man when you get down there check out Chris' (i think that's his name) CJ. its a friggin beast. 14 bolt rear, d60 front, both shaved and narrowed. they do a lot of custom work and welding, and its a cool business that they have. it was just 3 wheelin buddies who decided they wanted to wrench...

the shop i had do some work last summer is down in Portland. i think their website is www.neoffroad.com they are all jeep guys too and they do incredible work. they wheel often too.i'd check with them, even though its a bit far. they also build custom axles. oh and the owner is an XJ guy!

thanks for the help, just got a PM from someone in NYC and he gave me a tip on a place in Manhattan. I'll try them out and hopefully everything will go well. appreciate all the help fellas.

I'm down in NYC, Manhattan actually. My jeep stays in Jersey most of the time. This is great news about the laws. Doubt there are any 4x4 friendly places, but it could also be helpful simply because they don't see many (if any) lifted jeeps. Thanks guys for the help!

Hello, I know this topic is asked about a lot and I searched, but just wasn't able to find the info I needed. I am in the process of registering my Jeep in NY State, it was reg. in Cali. Its a 98XJ, 5.5"RE lift, 33's, rigidco bumper and of course a bunch of other doo-dads. I need to know what...

is your axle lined up? you may need to re-drill your trackbar mount, cause if its hittin on one side, on the sway bar end (not the axle end) then a simple 3/4" shift of the trackbar could pull the axle over enough. i know i had troubles getting one of the sway bar disconnects to line up before i...

the gap is still there with the 231. i ended up having to use all three of the spacer plates, but that's partly due to my RE LCA drop bracket/brace.

anywhere from 4"-4.5" should be fine

don't mean to state the obvious....but you do know that the Tom Woods shaft is supposed to be longer than your stock one? Once you install the RE H&T SYE it should fit, it might be fully compressed though. Are you getting any vibes? even if you aren't you should definitely install the SYE...

get a torque wrench too

Trxus MT's are great. quiet on the road and they actually measure their advertised height! cheaper than MTR's too

Just take your time and go slow! Even if you take your time cutting, drilling, and tapping, the whole install will probably only take 1-2 hours at most. It really just sounds more difficult than it really is. Also, there is a little room for error in drilling the hole in the center of the output...

might make it too, new to the area would like to meet up with some folks to go wheel with.

i ordered mine from redrock two days ago, i figured for that price, its worth a shot. if it turns out to be crap, its only 80 bucks right? i'll post pics if you want once i get mine. oh and i have the 231

Guess I should add my pics here with some stats. 98 XJ Sport, D30/8.25 stock gears and open for now (4.56's on there way), RE 5.5 XD, Bilstein 5100's all around, JKS adj. trackbar, JKS QD's, RE SYE with HAD driveshaft, Rigidco front bumper, C4x4 tow hooks, AJ rockrails, 33" Trxus...
