    8.8" mini spool...c-clips won't go in....

    yeah thanks, I just had to get them to slide through the slots of the mini spool, they just weren't big enough. Anyway, didn't have to take too much off it worked really nicely actually. I realize the c-clip isn't under much stress, BUT it's still a part you don't want to have fail. -Nate

    8.8" mini spool...c-clips won't go in....

    Ok so I'm putting the mini spool in my 8.8 with disks. The axles won't push in far enough to get the c-clips in. I called randy's r&p and they told me to grind the c-clip sides down a little in order to get though the slot for the mini spool. It'd be about 1/8" on each side of the c-clip to...

    new rear axle

    you beef up the 44 you should be fine. Problem is, with warn shafts and CTM joints you make your knuckle the weak link...that's kinda cool while at the same time a MAJOR pain in the ass to change on the trail. Also, 60's are just cool, if you want i maybe be able to dig up a number of a guy...

    Carrier Swap on 8.8

    Ok I have the Trash lock carrier in my 8.8, and I got a free open carrier, I was gonna run a minispool or weld the carrier and from what I've heard the Limited Slip carrier is weaker than the open. Here's the question... In the 35c I used to have you could just swap carriers and crap and...

    takin off the doors!

    With the doors ON it won't open and close with any flex. I put them on for rubicon and stuff mainly because with no doors if I roll, I die. The doors don't support the Unibody much during flexing and such, but they offer a lot of support when it's on the roof. I really only take them off on...

    Who's welded the 8.8?

    It's c-cliped so can't spool it! They make a mini spool but that's for an open carrier, I have a track lock! DAMMIT! Anyone have a stock open carrier and spider gears for cheap? -Nate

    takin off the doors!

    I took the doors off my grand cherokee. If photopoint's working you can take a look. It's probably similar to the explorer, but there were two plugs inside the car, I unpluged them and then pulled them out of a hole in the unibody (damn unibody) The law (at least in california) is that you...

    Locker Choice for 8.8 w/ls

    How bout spools. Would I have to go full floater to spool an 8.8? DAMN C-clips! My detroit in my 35c is quiet at hell. I wanted to scare people and all I got was the ability to pop wheelies around turns! It kicks ass off road though. Thanks, I don't care what they say about you guys...

    Locker Choice for 8.8 w/ls

    I'm throwing an 8.8 in my ZJ later this week. Right now I'm working on all the welding and such. Well, right now it's got a track-lock or whatever the stock LSD is. I'm definetly going to put a locker in it. I'm wondering what you guys are running? I want to go with a lunchbox locker like...

    Mods to 91 explorer, I'm not from around here!!!!

    yeah, actually that's how I found out about this board, I was looking at flex shots, found that one and went to the page, that flex is off the wall! MY friend is gonna do a spring over on his CJ soon I'll help him and see if I can do it! This guy though has the money for real lifts (not that...

    All right, it's just got all the mods in the sig, you want muddy or some flex? Don't want to give you a hard time cause I'm a visitor here, but your IFS is killing your articulation, but the rear flexes great! They look great though, but I never see any lifted explorers around here. Here are...

    Mods to 91 explorer, I'm not from around here!!!!

    ok, I have a lifted Grand Cherokee, I did all the work to it myself, and my friend who drives a 91 explorer really likes the way my jeep turned out and wants my to lift his explorer, it's got a 6 and an auto, I think he want to run like 33+" tires, how much lift does he need, he's willing to cut...
