    Steering and locker question

    What kind of locker is in the rear? If the hubs are unlocked in the front and it pushes on tight turns a detroit or lunchbox locker in the rear will cause a similar feeling. If you coast through the turns you will hear ratcheting but it should stay unlocked. When you add throttle an auto...

    My Blue Jeep

    Sorry to hear of your spring troubles. My BDS springs also have that "kink". I've never had any issues like you are seeing though. Mine were used and initially the right rear sagged pretty bad. I took a random Alcan leaf from another pack and put it in as an add a leaf. Wasn't...

    Meet Rusty, 82 5.0 Build

    I had that with mine as well. I don't run visors due to my roll cage. Not sure why that bracket is so wide. You could just trim the bracket off closer to the most inboard screw.

    Misc mystery part, what is it!?

    I made one similar to that. It bolts through where the spare tire latch is on the drivers side of the tailgate.

    1984 CJ-8 Project...here we go

    I would just add to use a GL4 gear oil - not GL5 for the trans and Tcase. The GL5 spec has more extreme pressure additives for axle gears. Those additives aren't friendly to the yellow metal in the synchronizers in the trans.

    KISS Daily driver (keep it simple stupid)

    That will make a fine driver. I used a Lokar shifter for my 700r4. Pretty happy with it overall. Make sure when installing to offset the engine/trans to the drivers side for front driveshaft clearance.

    Stupid Question - Overdrive

    Look at the Grim Jeeper gear calculator. There are lots of considerations to make. I feel the biggest is overall engine power. As stated above a healthy V8 can happily pull hills at much lower RPMs than a 6. I am running 4.88 gears with a GM 4.3 and a 700r4. One of my concerns was being...

    Recommendation for Diesel Swap?

    As much as I love Diesel engines the LS swaps just offer too much more for less money. For a CJ it seems that all the swappable engines are either too big and heavy or too small/low output or lack transmission options. That said I would love an R2.8 with a ford 6r80 with an atlas on the back...

    Two piece axles

    I changed both rear wheel cylinders on my stock axles without pulling anything but the brake drums. Are you talking about pulling the shafts from the axle or pressing the bearings on with the press? I thought after removing the flange bolts the shaft and bearing should come out. That said all...
