The cross pin has a flat side. Can someone tell me which direction the flat side should face? Toward the locker bladder, the direction the gear teeth face, or the other way?

My’98 TJ. I got it about a year ago. This is how it looked when I got it. 3.5” Rancho lift. 33s. Roof rack. 2.5l that was rebuilt and bored 0.20 over. 4.10 gears. That’s about it. Everything else is stock. I also bought a rear Dana 44 from the seller. He got it from...

I just ordered 2 of these 12v air pumps. Max operating pressure is 300 mm hg, which is 5.8 psi. Volume is 2.0 Litres/min. I’m still looking for the specification sheet to figure out what the duty cycle is. But at $3.50 each I can just hook it up and see how long it’ll go. I’m also curious if...

I've been patiently watching FB marketplace and Craigslist for good deal on a V8 donor. My TJ is '98. So CCD Bus. I've been mostly watching for a 96-98 ZJ with a 5.2L to match the CCD. But today I found a 1996 Ram 1500 with 200k miles. 5.2L Automatic. According to this chart the 96 ram is also...

Assuming good condition, what is a good price for a '97 AX15 from an XJ?

I’m wanting to build some weld on bead lock wheels. I’m wondering what wheel width would be appropriate. I found some 15 x 7 steelies from an Explorer for a good price. I know that the bead lock rings will add 1” to 1 1/2” to the width. I am on 33s now but want to go to 35s. Would 33/12.50-25...

I removed the jugs a while ago but hadn’t got around to trimming the bumper until today. I started by masking the area. I poked out the holes so I’d know where they were relative to my cut line. Then I used electrical tape to rough out a few options until I found one I liked. This wasn’t...

I've searched for this subject here and found threads about alternatives like the Kia pump and the other vehicles that used it. I've read that the Rubicon Dana 44 locker needs about 5 psi, or maybe like 3-8 psi, correct? So I got to thinking about low pressure pumps, like for fish tanks. After a...

I’ve been watching for a while. Junkyards here want $200+ for axles. A guy in the local 4x4 club wanted $100. But one finally came up on FB marketplace. It’s from a 96 XJ. $25. It will need brake parts and such, but I think it’s a good start. I’m still researching what parts I can bring over...

I found a hp30 for $150 obo. I think it's from an XJ. I'm waiting on the build tag to confirm what it's from. I'm thinking of offering $100. It's complete rotor to rotor. Not sure that matters much since I would rebuild, re-gear, and truss it anyway. It would be a 225 mile round trip to pick...

I was reading about this swap on another forum. Here's what someone said: "A late 90's 2.5 Dakota bell housing with an ax15 will work but it is a bit of a swap. You will have drive shaft length issues since the ax15 is a bit longer." I read on Novak that the AX5 is 15-5/8" long, and the AX15...

I’ll be installing my cb today. Do you guys leave your antenna installed all the time? Or just when you need it on the trail and such.

Had a great drive today. Nothing fancy. Logging roads and such. I'm getting used to how it drives. It was only 4 hours, but great scenery and beautiful weather. I crossed the Continental Divide a few times. Nice and cool up at the high elevations. Snow is holding on in a few places. I think I...

Apologies in advance for the long post. I'm researching options. I just bought this a few days ago. It's a 1998 SE, 242k miles, 2.5L 5 speed. The guy I got it from bought it in 2014, stock condition. The 2.5L was rebuilt and bored 0.20 over at some point before he bought it. He installed a...

Are the stock suspension springs, arms, etc. the same for 99 and 02?

My daughter graduates high school this year. She's been driving a Dodge Durango for a couple of years. She half-jokingly calls it a Mom-car. I mostly agree with her. So for her graduation present we asked her what she might like. Without hesitation she says "A Jeep!". Little did she know what...

I have a stock '99 SE that I picked up a couple of weeks ago. Recently I came across a stock suspension from a '05 TJ Rubicon. Factory height springs, control arms and tie rods, Rancho 5000 shocks. $100 obo. I'm wondering if this would be an upgrade for the '99, or maybe not worth the effort...
