I second GoJeep. His website is terrific. I did his manual alignment (except I went ahead and had the shop physically do the alignment - I just wanted to check how much out of alignment I was before I took it in). GoJeep's instructions resulted in almost identical information as to what the...

Go to any parts store (NAPA, Schucks, etc.) and you can get the rubber "nutserts" for a fraction of what the dealer charges. A couple of years ago, I had the same problem with my '87 - I bought all that the dealership had (fortunately, they only had 3). I went straight to NAPA and got the same...

Manual tranny, 31's in the summer (during the winter 235/75R15 - actual height approximately 29 inches) and 4.88's. Been running that way for well over a year, with no problems. Of course, the nearest freeway with a speed limit over 55 is over 100 miles away. I love it, even at 70 MPH the thing...

60 seconds per mile equals 60 miles per hour. The calculation for converting seconds per mile to miles per hour is: 3600 / (seconds per mile) = (miles per hour) so 3600 / 64 = 56.25 MPH I think GoJeep has a conversion for teeth on the speedometer gear...

And you still end up: wind-blown sweaty dirty, and hot. But, at least you didn't use the d***ed ac.

This may be the way the DMV measures, but it doesn't serve the same purpose as we need (for the reason you already noted - tire size will skew the calculation). The "normal" measurement is 17.5 inches from the center of the front center cap to the bottom edge of the wheel opening in the fender...

Wait a day or two and try again. They didn't work tonight for me, either . . . but, I checked them out a couple of days ago and they both did work then.

Good choice, and it seems like you got a good deal. I'm assuming it has the 4.0 In-line 6 cylinder. If so, at 130K miles, your engine is barely broken in and should be good for another 130K easily. With a 3" lift you should probably be able to run 31's without any problem - although there are...

Here's a write-up that shows how to move the stock ones: http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/forum...threadid=465722 As far as the TJ flare install (2 sets of rears), this is a good write-up: http://www.rightcoastcrawler.com/bi...es/TJflares.htm This one shows how to trim the metal, but...

Colorado Red, it is . . . one tone as you surmised. I had already bought some touch-up paint prior to getting this printout, so I wasn't worried about the paint code being blank . . . but, thanks, anyway.

I got my printout from the parts department, too. Maybe the parts department has access to a different printout than the service department (if that's where you tried the first time)?

Here's mine for an '87 --- BTW, this is just how it came from the dealership . . . so, if yours doesn't have the description, the dealer printed off a different form - if they want to (and/or you ask real nice) they can get the info. As Yucca-Man says, there are some obvious errors on my build...

I have a Detroit locker in my D44 rear and a Lockright in my D30 front. I've driven on dry and wet pavement (not in 4wd), icy roads, packed and slushy snow, and off highway (usually in 4Hi or 4Lo). The only time I have really had a problem is way off-highway in an off-camber muddy sharp turn...

Has the previous owner installed a tcase drop? The reason I ask is that I was trying to correct a vibration after a lift, and tried a 1" tcase drop. I was able to remove the drop, because the vibration was a bad u-joint, rather than bad drive-train angles. Anyway - when I had the 1" drop in, the...

FWIW, I have an antenna that is very similar to the DS-11 on this webpage: http://www.alfenterprises.com/cb_radios/cb_antennas/whipand.htm and have never had any trouble with it when wheeling. I don't use it on the highway, so I can't give you any info as to maximum range, etc. But one time...
