TJs arent in jeep speed. XJs are.

I need the 29 splines 8.25 shafts and the carrier. If you have either, please let me know. thanks.

It would prolly be ur fuel filter

the 8.25 has little "ears" at the bottom, well, its actually flat at the bottom. The 35 is oval. The 8.25 is a lot bigger so its easy to tell that way. They are both c-clip axles but with smaller axle tubes and housing, the 35 tends to "flex". The 8.25 has giant tubes which makes it stronger...

ive heard mixed feelings about value gears. I guess it all depends on your driving style. im also goin to be repalcing gears soon.

its a .78 so it looks like ill be over 3 grand. thats fine, i never drive 80 anyways. rarely do i. the only freeway driving i do is to hollister hills about an hour away and to my grandma's house 5 minutes away so... ill be alright. thanks for all ur help. ill take pics of the install.

know anyone with motive gears? heard bad or good about them. thanks. Ive also got a 5 speed so i thnk 5th gear will keep the revs below 3 grand easy at 80.

OH, the gears are Motiv Gears. Ive heard there strong and reliable. Any thoughts on those? thanks

well, at ACCU Auto Parts, i found 2 4.10 ring and pinion sets for the 8.25 and dana 30 front. A new carrier for the 30, 2 master install kits, and a techinical video cause i will be doin this my first time. Total is 518 bucks. I only have 31s, so 4.10s is good enough for sure, i know. BUT...

thanks for the reply. What gear sets would you guys recomend using. I would like Yukon because ive heard of rhtere reliabilty and strength. Precision is just a little more where im uying my gears freom and motive is a little less (price). Total with the yukon front and rear with master kits...

Ive got 3.07s in my dana 30 and 35. I want to upgrade to 4.11s to bring my 4.0l back to its power band after the 31s robbed it of power. I know that for the 8.25 that im swapping in, a new carrier will not be needed as the stock gearing is 3.55. What i need to know is for the front dana 30...

alright, thanks guys for all ur help! but what about the E-brake cable? i heard that it doesnt "bolt right in" to the 8.25, any thoughts?

are the u-joints the same size in the 8.25 and 35?

alright, thanks guys. Will my emergency brake line work with the 8.25? Will Dana 35 u-joints work/fit in the 8.25 yoke?

alright, so ive got an 89 with an NP231 t-case. Im swaping in a chrysler 8.25 in the rear with 3.55s. Ive got 3.07s in the front and i just wanted to make sure that driving with mismatched gears for a while, till i get more money, would be alright as long as i dont shift into 4hi or 4lo. thanks...
