No, The main reason I am interested in doing this is so that I can regear my front differential without being pressured about getting it back together so fast. This is a daily driver and very inconvenient when it is down. I only commute about 5 miles to work each day. I just want to be able...

4x4junkie and Spdrcer34, Those are the exact thoughts that I had. All I would have to do is pull the C-clip on the axle along with the spline washer and pull it out. The down side to this is that my last fail safe is gone. If I remove the C-clip and Spline washer, the onlything holding it...

The rear gears are finally in. (4.56 Yukon) Did a few test drives and everything seems to be ok. Nice and quite. or atleast until it explodes. Now for the front. Have a question about the front though. Is it possible to remove the axles, drive shaft, and differential and still be able to...

This isn't the greatest Picture but it's a start. I currently have the rear axle out for regearing. Here is the thread if you know how to check patterns :) http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=237421 Stock: New:

Here is what It is currently set at. Current settings: New Pinion Shim .044" Backlash .011" The OLD factory Pinion shim was .034" What does this tell you? The Drive side looks good to me so far. The Coast side on the other hand looks horrible. I can't find any figures in the manual...

Well here's my update and plan. I have the 3" BL and 33" on right now. Pics will be soon to follow. This weekend I plan on doing the 2" Skyjacker coils and AAL in the rear. Then take it in and have it Aligned. Once that is all said and done. I'd like to start on the rear Diff. I recieved...

Give this a once over. http://warn.iwebcat.com/imgVD/WAR/32722A2-pn32720.pdf Hope this helps. I have a picture I can put on later if you'd like, when I get home. I just did this two weeks ago.

Update. Just got the brake pads and hardware in from Rockauto today. MAN!! they have some good prices. That and there warehouse is local, so fast shipping. I'll be doing the brakes this weekend. Might even tackel the head gaskets, but we'll see. I also ordered the Yukon gear sets from...

I'm looking to upgrade my factory gears from 3.55 to 4.56 so I can lift and run 33's. I want to use the Yukon gear sets from what I have read so far about them. Here is what information I think is correct. Has anyone ordered these parts for there first gen X? Thanks again!! Front...

Just heard back from the local college. They don't do aftermarket upgrades. So this means I will have to put together another shopping list for the front and rear differential gear upgrade to 4.56. I think I'm going to go with the Yukon gears and the Timken master rebuild kit. Then throw in...

I've been looking at those Cragers and the price sounds good to me. My question is what would be better for street/trail use. I'm looking at the 33x12.5 BFG AT for the tire. Whould a 15x8 or 15x10 wheel be better? Or does it not make that big of a difference?

Still waiting to here back from a few shops. I also have a call into the master technician at our local community college. they are acually working on drive lines this quater. On the college web site they say that there is 40% off labor if it is related to the work being performed. If that...

Just got off the phone with Randy's Ring and Pinion. They said for parts and laber, using the yukon gear set, it would cost $800. EACH!!:eek: Calling around localy to see what I can find out. $1600 bucks seems a little spendy, but what do I know. Has anyone here ever changed out there...

The good, the bad, and the ugly.:splat: **The Good**:D I got the BL today and the Skyjacker springs and AAL are coimg in tommorow. **The Bad**:( Here's the problem though. I want to throw on some 33x12.5 all around. But I just looked at my axle code (45) and it says I have 3.55 gears...

Finaly got the Warn Hubs on last night. They were supper easy to get on also. Took about an hour total for both sides. After a short test run on the dirt driveway I noticed that the usual noise that I had while in 4x4 went away. The hoise used to be a low hum and It's been there for for so...

I'm going to replace the Wheels and will have to replace the Wheel well trim with some extended fenders. I'm trying to find some wheels that are fairly cheap and black in color. I know there are some out there that have red and blue pin stripping but I can't remember the brand name. I...

This is just my luck. It just started snowing tonight and we're supposed to get 4" by morning. And you ask "when are your Warn hubs supposed to arrive?" Tommorow. But will the UPS guy be making his rounds in the snow? I hope so!! Just my Luck:rolleyes:

I've heard those things can get a little sticky. I'll PB blast them each day. Thanks for the reminder!!:thumbsup:

**Update** Should be getting the Warn hubs this monday. Just ordered the 2" skyjacker coils for the front, and ADL for the rear. Also ordered the Performance Accesories 3" bodylift kit. Came to around $380 shipping included from Amazon. Now I just sit and wait. I'll post my progress as...

Here's what I'm working with. Full Stock New radius arm bushings and original Body mounts Front suspension. Rear Susp. And yes that is the original Fire stone tire. Guess we've never had a flat yet. Better not get one now:eek: And last but not least. A side profile

Does it hurt anything to keep the hubs locked and just dissengage the 4x4? Only for a short while though.

I have more questions. But first here is a little experience that I recently had. The main reason that I have started this project is the snow that we recieved here in the puget sound area in the last two weeks. As I'm sure Spdrcer34 will atest too. While at a X-mas party in the other town...

Yep that's me. The one and only!:cool: Great Ideas on the gear to take too. keep em coming. Thanks. I'm going to post some pictures tonight on the stock SOB. One question though. Will the 2" Skyjacker lift require any other mods or should it bolt right in. Maybe an alighnment or...

I'm ready to start the build up on Grandma's grocery getter. 91 X all stock and original owner from day one. It has seen many years of good service and has brought us home warm and safe everytime. But it is now time to let her loose and have some fun doing what she was made to do. I've been...

I've done a search for this and I see that there is a problem shifting from 1st to 2nd when cold. The problem I am having when cold is NO shifting at all. When I put it in "D" or "R" it feels like it's in "N". Then it will either just grab and go, or I just leave it in park and let it warm up a...
