I have a '78 cj7 with a 15 year old rancho 2.5" lift and 33" tires. It has a scout 44 rear and dana 30 front. I have the scout front but havent got to install it yet. I just bought a set of outlaw ll rims and 35" pro comp mt's. Should I swap the 2.5" lift for a 4", or keep the 2.5" and add a 2"...

I got this front end Im wanting to use, I have to rotate the outer "C"s to get a better pinion angle and 4-6 degrees of caster. The question is if I do this should I use dana 30 steering knuckles and if so what is done about the axles? Do you use the scout inner and the jeep/30 outer? Or will...

I have a 1976 ford T-18 4 speed bulldog with the novac adaptor and a dana 20 transfer case for $700. And a T-150 3 speed and dana transfer case for $300.

How wide are tj flares?

I had new gears installed along with a detroit locker last year. Before I took the housing to the r+p man I cleaned it inside and out, along with cleaning the axle shafts. I bent a flange and ordered another axle. Before installing it I was cleaning around the inner seal and found a buch of...

What year did rubicon first come out? Do they all have the 4-1 transfer case? Other than front and rear lockers and the xtra low x-case, what else does the rubicon have that a regular wrangler doesnt?

I will have to get a new top in the next couple years and would like to get another best top supertop. Only thing is is my jeep is a '78 and they only sell the tinted ones for a 1980 and up. I know its because of the door latch, my question is that the only difference between the two year models?

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 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 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...

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...

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...

Are these a copy of a lock rite or what? I had never heard of them until reading a few on this website. They are definately cheaper than any other locker I've seen. How well do they hold up? The first few times I read about them on here I thought you guy's were refering to the arb air locker. It...

I got a CJ-7 with a set of scout axles. The front hasn't been installed yet. I'm going to try and do it this summer. My ? is does anybody make a drag link to fit my application? It need's to be longer than a CJ's and it will use a CJ tie rod end on one end and a scout tie rod end on the other end.

I'm thinking about putting a lockrite locker in an amc model 20 I'm building for my cj. My ? is should I use the thrust block with one piece axle's or is it only used with the two piece axle's?

To the best of my knowledge I have never had a wide track axle. I have a model 20 rear end that has a crack in the center section where a ring gear bolt came loose and it also has worn out spring perches. I have a few more housings and was thinking about taking all of the gear's and axle's out...

I have always had model 20's with the 11x2 brake drum. I got an old cj-5 last year just for the axles and was about to put them on my jeep when I saw that they had the smaller brake drum's. Should I (or could I ) pull the axles out and swap the smaller backing plate for the bigger one and use...

I have a 1978 CJ-7 with a Best top Super top that has served it's purpose for many years. I have been looking for a while for a used top and finally found one. It's a Best top Sunrider with some of the hardware. It will be a few days before I get home to check everything out but what I was...

I've owned Jeep's since '94, but they've always been CJ's or Wrangler's. I'm looking at a mid-nineties Grand Cherokee, I know it's got an inline six but I don't know about the transmission or the x-case. Were they all pretty much like the wrangler x-cases or did they have crazy thing's like auto...
