Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
So, anyone have some front tow hooks they want to let me borrow (that tie into more than the stock 3 front bumper holes) or sell for cheap?

If you wanted to make a bracket for them I have just the hooks.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Just checked my parts catalog and the 92-93 4wd knuckles are the same as the 92-93 2wd knuckles, with the 91 2wd knuckles not listed. Are they the same? Stupid question, I know...
The answer is yes for street driving at least, I stuck my old broken LCA bracket back together with a handful of 1/8" stock scraps and a 110v welder, been driving on it since September or so. I've hit some pretty mean parking dividers, potholes, dirt roads, etc.
Hmm, might have to do that, though 50 bucks for knuckle + calipers beats 60 bucks for calipers and however much for a knuckle.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Thanks, but I was looking to see if anyone had anything sitting around, pretty limited on time. I have a set of front hooks that mount to just the front 3 bolts.
Doesn't matter at the moment, I'm borrowing something awesome, in hopes of wheeling at lobster.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I have the two main brackets (or similar to them) in that pic... No tow hooks or any of the other brackets. Could let those go pretty cheap, you would just have to make the other brackets/get the hardware.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I'm no stranger to brake issues... the way I look at it, I'm driving ~140k mile (and ~208k mile) used calipers right now, if I find a C4C junker with 75k on it and the calipers look like they're in good shape, I'll use em. I would use the ones on the axle I pulled but I was so tired and pissed off that I forgot one of em in the yard, so I only have one side.
You do raise a valid point though... especially since it seems cmelo needs some of the same parts I do, I might just pick up a good set of remans. Seems rockauto has ones with pads included for 40 bucks and without pads for 24.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
thats what my stock 99 parts truck had
earlier stock tow hooks were MUCH simpler (basically just the main pieces) they were plenty strong for me when i ran them on my 91 xj back in the day (i think i had it on my 96 too)

That's dumb. I might start building a 4.7 as a side project if I can find one for cheap enough.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
yeah it's in squeegiesteve's rig now.
I've got a spare, but it looks like I'll be putting it into the MJ soon, from the angry sounds something is making... running on 1.5 liters of OLD ass oil did not make that engine happy in the least.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
yeah my camera got stolen last time they busted into my jeep :gonnablow which was before my friend bought the MJ and far before I bought it off him.
the hell with it, if it's in good enough shape I'll drive it to lobster's in two weeks since I won't be wheeling either way :roll:
It probably won't be registered by then, but it lasted the drive to/from NJ so I think it'll hold together.
Warning... it is a beat up rustbucket just like my XJ, don't expect anything pretty just yet, this summer I am planning on redoing the body work and paint if I get time.

Ken don't destroy the motor. I'll toss you some money for it if it's still decent. but I was looking at the golen 4.6L for $3600. So it's like a thousand more and if something goes wrong I have someone to yell at. Interesting.

That's the first bad thing I've heard about their stuff. Titan is another story though.
