What axle did your buddy have? I think the D35's have a longer shaft than the C8.25 / D44 if I'm not mistaken...

Just finished the IRO trackbar, big difference. I did a wheel alignment after the lift and with the stock track bar, the steering wheel was almost dead center. My axle was so far off that after centering it this is where the steering wheel ended up. Wish I had done this mod sooner

I think I am now sold on Dick Cepek Mud Country's! They seem to be tougher and handle better on-road. Plus the tread does look badazz!

Do yourself a favor and order some of these...

Shift fork pad kit. Its a PITA to open the case and find bits of plastic at the bottom (broken pads) then wait almost a week to get them.

Cheapest and almost ONLY place to get them is Quadratec.com

Default Seat Cover Issues

Does anyone have the patterns for making custom, homemade seat covers? None of the ones you can buy in stores ever fit correctly, so I'm looking to make my own. Both the front seats and the bench back seat patterns would be great.

Not sure where to post this. Thanks!

I love mine, you will too. I put 7 oz of .25 gram airsoft bb's ($15 for 5000 at wally world) in each tire to balance a 32". Works great and keeps weights off my wheels.

hey guys. I really dont mean to post this in the wrong thread, and i do understand how forum rules work, but i have a serious problem. I need to replace my clutch master cylinder immediately because this is my daily driver, im going to auto school and paying out of pocket, so cant miss time. Thus, i need my truck to be able to drive.

I have another thread on this under cherokee chat. titled "Replacing Clutch master"

I'm requesting some help because I have never done anything on a manual vehicle, and would appreciate some input.

Thanks guys

replaced the champion plugs with at least 35k on them with new NGK plugs, it fixed my rough idle and the old plugs had worn to at least .055 gap each.
