are the solenoid's and wire colors the same as pre97? I dont remember if the 97 has an input speed sensor or not. I actually knew a little about the model differences in the aw4 from my reading when i done the 4wd swap. but that has all left my brain since last year. I would be all about some...

been searching google/pirate/here for a write up to "manually" shift aw4. with my doubler my jeep go's from 1st to 2nd too early for my liking. on top of this I have to stop to put either case in high. I'd much rather just be able to put trans in 3rd or 4th gear to achieve the speed I desire...

do it

Caster ended up 5* (still don't know where there getting this reading) after adjusting caster he said toe would be off so he re adjusted that and got it back to 3/16"toe in. Drives so much better than before. Just what I expected I knew it wasn't going to be a Cadillac but what I was dealing...

alignment shop was open this morning and they got it

Top of knuckles were around 2 I got them to 4* and it made a world of difference and still no d's binding. I'm going to try it a bit more in the morning and see how far I can go. Thanks for the help

There should be 0 slack in my steering. I'm running a doubler so my front drive shaft is a bit longer than stock, I'm hoping this will allow me to run the correct caster and still avoid vibes

Thanks Ron, basically my only question is exactly where to check it. I plan to do it myself, I figured a shop with proper equipment could do better than I but I guess I was wrong

I took my jeep to get it aligned and the tech said he could not adjust caster. I was in a hurry so i just picked it up and took it home to mess with it myself. The jeep actually drives straight, i checked toe in using stock wheels with no tires, I wired a 4' level to each wheel and leveled...

I can tell you just by reading that some of these posts are not based off experience. Base your $50k purchase on your opinions. let the facts do the rest of the speaking.

Re: Price Search your local jeep forums and Craigslist you could probably find some axles geared already. And I'd ditch the 35 too. My bet is you could find geared axles cheaper than you could regear your existing

I just assumed it needed to be flipped. I'm running a d300 in the back and it's drivers side drop. Would my front ds clear?

while mocking mine up I noticed I am going to have to cut a huge amount of sheetmetal from the passenger side of trans tunnel to the point I am not sure how the passenger seat is going to fit. I know I'm not the first person putting one of these in an xj. lets see what you guys did. I need some...

I'm at the end of my bolt on build. I'm running a box4rox np231/d300 d30 and 8.8 I am aware the price of shafts but am I paying for a name with high angle and/or tom woods? Before I added the box4rox I threw the 231 in the jeep just so I could move it around. sitting at ride height the stock...

get what you can afford. I get so tired of everyone saying you need a diesel to pull a jeep anywere you go. Get a low mileage half ton. the fuel mileage the other 27 days a month you arent pulling are pretty nice. Right now diesel is almost $1 more a gal than gas were I live. and for the record...
