gears. Pinion rotational torque and backlash are within spec. I have started with a total of 0.081 inches of pinion shim (0.032...

I'm planning to build new axles for my TJ to replace the current LP 30/35 combo. I have picked up an XJ HP30 and LJ Dana 44 as well as new internals. What are you all using for stands when doing axle builds out of the vehicle? I could do wood or metal , DIY or purchased. I would like a stand that's...

I had a really unsatisfying interaction with Cordray’s Continental Auto Repair and Transmission in Albany, Oregon this week. Normally, I don’t see much point in anonymous negative reviews but I feel some community here so if I can help any of you guys in Oregon sidestep trouble, I’d like to. I...

After moving up to 35s, I need to re-gear. I have a super 35 in the back (30 spline w/ e-locker) and LP Dana 30 out front with 27 spline 4340 shafts and and e locker. After thinking about axle options a lot, I decided to goto a front HP30 and found a decent one last weekend which I pulled from a...

This showed up today: I’ve had mostly Dewalt electric tools for years. They work OK but I’ve upped my game in the garage somewhat and want nicer tools. Because of batteries, sticking with a brand is efficient so this is a leap of faith. I started with a 2 tools I don’t have; a 3/4” impact which...

Did I miss a new LED tail light option launch? @mrblaine ?

I'm close to ordering an Atlas 2sp (5.0:1) for my 97 TJ with a stroker (25% torque bump over stock) and an ax-15. Its a daily driver on 33s w/ 4.11 gears and e-lockers. Front Dana 30 with 27 spline 4340 and rear Super 35. What I'm trying to do: 1) better crawl ratio (now = 42.8, with 5.0:1...

No, not Wrangler Rubicon history. Most of us know its been 20 years since the first Wrangler Rubicon in 2003 and that its named for the Rubicon trail, a 22 mile long route in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California ending at Lake Tahoe. But do you know where the name Rubicon comes from? You...

Eaton Truetrac for Dana 30. 27 spline. Carrier for 3.73 gears and numerically higher. Super smooth, reliable, helical gear driven limited slip. Except for the increased traction, it’s invisible. Excellent on slippery surfaces. Used 7800 miles in front TJ Dana 30 almost exclusively on road...

I have the rear end of my ‘97 apart for an axle, tank and bumper project. Even though this rig has been out west for 26 years, the back half of the frame has surface rust with pit, scale and some flakes inside. I haven’t had a better opportunity to get at it to clean and paint. So, I’ve cleaned...

I have a stock-ish '97 sport with the 19 gal tank and the very thin stock steel skid plate. I'm looking for thoughts on the Genright Crawler™ EXT Gas Tank & Skid Plate (19.5 Gal). Its expensive and was low on my priority list. But my fuel pump is going out. Since I'll need to drop the tank, I'm...

What’s the correct way to refill the coolant in a 4L after draining? More specifically, how do you get out the air preventing the engine from taking all of its coolant with a closed thermostat? When I’ve refilled after doing something requiring drainage, my radiator will be full when the system...

Not everyone loves black steelies but I think my cheap D-windows look more than fine on my TJ. However, they are heavy, not very round and impossible to balance. So it’s time for new wheels. I’ve come up with 2 aluminum 15x8 options both of which fit over my 16” BMBs (although the sticky...

I’m getting ready to do a super 35 with an e-locker. The Revolution shafts came with new outer bearings and seals, but I need carrier bearings. Per @mrblaine, they are the same part number for both regular and super 35 carriers (102949 bearing and 102911 race). National and Timken bearings are...
