    What speedometer gear ratio required?

    That Gear did NOT fit my NV231. I returned it a bought a FAIRCHILD D5039 43 Tooth Speedometer Gear; Blue from RockAuto. https://www.rockauto.com/?carcode=1373723&parttype=11676 - The one with the steel Shaft. Will let you know if that works ;o)

    What's the best way to vent the axles for water?

    Yes my rear Diff got polluted with muddy water - NOT NICE ;o( I seen some Youtube Videos where Jeepter's attach a long hose to the Axles breathing vents and raise it over the Rad in front and over the rear tire in the fender well ?

    What speedometer gear ratio required?

    2001JeepTJ Thanks BUFFY: Just Ordered it - According to my Speedo I would not want to be caught doing 140 Km in a 100 Km zone at approx 2300 rpm in 5th. Has anyone told fellow members you don't need a Cell Phone if you own a TJ ;o)

    Dana 30 Lunchbox Locker Versus Open

    You live in Michigan - We are almost neighbors in a similar landscape and climate - I think some of our colleges are missing the point about driving JEEP TJ's on Snow Pack or Ice and Slouchy 2 Lane HWYS or in Down Pour ;o) Yes it can be done, preferably in 4wd-Hi without lockers, I generally...

    Dana 30 Lunchbox Locker Versus Open

    I like what your saying Woodrow; but, unfortunately I'm already committed to 1541H 27 spline axles and those selectable lockers are out of my price range. For that matter do DANA 35 - 30 spine axles have bigger shaft diameters then 35 - 27 spline axles and are the Carries different or do they...

    Dana 30 Lunchbox Locker Versus Open

    Hey Lou: The Stock Spicer DANA 3 Series Carrier is being replaced with a Yukon Replacement DANA 4 Series if that makes any difference ? I will look into your "true track" suggestion - Whatever that is ;o)

    Dana 30 Lunchbox Locker Versus Open

    Please explain why - Considering the DANA 30 has Cro-Moly and the 35 has 1541H 27 spline axles ? A TJ Sport 4.0L is lighter then a Rubicon and I'm using 33" Tires.

    Dana 30 Lunchbox Locker Versus Open

    I really don't take to the 2 lane HWY 17 (Lake Head Route) if it has not been cleared of Snow and Ice. It is heavily traveled and there are some crazy drivers on it. I will cancel appointments due to snow conditions. At one time, I had no choice but to travel in Blizzards as my job demanded I...

    Dana 30 Lunchbox Locker Versus Open

    I'll definitely be using a Lunchbox in the DANA 35 Rear; however, I have reservations of installing one in the Front DANA 30. Gears are 5:13's. I live on the North Shore of Lake Huron and Winter Storms are frequent. I may travel say 40 miles on 2 lane Hwy once a month to a major Center for...

    Crown Automotive Supply Chromoly Axle Shafts

    Hey I have already conceded to the TRUTH and purchasing the 1541H Manganese Steel shafts. I did not join this JEEP TJ Forum to be a Know it All I joint for honest opinions and advice - I just might take me a little more then a simple YES or NO to convince me as I'm rather thorough minded to get...

    Crown Automotive Supply Chromoly Axle Shafts

    I seem to be late to the Joust - I kinda over slept my afternoon nap ;o) First of all I must thank all the Forum Members participating in my thread. I do highly respect the Qualified Personal handing me advise and I am not dismissing it. We all can see the damage on the outer bearing surfaces...
