    I will take some for you. I ran the hard lines on the front and crossed over the top of the tubes to the braided lines.

    Vibration when going over 30MPH

    It almost looks like you have to much pinion angle. Plus add in axle wrap when accelerating it would give you 2* more. Have you checked your trans mount? Have you checked the pinion for slop? Pinion bearing could be going bad

    8.8 Axle Build

    When you setup the 4 link. Did you set your pinion at the angle you needed then set your 4 link at 0*? This is how I set up my truss. When I was taking measurements it looked like I would get real close to getting into the fuel tank.

    8.8 Axle Build

    I finished the install last week end. I'll update this build post this week. With everything going on I haven't had much time. I'm using Terra Flex adjustable on both ends track bar. It's a lot easier to set up.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I looked earlier and I have 5 Dana 30, 3 Dana 35, and 2 8.8. ..The 8.8 I just geared is the only one I have had to pull more than three times. I think I was trying to get the lash as perfect as I could on my dial indicator

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    You and I see things the same way on gearing. I have re-geared a lot of jeeps. When ordering parts I always order a couple extra crush sleeves. I use a socket on a breaker bar, I turn a quarter turn , and then turn the yoke, and check with the inch pound torque wrench. I've done so many I can...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Started my jeep after two weeks of sitting. I installed a trickle charger that stays connected to the battery. $20.00 well spent. We have been on vacation in SoCal visiting family in Sun City, and spending time at Coronado Island and Laguna Beach. @Jerry Bransford It was 105 degrees when we...
