There might be better but I have had good luck working with Mr. Muffler on 2100s and west temple. (not Master Muffler) It is at least worth going by and talking to him. a couple of pics are on post #78 http://www.rme4x4.com/showthread.php?83436-Nathan-and-Tanja-s-99-XJ-Build-up/page6...

I have never been a big fan of stock rear dana 60's, usually they have 30 spline week shafts and are not much stronger than a ford 9 or d44. You can find Ford 9's and gm 14 bolts in junk yards for $100-$200. That being said if you have the housing and are going to re-gear and lock it you can...

That is just what I was looking for And that is just what I was looking for Now I need to decide if my exhaust and cooling system could handle being stroked... Nathan

I sold my stock xj axles (99 hp 30 and the higher spline 8.25 3.55 ratio) for $350, which was more than I expected to get. Nathan btw I have narrowed d60/gm 14bolt but with not much backspacing and my tread sticks out about 6 inches in the front

I agree, there are some things you can do to help the d30 live a bit longer (the bigger u-joint axle shafts etc) but yeah there is not really any practical bolt in axle from a yard. I am sure dynatrac or someone would be more than happy to build a bad ass axle that would bolt in. For the rear...

When I posted about a month ago I searched the internet for optima horror stories. I found very few from the past few years, It seems like most of the issues were from about 2008-10, or 11. Has anybody had any recent failures with Optimas? (purchased since 2011) I guess Flexyfool's...

That's what I was afraid of, the biggest bummer is that it is right in front of the driver so it is constantly staring at me. After 10 years I doubt they have records going back that far, it was also done when my dad owned it in New Mexico, so I am not going to try to pursue it. Damn just...

I came out of work today and had a nice spot on my hood that the clear coat had bubbled up. I have some bubbles on the roof but you don't really look at the roof on a full size truck. Are there any good DIY clear coat repair methods? The only reason this bothers me is that it is staring at...

That sounds right to me too. I have a double flare tool that has 5 sizes and I have only ever used the 3/16. (actually broke my 3/16 die and had to order another set of dies, so I have duplicates of 4 sizes that I have never used) I used 77 chevette front soft line to go out to the caliper...

Bush gave a short term loan... against congressional approval. But look at his record, he assigned money to the auto industry when he didn't have to, he was not up for re-election, the presidential election was over, he had no personal consequences of doing nothing. (It was after the 2008...
