hopefully autozone is open on easter, I need gear lube and permatex. we'll see.

I wish your junkyard was near me....My local junkyard wants crazy money for everything, they would probably want +/- $200 for all that stuff.

My AZ will be open tomorrow, yours should be, too...hopefully.
Good luck, have fun...Take pictures!

thanks Jeeper- good luck to you with your leaf springs too. I manage the salvage yard where I got the parts so that factored into the low pricing. The parts were pretty rusty so that is all I was willing to give.

I will snap some pics. I gotta get to bed if I expect anything to get done.

enjoyed watching it rain and not getting wet on the inside. I know not really something I did with it but hey. When my bottom hinge ripped it went quick and I had to wait for the weekend to fix it.

Ordered the upper and lower X-Flex control arms from Rough Country, for my XJ. Also ordered a set of 1.5 inch wheel spacers for the rears to match the fronts I already have. Once all of that is installed, all that is left is to get my 33x12.50x15 mudders put on.

Man, that bumper looks stock... How'd you install the tire carrier? Did you just reinforce the passenger side corner?

Like the color too...

Bought a tandem axle 6x12 utility trailer yesterday... Now I need a hitch... and wiring... and trailer brakes. Oh, and I hope my old leaf springs will support the tongue weight.

Talk about the cart before the horse, huh?

okay so i took it out today since i got it fixed up (brake hose, lower rad hose, and bypass leaking vacum thingy that engage the heat) i go thru the water in 4x4 and then went over a little hill then i was going and it was hard to go then i relized that my front axle would not engage OH NO!!!. so as my friend were leaving in her truck she saw my friend he was with his two buddy so they came to the rescue but the f150 (2wd) got half way thru the water and got stuck the outher cherokee had bald street tires so he did not try it and then here comes my dumb buddy with a 96 xj 3 lift cut fender with 35 but the catch is his motor is about blown up and his rear driveshaft is not there because it broke and non the less got stuck. so i had the guy in the black xj to take me home to get my mazda which is my dd and it first got the ford out then my 87 xj then the 96 xj and then my dad in a stock 92 went thru and did not get stuck ahahah

okay so now with the question how do i fix the front axle i know it has to do with the auto lock out fork but i did not know were to put it to engage the axle full time someone help the driveshaft spins but the lock outs do engage

p.s. the only thing broke as far as i can tel is the lf lower control arm bolt is bent about to break. and the front axle

Pulled the seat mounts out of the 87 junker to transplant them into the 91. Now I can have the rocker mounts instead of the fixed sliders.

Worked on a little rust on the back lift gate.

Also I just looked at the jeep...Anyone else have that problem?
