Looking for some input from more experienced fab guys here. I'm working on mocking up a flat skid plate for the TJ in conjunction with a JB Conversions SS-SYE; from my initial measurements with the transfercase stuffed above the frame, I should be able to clear the skid plate by 3/16 at the...

I decided on a last minute road trip before I start my new job and I’m going to be spending a few days in Moab, at least Friday 16th - Sunday 18th. Anyone that is going to happen to be there, please let me know, I need a wheeling buddy. I’m planning on the the more difficult trails but I’m open...

"If you have to ask for opinions on your gear contact pattern, you probably shouldn't be setting up gears" Anway what do you guys think? (Revolution Gear and Axle 5.13's on my buddies rear Dana 44, with a new Eaton Detroit locker) I'm beyond happy with the toe-heel placement on both sides but...

Does anyone know the sizes of the fittings for the hard lines on a rear Dana 44 with disc brakes?

I’m reconditioning a Dana 44 out of an LJ that has the factory LSD. Is it normal to not be able to get the shafts to spin independently? On my open diff Dana 35 I can spin them oppositely and see the spider gears twist.

I picked up a Dana 44 to replace my grenaded Dana 35, but since its not under a Jeep right now I'm going to give it a thorough rust removal and painting according to Wades write-up on axle painting. What I'm wondering is how many cans of each type of spray paint will I need? Anyone thats spray...

Im putting a Dana 60 rear in my Jeep and I have a chance to get a set of rear Rock Krawler X- Factor arms for dirt cheap. They are single adjustable mid-arms for a JK. And I figured since I'm doing bunch of custom work for the Dana 60, I was considering putting these arms in. The lowers have a...

So I blew the ring and pinion in my Dana 35, and it wasn't even in a fun way offroading. It started giving me noise and vibes during my commute the past few days and locked up on my way home last night. I've decided if im going to spend money on an axle im not going to sink it into a 35, and 44s...

Getting rid of the god awful Skyjacker shocks from the previous owner has been SO long overdue. I currently have a 3 inch lift and I want to go to a 4 inch lift once I've done my SYE and DC shaft. But I would love to only have to buy shocks once. I've heard that the RS5000X run long anyway, so...

I’m getting set up to do a full respray of my TJ next month and I’m wondering about how much paint I’ll actually need. With a compact size and no roof or rear panels to paint, how much un-thinned paint would I need?

I’m doing some research for a 5.7 HEMI swap I’ve been daydreaming about and it seems that a number of people will keep the AX-15 as the transmission, especially because it bolts up directly. However, I can’t seem to find information about what upgrades are needed for it to handle the 400 (or...

Saw a craigslist posting for a TJ Dana 44 front that said it was bent less than 1/4" and could be fixed with sleeves. Is this true? And if so, I'm guessing being any more bent than this and sleeves wouldn't work? I'm not interested in buying the axle but it just got me thinking.

I was taking off my rear bumper the other day, and when taking off the vertical bolts that go through the bumper and into the frame rails, one of them broke free and started spinning. So after a sawzol, dremmel, impact chisel, and the good old crow bow/hammer combo, I now have no way to put a...

I've heard many say that one of the biggest downfalls of foreign winches, not to name any names (Smittybilt), is the 'toothepaste' grease that they use. What would be the reccomended grease for a winch? Specifically one that needs to stay water proof/resistant. A specific product name would be...

Out of curiosity, does a steering box like the one in the PSC kit fit the same as the OEM one? I'm wondering if a steering box skid, such as the Savvy one (which doesn't enclose it and trap mud) would still fit when going to hydro-assist.

I have an opportunity to jump on a Dana 60 (rear) out of an old motor home. Because its so cheap, I'll likely buy it no matter what and get it ready for a TJ. I'll chop the leaf mounts; shorten it for a TJ wheelbase; sandblast; paint; refresh the brakes. However, I only plan to run 35's on my TJ...

While window shopping Genright and UCF; I see that they offer steel and aluminum versions for most of their body armor and skid plates. Now of course the idea of aluminum everything is nice because of the massive weight savings which are crucial, but of course sometimes the added strength is...

According to my understanding; yesterday the US government passed a stimulus bill that would provide $1200 bucks to citizens. What mods would you jump on with an extra 1200 bucks?

I've got the AX-15 which is great for driving and works perfectly fine off-road for me, but once my Jeep is a little more built up I'll be getting out of the mud and finding some places with rocks, (a rarity in Florida). How common is it to use a manual on the rocks, and is it as difficult to...
