Destroyed Stock Rear rapezza Shaft.....

So, I destroyed my factory rapezza shaft. Just so happens I have another one in my garage that came with the B2 when I bought it. It appears to have the same issue as the one I just destroyed but the other end (t-case end) seems fine. I'd like to just replace the bad joint with the good one from the...

Re: 33" tires???

Lucky for me, I decided to run a set of 31" with the stock set up and am currently aquiring a D30 for the front (going to sas with leaf) and a 8.5 rear with a 302 and C4.I don't plan on running over a 33" tire with that setup. Thanks for the "2 cents"!

Explorer springs vs. XJ springs

I have read that putting explorer front springs will give you a little lift as well as Cherokee springs. Question is which would be best? I have a set of 32" tires and a winch/bumper combo. Which springs will give me the most lift? How will my articulation be compared to F150 springs? This is s...

Re: Front Driveshaft Dilemma...

I suppose anything is possible. The guy I bought it from couldn't tell me anything about the swap cause' he paid his buddy to do it. He didn't even know why there was a jumper wire to start it! (Nuetral safety switch bypass) I am on my way home now to take pics of everything I have been talking abou...

Re: Front Driveshaft Dilemma...

Someone changed it from an automatic transmission to a manual transmission. This I know. The tranny they chose for the swap is the bottom one in the top picture. Which transmission is that? Will have pics TONIGHT!!! That will help explain a lot ;) Thanks for all your help

Re: 33" tires???

So the 7.5 rear didnt' hold? I'm also thing about welding the rear... Would this effect its strength? Did you wheel with that set up? Thanks

33" tires???

89' BII. 2.9L w/ factory D28 and 7.5 front and rear ends w/3,73's. How much would I be pushing it with 33" tires? Is the motor gonna be able to churn those tires in 4 low off-road? Eventually I'd like to swap to an 8.8 and D35 from an explorer but for now I have these tires laying around and wo...

Re: Front Driveshaft Dilemma...

So does that mean that the std. tranny came from a different yr? All I know is the tranny mount sits about 3-4" forward of the original mounting place on the xmember.... Must be slightly lower too. Will take pics when I get home tomorrow night. Thanks again!

Re: Front Driveshaft Dilemma...

Looks like the correct shaft. Same as I have.... Heres a question-It looks as though the tranny mount is off of your xmember. The guy that did the auto to man swap in mine apparently didnt take into consideration different lengths... My tranny mount does not mate up with the factory xmember so he ju...

Re: Front Driveshaft Dilemma...

I figured that it would! My concern is articulation as theres not much room between crossmember and exhaust. Are mods needed when lifting to crossmember? Hate to have everything bind up on me..... Will post pics asap. In the meantime, does anyone have pics of the front shafts? Maybe a pic of each th...

Front Driveshaft Dilemma...

1988 BII. Previous owner converted from auto to a stick which I believe is the mitsubishi out of another BII. The front shaft that came with it does not seem to fit. I tried to install it and the radius arm cross member seemed to bee in the way. Shaft seems like it would work if that crossmember was...
