I just built a box to hold a coolant overflow tank out of a piece of siding metal, which I have a lot of it left, thats what give me the idea. I had a 66 jeep truck and the flares that it had are close to what I have in mind. I just cant spend $500 for a set of rubber bushwackers, although I...

Wonder how hard it would be to make a set of flares out of metal? First let me say that they are not going to be put on a show vehicle, so they dont have to be perfect. I was thinking along the lines of the old jeep trucks with the step side beds. Cut out the shape, two cuts, bend into shape...

I traded a 1998 tj for a car for my wife so I could get a 1978 cj-7. Probably different from what most would do but Ive got a plain, simple to work on "sleeper". Yeah a rubicon could follow me on the trail and ride better on the highway for sure, but Ive less than 6k in my cj compared to about...

I have a 78 cj-7 with a 401, 4 barrell and factory exhaust manifold's with 2 glass pack muffler's. It also has a 4 core radiator, dual oil filters and oil cooler. I put a 180 thermostat in it last winter so I could have hotter heat. Now it's got a 160 thermostat and it still get's warm idling...

I had the dana 44 in my jeep for about ten years with 3.07 gears in it. At highway speeds it rode ok, not smooth but ok. I did have to change a rim once because of a wooble and that fixed it. When I put the detroit locker and 4.09 gear in it I took the empty housing and parts to the shop. Then I...

I have a set of dana 44's out of an international scout in my cj-7. I've noticed that there is a wobble on the rear tires. I jacked the rear-end up and removed the tires, started the motor and put it low gear. I could definately see the wobble, it's not much but it's there. I just had a new ring...

You should have a dana 300 x-case which is a very good case. Don't know much about the motor, bell housing or trans. I have a t-18 with the adaptor and a dana 20 x-case for $600 if interested. Nothing wrong with them, I took them out to put another t-18 with a dana 300 in my jeep. Also I have a...

I thought about that, changing the gear ratio again. The dana 44's had 3.07 gears in them until a few week's ago. That was really to high for the street. When the jeep belonged to my buddy it 4.10's, T-18, and a dana 20 x-case, low crawl ratio was about 53-1. With the 3.07's and a dana 300 the...

I have a 78' CJ-7 with a 401/T-18/dana 300/dana 44's with 4.09's/33" tires. I'm wanting to go with 35" tires when I get another set. The dilemma is that now with the 4.09 gear's, my jeep is really a gas hog. What I was wondering was if anyone has ever put something like a Toyota 20/22r 4cyl with...

I got a ? about the detroit unlocking. When does it unlock, and should I be able to hear it? Seems like I can never hear it unlock, but I can alway's hear the tires scratching the pavement during turn's

Ggg got it right. That's just about exactly how my jeep is handling with the new detroit in the rear. I don't mind the tires chirping every now and then but what I don't like is when I'm pulling out and turning and the locker unlock's while under throttle and theres a loud ''BANG'' and then a...

I just put one in the rear of my jeep and I'm not sure if I like it or not. I had a lockrite in it a few years ago and it seemed ok but this detroit is much harder to unlock I think and when it does you definately know it. I have not been offroad yet and that's where it will shine, I hope anyway.

Well, I scrapped 3100 lbs of jeep part's and my '66 jeep truck for $672. I now have a detroit locker in my dana 44 rear with 4.09 gears. I haven't got it back in the jeep yet, I'm really worried about how it's going to drive. I've had a lock rite before and it was ok on the street. I talked to a...

I am about 45 miles north of knoxeville tn. Will $200 for the whole tub.

I think the ford t-18 that I have is 6.39 to 1 in 1st gear. The trans was bought for 300, the adaptor was 500 and the install was another 200, the x-case was 200 so I've got about $1200 in it. I'd ask about half for it. The only reason I took it out of my jeep was cause I wanted the dana 300...

What would you give for a '76 T-18 with a novac adaptor and a dana 20 x-case in great condition. The only thing wrong is there is some free play in the shifter. You can't hardly find a 30 plus year old shift tower that doesn't have some wear. I took it out of my jeep to put in another t-18 with...
