My guess is that a hammer wasn’t picked up to begin with, I think progress was halted when things wouldn’t fit, without investigating what the hangup was (needle bearings). Kinda like Cletus trying to dump something into the lake.

Are there needle bearings inside the sprocket? If so, then you have an older YJ or XJ t-case and the needle bearings need to be hammered out. Then the sprocket will fit on the SYE shaft. Lubrication will still be fine. Pretty much all YJs 1994 and older need to deal with the same, and older...

A stock YJ was just over 3100 rpm on the highway with a 2.5L 5-speed. Don’t know why anyone would want less than that after regearing.

You should be going to 5.13 for 33’s. A 5-speed 4 cylinder YJ came with 205/75R15 and 4.11 gears. The nominal diameter for that size tire is 26.33”. In stock form: 70 mph - 3121 rpm 33” tire comes out to a nominal 31.5”, on average 70 mph: 4.88 - 3096 5.13 - 3255 So 4.88 will actually...

Will not work on a stock TJ front axle - must be high pinion 30 swapped Dana Spicer brand high pinion Dana 30 gear set for sale. 706930-4X set $140 shipped. $125 local pickup in DFW. 4.10 Ratio These are OEM, NOT the cheaper Dana SVL line. Good quality gears. These are still new, there is...

If I’m remembering right, @mrblaine designed the original Dana 35 c-clip eliminator for Superior. Then the other companies (Ten Factory, probably Alloy USA, Yukon, etc) copied that design. I believe it was all based on the SET10 standard which would mean you’d use the same seal and bearing that the...

He mentioned c-clip eliminator, which on a Dana 35 the old c-clip eliminator kits swapped the axle shafts to using a tapered roller bearing like shown above. The kit included bolt on adapters to install onto the end of the axle tube to make the adaptation. I believe the c-clip eliminator kits could...

I see. Take some pics of the front side, or I can go try to find that thread and look, but a quick look would confirm mostly what it would fit. Like said earlier, in the later years it really just comes down to input length and not really anything else. Both XJ and TJ have double cardan front...

Novak muddies the water up too much. They've been wrong a few times. Best to just avoid them for 231 input gear info. Clocking is done on the transmission, the transfer cases are not different in that regard.

Is this a t-case torn apart that you're just reassembling to sell? Using a long input, if you have one, would work for the most buyers. I'd market it to TJ owners probably.

I tried digging through the parts catalogs from 97-99 TJ and XJs but they were ultimately not very helpful. Some basics: All 90s and later AW4, all AX15, and all 30RH/32RH are 23-spline outputs. AX15 only required a short t-case input gear, but medium or long could be used 30RH/32RH...

"I opened a box and it looks like a fuel pump. This thing is friggin sweet!"

I'd like to know the details of that loan she signed up for.

Yeah, that doesn’t work. It’s misleading, but the LEDs being in the front sockets screws things up. The side markers depend on the front bulbs being true incandescent bulbs to work properly. The side marker bulbs get their ground through the front bulbs. If the front bulbs are LEDs, that no...

I've had a pair of Thorogood 6 " Moc Toes for about a year and 4 months that have been great. They were a bit expensive at $250, but they're the first work boot to actually last me a reasonable amount of time. They were stiff for a couple weeks and they are super comfortable now. I've worn down...
