    Rubicon Express Long Arm Replacement?

    I’m in the same boat as well. I’ve had the RE long arm kit since 2004. What about Clayton arms? They look similar to the RE arms. They used to sell a set of arms specifically marketed as an upgrade for the RE arms.

    Another Gear Pattern Check Request

    I’m regearing a HP30 from a 99 XJ that I’m going to swap into my TJ. Backlash is only 0.006, so I still need to adjust that a little, but I think I’m getting close on pinion depth. Shims behind inner pinion race: 0.030 RGS: 0.053 NRGS: 0.042 This is my first time setting up gears, so I wanted...

    Vanco 15" Big Brake Kit

    Is this still available? I'm putting together a HP30 from an XJ and want to go this route, but the BMB site says SOLD OUT. SAVVY site has it, but I know they've had issues recently and I don't know if I can trust their site. I guess I'm just curious if this is still an option or not. I'm getting...

    Regear Question - Oil Slinger

    I’m finally getting around to rehearing the HP Dana 30 I pulled from a 99 XJ. I’m going from the stock 3.55 to 4.56 and using Revolution gears and their master install kit. Before I press the inner bearing on, I had a question about the oil slinger. The one included in the revolution kit is...

    Long Arm Upgrade

    I’m pretty sure Clayton builds custom arms too.

    Antique TJs

    MS is the same way. I just renewed my tag last week and can get an antique tag when it expires next June. We don’t have any inspections here, but you pay $50 when you get the antique tag and then you never have to pay again.

    North Carolina Looking for shop in Charlotte, NC

    I haven’t lived in Charlotte in over 10 years, but there used to be a place out on Tryon called Tarheel 4WD. They were great but not cheap. CMD near south Blvd used to be good and reasonable too. I think Almar might be your best bang for the buck to get back on the road.

    No wipers

    Sounds like what mine did when the motor went out.

    Arkansas Mid-South (TN, AR, AL, LA, MS, MO, KY, TX, OK) Get Together Oct 22-24 at HSORV

    I’m in too! Would prefer AL or AR for convenience Any weekend works for me except the 2 weeks around the 4th Cabins or a Hampton or HGI work but I don’t mind pitching a tent either. On the 1-5 scale I’d be up for a 4. I don’t mind going first, but I’d use the term “lead” loosely if it’s...

    Re-gear and Front Carrier

    I think the carrier break on the 30 is 3.54 and down and 3.73 and up. If that is correct, then there’s no reason to get a new carrier. Skip the LS and go lunchbox locker or full case locker like arb or Eaton e-locker. FYI the powertrax no slip is back ordered until at least August.

    Are those still the stock upper arms in the front?

    Does anyone know what size bolts I need for this fuel line bracket on the exhaust manifold?

    I can’t find my gauge to measure the thread pitch, but the head is 10mm. Bolt is about 5/16 (or probably 8mm) and is about 5/8” long. Hopefully that helps.

    Does anyone know what size bolts I need for this fuel line bracket on the exhaust manifold?

    I’ve got a 97 4.0 5-speed too. I can check tomorrow if no one responds before then.

    Powertrax No Slip Part Number

    Does anyone know the part number for the Powertrax No Slip locker for the front Dana 30? I'm trying to order one, but even the powertrax website gives me 2 different models 2210-LR and 9204302700. I don't think it matters, but this is for a HP Dana 30 from a 1999 Cherokee. I found one on Morris...

    Do different 4.0 cylinder heads have different exhaust manifold to head mounts?

    I put the later 2-piece manifold on my 97 head with no problems. I used the gasket for the 2-piece manifold and plugged the O2 sensor ports. Walker makes a y-pipe that will bolt up to the 2-piece manifold and run down to about where the single cat would be. I ditched the cat and just had a local...
