Ross, I managed to get a pair of 42s into the back of red jeep, I could have fit 3 but didn't want to lift another and was only 1 inch off the bumpstops by then.
4dr is practical for people carrying, but for carrying junk around i love my 2dr. i almost never have the rear seat up and have a piece of plywood cut to fit the entire area.
i love hanging my arm out the 2dr window opening much better
This. After driving 2dr vehicles for the last 6 years I hate driving in 4dr vehicles now. And it's one of the few reasons I hesitate to buy a truck. I like the longer door.
Yeah, that thought crossed my mind though idk how it would look. Might look a bit odd. would have to be a ridiculously small back seat too, I would think it would only be enough room for maybe a bit more interior storage.
Score!!! Looks like I found somebody who wants to trade my open 8.8 carrier for their posi 8.8 carrier. Red jeep will be able to leave nice looking rubber marks now :greensmok
I've come up with a harebrained scheme to avoid welding WJ knuckles... redrill WJ unit bearings for 5 on 4.5 (been done, works fine according to many people) and use a WJ outer built for a U-joint, which should put the U-joint on the centerline of the balljoints. I could use XJ/TJ/MJ outers except that the splined section and threaded end are not long enough to go through a WJ unit bearing with enough thread engagement.
In the end I'll probably just do it the way everyone else does, XJ 99.5-up unit bearings + XJ shafts and the weld on spacer, just trying to see if this would work.
EDIT: yeah, this is a straight up retarded idea, new stub/outer shafts alone will cost more than the savings and that's assuming I never have to replace them.
