I found out tonight I have a leaking trans line and I'm definitely not stoked on it but on the plus side I discovered my buddy Alex's xj issue that was causing the growling when you drove it.
I thought it was the backlash on the rearend but...
The 4 bolts in the u joint at the t-case were lose it fried that u joint and the whole driveshaft wasn't lubed so it was toast. He replaced the whole driveshaft and things perfect now. I'm most definitely envious of him.
Now he needs my 8.25 in it and 35's and that'll be the whip...

dude come on you have to keep your shaft properly lubed!!!
so i have heard that the 8.25 isnt the greatest rear end? that its weak and the housings bends easily? is that true or not? cuz i have the 8.25 in mine
what color is it going to be next? it took like 6 cans when we did it green to cover up over that black

You are correct. It's better then a d35 but ain't quite a d44. It'll last with 35's if you aren't being a idiot bouncing around And whatnot. I need to get the r6 title in my name because when I do ill be locked front and rear with a d44 out back and 4.56's front n rear..
