Yeah I can do that.

Thanks again for the critical reference measurements and pics Anak. I ended up making a few versions with slightly different lengths around the target 6-3/32" between notches until I found a solution that worked to my satisfaction. Also to echo your comment on the thickness being closer to...

Thank you very much. I didnt find anything quickly with the Bendix PN, but Ive traced over your picture as a canvas in a CAD program and have something ready to cut out of some 1/4" material to see how that does soon. Your measurement is in the ballpark of how much longer I was guessing the...

The drums I bought are Raybestos 2515R and I would venture to say these are finned (not smooth). I wasnt really aware of the potential HD v NonHD versions of the drum, I just picked one from available offerings on a 1987-1990 XJ application that cited dana 44. Apparently these are 10"x2.5".

I have an XJ dana 44 and am trying to get the parking brake working. The used axle came with no brake parts besides the backing plates. If someone knows of a new PN for the brake strut or has a dana 44 and looking to do a disc brake conversion I would love to buy some of your old brake hw. But...

Its the tapered portion of the tre that matters so you can ream it from the top just enough to work fine. The straight threaded portion might not necessarily slide in tightly but once the castle nut is torqued down the tapered portion should seat. In that chevy 1ton tie rod setup, the tie rod...

Thanks for the tip, ive got the other hatch on now and the wires transferred.

I am replacing the smashed fiberglass hatch on my '96, and the wires for the new hatch have been cut (speakers, 3rd brake light, license plate light, but i dont have rear washer/wiper). It looks like there are plugs down in the rear driver's quarter panel cavity and of course the plugs down in...

i dont know if this will help you, but i found the rear driveshaft from a grand cherokee to be 1" longer than the oem one from my 96 with ax-15 and 8.25... it postponed doing sye and new dshaft a lil bit longer.

one of many, polyperformance

a narrower axle has more options on which line to take through a given section of the trail. still, the optimal track width is somewhat unique to each situation.

cut the lower part of the hinges off so the doors can be easily removed and installed. youll have the drive the pin out and reinsert from the top on the passenger side. the wires can be unplugged. im sure there are many threads or write ups floating around here.

Are you going to mount for a hawse or roller fairlead on the front?

dana 30 joint let go, shafts contacted, dumped the knuckle, lower balljoint wouldnt go back in five hours later i picked up a bolt, washer, and a large socket out of the toolbox - he drove it to the trailer...

I guess if you have to choose only one between Top or Back it depends upon how you will be using it. Each mounted location should be similar in keeping the axle tubes from twisting but will resist impacts differently. If youre seeing any air time then definitely a top truss (or bottom if you...
