I'm not looking forward to doing the hard lines on the front my jeep this spring. I need to change my soft lines and my current hard lines look like they'll leak if you even think of touching them. I'm just going to get the pre-bent ones from the dealer.

Motronic posted:I've been considering a set of tall skinnies for my Rover now that I've lifted it a bit. I don't know anyone personally who's used them, but they seem to be well reviewed on a lot of offroading sites. I have 31's in the Gaurd Dog's. I've had em a little over a year and drive on em every day. Never had a single issue from em. They still look brand new. Mine came on Firestone Destination a/t's carcasses.

Motronic posted:My concern with the Gard Dogs was just how aggressive they were...looks great for off road but I was concerned with on road noise, wet performance and wear. I guess I can cross "wear" off that list. I've never had any issue with them in the rain and I've driven in some horrendous downpours.. They do "sing" at highway speeds but its nothing horrible, My old BFG MT's were way louder. They're certainly no where near Swampers's in noise level.

http://www.bsfab.net/?p=26 I'm sure you've seen this TC linkage mod, Me and a bunch of local jeep guys are getting together next weekend to do it on about 4 different rigs. One of the guys has done it to his rig in the past, its fairly simple, straight forward and gets rid of that stupid factory setup. The only difference is we're using Linkages for lawn mowers found at Home Depo instead of heim joints. MTD Lawn Tractor ball joints

I'm half temped to ask you to junkyard piece a 29spline 8.25 LSD with disc brakes together for me. Shipping an axle would be a pain though.

kastein posted:It would be pretty expensive, in fact it'd probably outweigh the cost savings by doing that. Not much of a pain though, an 8.25 would fit on a long narrow pallet pretty easily and they aren't even heavy enough to need anything to unload out of my truck onto a freight dock, just pick the sucker up and move it. Last time I got a freight quote for shipping an axle it ended up being around $1 per pound shipped, which puts an 8.25 shipment at around 200 just for shipping. Way above what the axle would end up being worth, IMO. I live in Maryland, I never have time to travel much.

Ferremit posted:So let me get this straight... Instead of welding a tube through the chassis/ unibody and then installing a bushing and a thru bolt with a nut they used a bolt into a captive nut? What kind of insanity is that? A captive nut that's then sealed in its own pocket outside of the "frame" rail. Thus making it totally inaccessible without cutting something.

That's how my "friend" killed my car. 60amp in a 30amp slot. ASD wire melted through out the entire engine compartment wire harness.

Tire machines are definitely on my list for my next house, along with a 4 post with the lift jacks in the middle and the wheels so I can move it to the side for vehicle storage when I don't need it for mechanical work.

Darchangel posted:I haven't been to the local Pick N Pull since they computerized and decided every little part had to be paid for. Rather than an intake manifold for a second-gen RX-7, they wanted to charge me for the lower manifold, the upper manifold, and the plenum, tripling the price to $90 - 10 years ago. I told them they could keep it and never went back. I found other local yards that were more accomodating, like what everdave is talking about. They look over the pile, charge for the largest items, and tack on $5 for "misc". LKQ around here now makes you note the vehicle you got the part from and will ask you for the information before checking you out. Oh and now they offer a warranty on every part, that you have to tell them you DON'T want or they automatically tack it on when you check out.

kastein posted:Tried to replace an exhaust donut gasket on the MJ last night, got hosed by bad parts app database info because the new one didn't fit at all. Luckily the stock one had come out intact (how many times have you had that happen? This was the only time for me, ever) so I muttered a lot while shoving it back on there and still have an exhaust leak till the actual correct one comes from Amazon. Quick google shows it fits 91-98 4.0l's and possibly the 4cyl dakota.
