idler pulley. lower coolant hose. had to replace both on trail.

120 psi is a bit much isnt it? that can be dangerous in a tire. Id set the shut off to a lower value

It is good practice to replace both gearbox and pump at same time, plus flush the hoses. Debris from a failed pump can ruin a gearbox, and visa versa. I installed an inline filter on the steering fluid line. Magnafine brand filter. You running stock tires or big ones? the Dodge Dakota...

What are the recommendations for brand and type of trackbar drop bracket brace? My drop bracket loosens up at the frame and ends up making a pop noise upon turning the steering, we tighten the drop bracket bolts and the pop stops, but eventually it loosens again. my thought is a brace that...

Hi all... I was at Pick n Pull in Salinas Calif. and got some 33 inch long ( roughly, bushing to bushing) lower control arms from an XJ. I could not get the frame brackets as they were welded on ( also got a winch bumper and some Napier flares, thanks to Radistrad letting me know it was...

What do you all think of the CAVFAB long arm. It has a unique body side upper arm mount, the mount is rotated 90 degrees from the usual orientation. What do you all think of this? See link for it below... https://cavfab.com/products/alpha-series-3-link-full-kit-xj?variant=40873554641045

PS I am also at the point of considering trussing the D30, I need to regear anyway as I have 4.11 now. also considering front frame stiffeners at same time. I really need to weld my track bar drop bracket to the frame, so might as well weld it to a stiffened frame. Tell me, do you all...

Hi Evan What brand of long arms you have, or did you make your own? What is your lift height, and are those 35 inch tires? How much up and down articulation do you have with the 12 inch range shocks? I need to decide if I should lower my rig a bit, but gain more down travel. On rock...

Now on the three link, can one simply install a four link set up and remove one of the upper arms to make it into a three link, or are their other differences such as body mounting points involved with a three verses a four link system?

I will likely have a hard bushing like a johnny joint or such on the body side, it looks like standard rubber bushings are usually used on the axle side, is that correct?

How big an improvement in articulation will a three or four link long arm give verses the short arms? (Note I have drop brackets for my short arms now) Note I do rock crawling so articulation is needed. also how much will improved articulation help with reducing tip overs on an extreme...

I am looking maybe into long arms. I have a 1990 XJ, 33x12.5 MT tires, 6 inch lift, Atlas II transfer case, center frame stiffeners, front D30 with locker, ford 9 inch rear with TruTrac, and rock rails (real beefy rock rails that I modified with four legs and era pinch seam attachments) I do...

Fourth gear for 1990 and before of the AW4 is 0.705 ratio, for later AW4 the ratio is 0.75 , the output spline count also changed at this time.

I used this over flow tank... https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/dorman-oe-solutions/engine-cooling/coolant-recovery-tank--universal-/7372d3db0653/dorman-oe-solutions-coolant-recovery-tank/doe0/603001?pos=1 I removed the renix pressure tank, and the shelf for that tank. I then mounted this...

Working with rob to fix this...One thought we have is to move in the toe in a turn or two of the tierod, note the original position, then test drive to see if that makes any difference at all. If it makes no difference put it back. Consider an alignment. Tightening the bolts did improve the...
