I too am having the exact same problem as the OP. I recently installed a dana 30 from a 79 CJ5 with a disc brake set up. I suppose I might have...
Thanks. I found it hard to believe disc brakes were main stream on anything produced by Jeep in that time period. I did however see the...
Found a dana 30 front axle out of a '73 commando. It was $60 bucks with the disc brakes already on it but missing a caliper so I figured why not....
Problem is, most people who take their jeeps to a mechanic(like I was doing at the time) probably haven't found this website as a resource yet. I...
Hm you are correct. I told the mechanic at the time to just match 4.11 gears in the rear but he went on about how I wouldn't like it "that low"...
Awhile back, I had the gears replaced in my front dana 30(long story short, the PO had 4.11 gears - don't ask - in the front and 3.54 gears in the...
I appreciate all the input but I have to say that's pretty lame that the PO had those springs put on and didn't raise cane over it. I honestly...
That's funny because looking at the springs leafs thickness and arc I didn't think it looked any where near what 4" lift springs look like. I'm...
Ah okay I gotcha now. Is there a another(stock?) measurement I can compare this to?
Ouch that must've been one rusty tub! Can't say there's much more on mine than some surface rust. Timgr-I don't quite follow. What exactly is...
I'm hoping someone can help me figure out where the hell my 4" of lift went! I've attached some photos as it looks right now on 33" tires. The...
Not to hijack, but I ironically have the opposite problem(sorta). My temp gauge needle slowly progresses all the way to the other side and reads...
Anyone have any experience with these? I've got a line on 4" pro comp yj springs with spring pads/u bolts/spring plates for pretty cheap. My jeep...
Ah the things I never think of R)
Thanks! I'll try to look up that Rebel place as I'm in Fayetteville. Does the latch have a paticular name or should they know what I'm talking...
I just recently purchased a fiberglass top for my CJ5. I've ran a search but didn't find any answers to my question. Mounting it won't be an...
Thanks guys! I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, although I did get a few runs in it but nothing too bad. The paint was easy to mix....
Thanks guys! -Jack, I got them off ebay a little over a year ago. I payed around 300 shipped. The brand is FX Tuner. Here's a link to a set on...
First off, many thanks to everyone who chimed in on my "thoughts on painting" thread. All of the advice/input was much appreciated. That said, I...
Since you said you are looking to buy a CJ, I'll assume you mean both CJ5's, and 7's. If you don't have the overwhelming desire to have a v8...
