If you're still 5x4.5 I have brackets for you. Pm me. I went to 5x5.5 and was running crown vics changed brackets and rotors and reused my calipers. Shoot if you need to rotors I have those too. ...Frank

I have brackets and rotors for a setup using el dorado calipers. I am still using my calipers but got different bracket and rotors for the new axle. TSM makes the parts I have. I'll give you the brackets and rotors for $100 plus shipping. You'll need the calipers and an e-brake cable both of...

I have a skyjacker one for an XJ laying in my garage, cost me a bit, take 75 shipped for it. It drops about 3 inches or so and is darn thick.

I need an auto trans kickdown cable

I need some pics of how your driveshaft lines up versus your exhaust. I had already been having issues with clearance between a borla header and my old front ds from the d30, and with a 77 eb44 installed the pinion is slightly more rightward, and so my clearance issue has gotten worse...

Tom's ujoints are solid. So where in Iceland? I have family all over that island. Of course, they are into Harley's and not jeeps (not much help) but they have the same issue getting parts. We usually have carry-on luggage with bike seats and whatnot stashed in them. Costs less for them to...

I abandoned a 4bt swap, the cost will eat you alive. I was going to use the nv4500 trans, you can get them freshly-rebuilt and shipped to your door just under 1000 dollars from GCParts (very large rebuilder, I can get contact info to you if you need it, it was 963 dollars on a pallet from the...

My wife and I are about sick of the Washington DC area and have no desire to raise our daughter here. We love hiking camping jeeping. I'm a software developer with some decent experience on my resume. I don't want to live anywhere where hurricanes hit. Where would you go? Why? Thanks...

That's exactly how my thinking went until I had them. It's not the 'in snow' part that matters, it's 'in turns' that matters and having to accomodate different length arcs with wheels that want to turn the same speed (locked). You learn to drive differently with lockers (whether that be...

It's way more interesting when you have no-spins front and rear.

Harder to turn more windings in higer-amp alts. Mine went down a wee bit as well. Just more magnetism to overcome in order to produce more electrical flow.

had to cut my rear flares to clear welded on rails as well... you cannot tell looking at it... let me mention that that plastic will re-glue itself as you cut from the heat of cutting... was pretty funny to do...

ok, i've been running cadillac el dorada calips/rotors on the back for a good while. I just finished bolting together a eb44 front and to make the rear 5x5.5 I went out and obtained a pair of new superior chromo rear shafts. My problem is that the diameter of the flange through which the wheel...

I have the borla front-to-back setup minus cat (hiflo cat added) and mine is an 88 renix with aw4. I'd advise against it. I can send pictures later if you need... but basically I kept flexing my front ds ujoint into the header and having to weld the holes that made closed again. I've probably...
