Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

So early chevy's and FSJ's have the small bearing spindles, when did they change to big bearing? Maybe I will just go with all chevy outers/knuckles/etc. Use chevy disks, chevy flat tops, etc...

I am sure I am just being dumb but if I were running everything from a [late] 80s FSJ (grand wagoneer), why couldn't I run the big bearing spindles?

its all confusing to me

i always thought chebby and jeep were interchangeable

then i needed a spindle and a buggy of mine gave me a spindle from a same year axle as mine but a chevy.

and it was the correct except for the diameter of the bearing surfaces.

i think ima hood pin mine when i stop trusting it.

when the 96 caught on fire i was able to open the hood, but when the fire was out and i got home the cable was fooked.

and its not exactly easy to get an xj hood open when the cable is snapped/siezed without minimal damage. unless someone has a trick i am unaware of

awesome. will do.

Edit: My only questions is that the thread references swapping from 6 to 5 lug... I was thinking along the lines of keeping it 6 lug, could I keep the big bearing spindles? Guess not. Now I am confused. I think the only way I will figure this out is to go buy an axle and have it in front of me to figure out why it won't work :dunno:

I have heard vague rumors that you can unbolt the latch brackets from the header by going through behind the header panel/removing the headlights, but I haven't verified it yet.

Yeah, I was told "just use a pair of pliers, there's the end of the cable" when I got mine Was one of the first things I fixed.

Robs Hillbilly idea of the day

re route dryer hose into the garage for heat, thoughts?

 

[themangeraaad]

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

thoughts?

Brilliant!

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

you'll get a lot of moisture with it. dryers are designed to dump the heat into the dryer itself, not out the hose. that being said, give it a shot while you run a load and see what happens :gee: it might help
