Gen 5 is slightly different from gen 4. You'll run into subtle differences. Especially in the front half of the frames. It's close to the same but you're going to need to do some modifications. In order to make them fit. I ran into this on some Icon brand parts i put on a few weeks back. So...

Go get yourself one of those red hose reels, and you can use them for every single hose, and cord you have in the garage. The ones that harbor freight sells are inexpensive, and work for the weekend warrior. Some guys spend the money on one of the more expensive ones like A Reelcraft brand. I...

That ramp reminds me of the ramp plaza cycle has.

Ok

You mean the Yukon Grizzly locker. But it's not "only a couple hundred more" for most people. Not when you factor in setting the gears up again. And the cost associated with that too. So if a person is intimidated by replacing a carrier, or unable to do so. So for he average person, if the...

I'm not sure which way you mean this. Do you mean that the negative impressions are because of coal-rollers making truck/4wd owners look bad? Or do you mean that the physicians group and their meddling in someone else's affairs is making the off road community look bad? I think arguments...

In theory, ethanol has a much higher boiling point than gasoline. So again in theory, it's possible the effects of one portion being boiled/vaporized. While another portion remains unboiled might cause all sorts of gremlins because the fuel is separating. But, these would only be a problem...

I forgot to mention the pickup tube was a little bigger (like 7/16") than the fuel pump's end (which was Like 5/16"), so i had to get crafty to connect the two together. As i recall i split the difference, and used 3/8" hose. I then heated the hose, and massaged it to fit onto the bigger steel...

The cost is the cost of whatever pump/ strainer you use. Plus $10-ish, some 3/8" hose, clamps, wire etc. I took the original sending unit, cut the pickup tube shorter to fit the in- tank pump. Clamped a 1" or so piece of rubber line to connect the pump to the pickup tube. I then tacked a...

It's not difficult to retrofit a pump to inside a tank that didn't already have one. I literally did it for a customer with an '83 CJ7 this month even.

I've seen this so many times. . .so many times. Usually customers who retrofit EFI to older vehicles. And don't have an in-tank pump Electric pumps aren't suited to "suck". They are suited to "push. They still can "suck" to some extent. And siphoning effect helps too. The pump will wear to...

The 8.8 is a good option, on par with dana44 strength, correct width, correct bolt pattern, if you get the right one it'll have disc brakes and a limited slip. . .not bad for a junkyard axle. And the Yukon chromoly axle shaft/ c-clip eliminator kit is under $400

If you wanted a bracket kit to use, I used the Artec kit to put an 8.8 under a TJ just a few weeks ago. It's not for the faint of heart when it comes to welding. But it does remove all of the guesswork. It even allows you to retain the stock sway bar, and everything.

Haha, at least yours is being kept in a warm bed in the meantime. ;)

I do love this rig. . .
