...Wow Thanks vanimal, I'll do that.

Thanks for the welcome Jeeperjohn! Nice! The weather is getting ready to cool down a bit too. Some of my crazier friends went out for 5 days the week of labor day, specifically for night rides (duh). They said it was freaking epic, but then again, they all have enclosed trailers with A/C...

Yeah vanimal I know what you're saying. That's why mixed use trails kind of spook me a little bit, and I tend to avoid any off road areas that may involve pedestrians. I make an exception with the imperial sand dunes though, I have no issues with roosting the snot out of some sierra club hikers...

$100 Detroit huh? I need to meet your people haha! Well, if I run a lock rite or an aussie, what's the worst thing that can happen if it blows? Maybe I will try to find a deal on one and run that. The $250 or so price difference can buy me a truss, or go towards other components. If it...

Vanimal, thanks for the heads up. I was at the Oceanside ecology boneyard two weeks ago and saw a few xj's and was thinking about how nice it would be to have one of those front axles, but I was alone and didn't have a way to carry it home safely. I was on a Taurus fan mission anyways and...

2001XJ, inchitis scares me a little bit hahaha! In all seriousness though I would rather have an overbuilt axle that's stronger than I need than risk nukeing a ring gear at a most inconvenient time like, say, when planted on top of a boulder. My current driveline angle bugs me a little bit...

Thanks for the input short. If you have been running 35's, 4.56's and a locker without detonating it I feel a little better about spending the time and money with my planned build. Nice looking jeep dude! Happy Friday everyone!

I have to admit that if I was going out to a trail where there are lots of cyclists/hikers sharing the area with trucks, I would be a little nervous of accidentally hitting someone or getting into a pissing contest with people that think that they have more of a right to use our land than us...

So you think I should do an HP Dana 30 swap and move forward with that if I'm going to stay at or below 33"? I might be able to find one of those at a local JY, but a lot of the XJ's I see around here at the boneyards are older, and I don't want to swap in an axle with the vacuum disconnects...

I have a 4.5" long arm kit so I am pushing the big lift barrier a little bit, but not quite there... Was thinking trussing it but did not want to get to a point to where I was throwing money at polishing a turd. Maybe 4.11's would be a better route? For the minor gains, swapping an HP 30...

Those are mean little cars. My brother has one... They take on to basic bolt-on's very well. Even though it's wrong wheel drive, that is an advantage at higher speeds, due to reduced drivetrain power loss. Good choice!

Hi everyone, Sorry if this specific application has been covered before, I was a good boy and used the search function and had no luck... So I have a 2000 XJ and am wondering if it's worth it to keep the LP Dana 30 and beef it up, or swap it out for one of those hard-to-find (at least in my...

I thought fancy trips and being an XJ owner were mutually exclusive too, until it fell into my lap hahaha!!!

Fifty four fourty six what's my number...?
