I got the wrong ones myself. The axle shafts I had were out of an Non-ABS cherokee and the only U-Joints I got to fit were the ABS U-joints...Fine with me, there bigger so less chance of breakage. This was on a 97 using 98 shafts though.

And for the jeep, let it sit because its pissing me off more and more.

I run that same setup; it works beautifully and is very strong.

My O2 sensor was hanging loose next to my cat, broken off.

I had a shop replace both sensors, install a new cat, drop the muffler hanger I couldn't budge & install the hitch I've been unable to because of the muffler hanger.

Good thing I did, they also had to bend my exhaust tip b/c it's straight & was in the way of installing the hitch. I would have spent hours trying only to go to a shop in the end, anyway.

My new leaves are going on tomorrow! Staying stock size, but heavy duty for hauling stuff.

Nothing today, but replacing a motor mount in the morning. Passenger side - let's just hope the bolts break loose easier than the driver's mount - Oi God - the crud and rust holding those bolts in after 16 years was almost unbreachable.
