I havnt forgotten about the cage.. fab guy was backed up. goes down this weekend. all i need to do to get it ready is get the pass side seat belt anchor bolt out. tried everything.. not the head is stripped.. stupid torx bits

I think a poly bushing will do the job.. ill have to see about finding/making one Thanks!

i might get another set of cups and re drill them.. for now though i dont seem to have any issues. thanks for the reply!

I cant keep a rod end on the frame side of the trac bar to save my life.. I literally ran a ruffstuff rod end 2 months (3 times out) and already knocking. Would a poly bushing be better on that side? I think it might be. problem is I cannot find a 1.75" poly bushing with a threaded rod end...

I didn't adjust the rod or replace master cylinders when I did the rear disc axle swap and never really had an issue until I went with 35s.. now I get a little creep on a steep hill if im not fully depressing the pedal. May swap in a 95+ master cylinder if/when I do the 5.0 swap.

For any wv members be sure to look up jeepinwv.com, spread out through much of the state and non jeep off road vehicle friendly. There is also high country off road, mountaineer off road, and tri state crawlers to name a few.

haha thats awesome

Are there any other pics of the work you did on the tank? Or if you wanted to pm to explain it a little more in detail that would be great! I see you're a wizard when it comes to harnesses.. wink wink lol

I'm glad I found your thread.. along with Jamie's and a few others I should have a lot of info if I can convince myself to do this swap on my 93. Luckily I have an entire 97 5.0 Explorer that I have owned since 60K miles. Couple questions I had though.. do I have to retain the emissions from...

i dont have the patience and he does great work.. and im only paying half of what it would cost anyone else. February is only a few weeks away.. winter wheeling in West Virginia..

took the ol girl on her last ride for a couple months.. drove over 400 miles in 2 days, wheeled for 7 hours on blue and black trails in freezing temperatures, averaged 12.5mpg on the interstate, made it home without any issues.. now im reading 410Fortune's 5.0L swap thread. geesh.. i'm never...

its almost christmas and im sure someones wife needs some ideas.. I have actually got a lot of use out of this.. http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2006/09/FUBAR%201.jpg

if by some chance i fall into an extra 3K dollars my 2nd gen is getting the Raptor swap.. just cause people would be like wtf is that

front and rear bumpers sold.. err.. well traded for tires for the Rainja

after this weekend the best $8 ive ever spent was a trim retainer removal tool.. lets keep em comin..

that side plastic will not be fun to put back in and pull back out with a cage in there. ok, so i lied, its getting caged. on a side note.. i found an ant colony under the rear carpet.

i promised myself i would wait till an act of God happened before I chop the top. and so far no trees have mysteriously fallen on the rear of the roof.

i bought an impact driver from the snap-on dude.. lets see how many torx bits i break.

I wish.. that would be awesome. Anyone have any tricks to getting the seat belt receivers out? That torx bolt is in there good and tight.

Good thinking with the first aid kit.. I upgraded mine this fall after seeing a friend put a woman's hand in a splint after an almost scary roll at big dogs.

gas.. i like that one. lets narrow it down to 1 item you think is invaluable to you out on the trail

I had an aussie in my 8.8 and I wasnt a big fan.. sure the traction was there but at the time of having it I still daily drove my truck and never could get use to the on road manners. I swapped in a LS disc brake rear, havnt had any issues. with that being said.. now that the truck is 80%...

ok.. its the holiday season and i like buying myself stuff for the truck. so i thought it would a good idea if we had a post of 'affordable' gear, tools, accessories, or any item that an offroader shouldnt be without.. at a price of $100 or less so lets see em..

take a glance at the 'solid axle swap registry' subforum

oh man.. i cant give it away yet, prep work starts in the next couple weeks then the real fun starts after a couple new years day rides. i will say im getting rid of my rear swingout bumper, so someone needs to buy it and my front that i still have.

hmm.. fortunately I have never had any electrical issues with my 4wd. sorry I couldnt help more

if you hit the switch to turn it back on do the lights come on? cycle the switch from 4hi, to 4lo (while in neutral), and back to 2hi. then drive straight back for approximately 20 feet. if you still have this issue you will need to get under the truck, unbolt the shift motor from the...

I had a similar issue with my AWD Explorer, it was torque converter shudder.. only happened when getting on the throttle or letting off the throttle when the vehicle was at a cruising speed and the lock up was engaging/disengaging. sshh dont tell anyone but i threw an additive in there and it...

There was a point while owning this truck that I thought about selling it instead of replacing the motor.. I'm glad I held on to it. Not only has it helped me learn how to maintain and repair my own vehicles it has brought me more friends and good times than I ever thought possible. The looks...
