ok,i hadn\'t bought them yet, cause i thought i read the 790x wouldn\'t fit pre 97\',but if you order some let me know.

[luvmyxj]

front axle in.made new lower control arm mounts from 3/16 and skid plated them.got gears and carrier to match the rear.still need to make shock mounts.also picked up a cobra 19,if anyone has a antenna or cable for sale let me know.

[MrMindless]

mmmmmm Steel Reserve.  Almost as classy as Joose :)

I have a 4\' Firestik I could part with for whatever about 80% of list price is.  it\'s just about brand new, and I\'ll use it someday.... :)

I like how your using cinder blocks to hold up the Jeep. Always wondered how many cinder blocks it would take to hold up an XJ :-D

I must ask, How did you get the Cherokee to 4 cinder block height?

[luvmyxj]

they are not cinder blocks,they are retaining wall block,these are completely solid and only 5\" tall a piece so its only 20\" in the air .i have sold those blocks with a bunch other i had and finally bought jackstands.i have a 60\" hi-lift to got it that high.

anyhoo, here she sits.rear axle complete,alls left to do in front is mount shock tabs.sitting on 34\"s.got a bunch of loose ends to tie up and do the steering,i think i\'m gonna order heims tonight .i believe these will  do.

got my new muffler in thanks to titaneric, sounds nasty.







did i mention i\'ve deceided to make it a trailer queen, thanks to smike.

[MrMindless]

smike you know better than that, weld the spiders to each other too!

not that the stock 30 shafts are going to like 34\" tires and a welded diff anyway :)


EDIT: boo typos

[carchameleon]

you mean stock 30 shafts?

[luvmyxj]

he did weld the spiders together on the other side.
30 shafts laugh at 34x10.50.35x12.50 are a different story

[smichaelR22]

all four sides of gears welded to case on both sides.  gears weled to eachother on one side, we were having splatter issues that was making more work that it was worth so i didnt weld the teeth together on the side shown.

any one of my welds would have been enough in itself since they arent under powered flux core bird droppings.

after words i was thinking i wonder if a circle track \"welded diff\" would have been better for him like eric use to run.

[smichaelR22]

and your starting with the 297 joints right, i wheeled a while with 267(?) on the CJ (35x12.50)

[luvmyxj]

yes running 297.the34 should weigh the same as a 33x12.50 ,which i\'ve never come accross someone breaking shafts while locked unless their idea of wheeling is gripping the steering wheel and pressing down with their foot as hard as they can.im more worried about the ring gear.

[MrMindless]

you have no gearset worries with 4.10s.  remember all the other recent breakage in the club has been with 4.88s.  Keith has run 4.10s with 35s for how long? and that\'s been since he put the 8.8 in the back in AZ, so that\'s a lot of miles.

[luvmyxj]

put in new front and rear driveshaft  u-joints and connected the driveshafts.front shock mounts made and installed,heims should be here monday.gonna install tranny cooler tomorrow.

[luvmyxj]

90% complete.finished heim steering,still have to relocate the lower track bar, but that can wait.have to finish some odds and ends, adjust control arms and get a rim for my spare tire,and i think i\'ll be ready for wp this coming sunday.

[smichaelR22]

looks good, those 34\'s need a router :)
