Unfortunately I had to sell my XJ so I have alot of XJ stuff that I do not need. All stuff will be shipped from Oregon, 97405. Buyer pays shipping. AW4 pan - good for a spare or replacement. In perfect condition. $20 One stainless steel braided brake hose for front - never been used...

No, I decided that it would be easier to just trade it in for a new rig. Sorry. Bryan

A few more things I have a Currie slip yoke eliminator with Tom Woods CV shaft. Ball joints, steering and drive-line u-joints new, as are the front wheel bearings.

I am moving from Oregon to Ohio in a month and need to sell my Jeep before I go. Not too happy about it, but I guess that is life sometimes. It is a 1996 SE with 123,000 miles, six cylinder w/automatic/NP-231. Has A/C, cruise control, Kenwood Excellon cassette head unit, with four alpine 6.5”...

I have a complete OEM steering linkage for sale for $50 shipped anywhere in the lower 48. All TREs are good, and the tie-rod and stabilizer are about a year old. WIll be shipping from oregon, but I will include shipping with price. E-mail me if interested [email protected] Pay Pal prefered.

The only problem I had when I did that install a few monthes ago was in the instructions there are no pictures showing where the damn motor goes! Well, it goes behind the battery and bolts to the fender sheet metal if you didn't know. Other than that, it is really easy. You will need a long...

To be honest, I have no idea what year Chevy Shackles they are. My friend put 1/2 ton Chevy springs on his toyota and the wrecking yard included the shackles for free. The narrow (frame) end needed to be narrowed about 1/4-3/8" to fit in the pocket in the frame. I am pretty sure that any 1/2...

Anyone know the thread Rusty' uses on his adjustable trac-bar. I know the TRE's if it isn't the heavy duty is from a CJ, but what is the thread?

Rusty's uses a 1/2" bolt. 5/8" seems pretty big to me.

Here is a picture of the Chevy shackles estended Compared to full compression: Here is a picture from underneith. You can see how I spaced out the lower bumper bolt compared to how much thread is exposed in the upper bolt (make sense?). Bryan

Ther isn't a "best" backspacing, it all depends on what you want. I would reccoment 4.5" or there abouts. That will get the tires away from the body but not so much it looks wierd or hs the potential of causing handling problems. The farther the wheel centerline is outboard, death wobble...

I bought my Reamer (aka taper thingy) from Goodson's part number TR-216-2. It is from a 85 K5 blazer, so you could get the TREs from any parts store. The part numbers are ES 2234R, ES 2233L, ES 2027L, and ES 2026R. The TRE on the pitman arm is a high angle TRE, but I don't know which of the...

By the way, that picture is pretty much at full compression, so the shackle is pushed back about as far as it goes. My Rusty's 2" lift shackles would have hit the box before that. If you didn't know, Chevy shackles prived about .75" of lift if I am not mistaken.

You should get Chevy 1/2 ton shackles. They way they are made produces a boomerang effect so they will swing back farther than straight shackles before hitting the end of the box. Also, if your shackles do hit the bumper bolts, get some washers and space the bolt out as far as you can and...
