thanks for the quick replies. I've been looking over factory specs and it seems that both transmission and differentials are supposed to use 75w90 (gl3 and gl5 respectively) gear oil. So if 10w30 is substitutable in the transmission does that mean it is also is ok in the diff's? if not whats...

so it would even be ok to use the castrol 10w30 synthetic i already have and use in my motor? thats too tempting to pass up if it's proven to work just as well

I believe the consensus is redline mt90 is the best? (correct me if i'm wrong about this, or if there are cheaper equally good alternatives). my real question: how much transmission fluid does the ax15 hold? i know it is impossible to overfill, but i don't know and can't find about how much it...

i been looking at that same part on quadratec. going by the picture i think it works for <96 because 97+ has a battery temp sensor hole and seat in the bottom of the tray, i could drill the hole but i cant make a seat/lip like the real part has.. dealer wants $60 which is a terrible rip off any...

while loosening my battery from tray (long bolts on either side) one of the bolts broke the plastic battery tray before the nut would give. (was barely pushing.. brittle plastic) the ring on the plastic tray is now broken making the bolt useless and battery is not really tied down anymore. does...

...did you even read my post? the tie rod is not what im asking about at all, i know this already and have done the mod if you actually read what i wrote. i am asking about the draglink which is composed of a long tre ds1238/1310, a short tre ds3096L and an adjuster sleeve; the question is about...

Anyone know if there are Thor's for 2dr xj's? or do thw 4dr's work anyway? also how are these held on? pop rivets?

i have done the zj v8 tie rod upgrade as well as a new drag link tie rod end at the pitman arm my tie rod end at the pass knuckle (draglink) is also due for replacing and this tie rod end is the entire draglink (one piece, look under a factory xj if unclear). i am wondering if the zj drag link...

I need to paint a bumper i have and would like to get it done right the first time. I am looking for the most durable/lasting paint you can get preferably in a rattlecan & black finish (preferably flat black). I'm pretty much looking for an alternative to powdercoating. products i'm...

does rustoleum make both? i was unaware of the difference. i have 2 cans of the 'hammered' to paint my bumper, would you guys recommend getting stronger stuff? how weak is this paint?
