awesome ross!
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

You can use chevy/jeep knuckles, spindles, caliper brackets, calipers, outer shafts, with ford hubs and rotors

As long as the hubs use the smaller bearings.

hmm interesting, ok... I don't even know what hubs I have, if they're the larger or smaller bearings...And also, I already have axle shafts. What makes the chevy/jeep outer shaft a requirement as opposed to the Ford? If there's any way I can use the Ford instead, I would prefer to do that... Regardless, though... If I had to pick between the two, I'm most likely going to pick doing the hydro assist before nacfest, and then hi-steer sometime after. I already have an inverted T style steering setup, so I'll save my Ballistic Fab DIY kit for when I go to the hi-steer; that way I won't "waste" anything, if that makes sense?
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

oh, damn it ross! lol, i have a yj box in my jeep currently... hmmmmmmm
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

god damn it. Well, I can't afford it this week, thats for sure. But i'll likely buy the whole setup next week if it's still around...

Thanks for the heads up Ross. (you suck!! :D)
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

im very tempted to buy that box, espically since my stock one i have has some sloop developing on the sector shaft.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Ouuuu, sorry. I beat you. :laugh3:

If I were to get this stuff, I'll sell you my non-ported YJ box if you're interested, it's in good shape. I only had it in my Jeep for two wheeling trips so far...
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

4 mounting bolts as opposed to 3, better gearing ratio. also, non variable which is nice...
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

hm....

you guys running YJ steering boxes
at least me running YJ brake lines
colin on YJ rear shocks
what else from a YJ is good on an XJ?

Go measure the ID of the inner bearings, I'll match that against the FSJ bearings I have in my hubs under my deck. An easy way to check is if the inner bearing surface diameter is somewhat bigger, vs friggen huge, compared to the outer bearing surface diameter.

Unless you do F250 high steer, you can't use a ford outer shaft. The spindles are all different length between the chevy-jeep-fords, so you need to use the corresponding shafts. The Chevy/FSJ spindle is longer than the ford, and therefore you wouldn't have enough splines surface sticking out of the spindel to fit a hub body onto, let alone the retaining clip.

And as far as "wasting" things, you will have to remount the hydro assist when you do high steer as you won't be able to use the same mounting locations, since the steering will be in different spots.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Whatever works, works :) I like YJ seats... but when I do change out my seats it will be for some nice suspension seats... I know people with TJs who have used a YJ's t-case shift linkage, I'm sure it could work on an XJ too, but I think you gotta cut a hole in the floor or something...

:bawl::bawl::bawl::bawl::bawl: alright... well at least I know now, about the hubs/spindles etc. And I'm not overly concerned about relocating the ram, that's just a couple tabs, easy enough. I just meant I didn't want to waste the ballistic fab steering kit on a non-hi steer setup.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

my edelbrock stuff got to grafton today :D
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

oh yeah? hm, so i know where those boxes would be...
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Arrrrg...
So my angle grinder as finally started giving out and needs to be replaced. So I figured I'd pick up a new one, same thing as I had before since this one held up decent and I can't afford the Milwaukee one I want. So Sear's had a $15 off online sale, so I ordered it for pickup last night. Just got this in an email:

So I got out a map showing I-495N and started calling the Sears stores I'll be passing on the way home tomorrow. Looks like I'll have to go out of my way and make a stop in North Attleboro, MA as that is the ONLY Sears along the way with them in stock.
