    33-1250-R15 BFG M/T (old style)

    Mounted on white rim, 6 lug Chevy/Toyota Bolt Pattern. Pretty good tread (probably 40%, didn't measure though), but tire is a few years old. Perfect for a spare (that's what I had it for). May pass safety if you're putting together a set for your rig. TEXT to 850-499-5315 if you want it...

    portal axles

    My engineering senior design team is going to design a portal axle; we are trying to design it such that it would be easier for the average guy to buy and put on, and maybe such that freeway speeds could be achieved. Ideally, make it a bolt on application; for those of you that have thought...

    Salt Lake/NSL trails/watershed area

    I was hiking around in the area above the quarry in NSL area and saw roads and trails all over the place, particuarly towards the Salt Lake side. It looks like all the access I could see was blocked, and even if it weren't, it looks like its all restricted. Does anyone know if there is access...

    axle strength

    Starting this thread to get an idea of axle strengths, both the housing and the internal shafts, as part of the overall package. For example, a Dana 60 is overall stronger than a Dana 44, is stronger than a Dana 30, etc. But, what about Toyota stock axles? The 14 bolt? The Ford 9"? and so...

    Has anyone dealt with these? Particuarly from a 89 FJ62? I'm having problems getting it back together. It seems like the large tapered bearing on the driveshaft gears is binding. Anyone know how to put these together?

    tire mounting

    Does anyone have a tire mounter? I'd pay you to do it, if it were cheaper than the tire store. I don't feel like using pry bars but I would rather not spend 80-100 bucks just to switch tires over.

    big tires on stock wheels

    I picked up a 2 swampers at the wrecking yard today for cheap. I already had two 33-12.50's for the cherokee, and I've been looking for two to complete the set. These are way more aggressive than the sport kings I'm putting up front, but for 25 a piece, I couldn't pass it up. I know it's kind...

    Fuel filter?

    Went up wheeling today and my xj went crazy and acted like it was running out of gas. Totally lacked any power. It's been having problems getting started for the last week or so (ever since I got it really) and I know the fuel pump cycles (I can hear it). It also idles really low. I'm...

    extreme death wobble

    I just finished putting on my lift on my xj and finally got the cooling problems fixed. I got it safe/emission checked, and was on my way to farmington to get registered and when I got on the freeway and accelerated to about 50mph I got a HUGE death wobble that kept up with the same intensity...

    Toyota axle to jeep cherokee

    I've been thinking about upgrading the axles in my jeep (over the long term) and know a lot of people will swap in a d44 for the rear and build up the 30 or put a 44 in front. But, what about swapping in toyota axles? or gm 12 bolt in the rear? I know it's been done with a ford 8.8, so why...

    jeep xj brake lines

    I got a lift for my '90 xj and was trying to put on the new rear brake hose (the flexible part that goes from the frame to the axle.) But, my hard lines on the axle were frozen on and I ended up breaking the fittings off the lines. I tried checker, but they didn't have what I needed. Any...

    xj 4wd issues

    I've been having problems with my 4wd engaging; I did some troubleshooting, and here's what I've found: 1. First, the vacuum lines were disconnected. I checked them for vacuum, which they have, and I put them back, but they're really easy coming off. I though of using RTV on it, but I'd...

    Is this anyone here?

    Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I was wondering if anyone on the forum owned the orange Toyota that is always parked on 500 South in Bountiful. No particular reason, it just looks cool and was wondering about it.

    Jeep Cherokee lift questions

    Hi, this is my first post on this forum. I've been searching through them for awhile, though. Anyway, I have some questions concerning lifting a Jeep Cherokee. 1) will 6 inches of lift require slip yoke eliminator, brake line extensions, etc.? 2)will stock shocks even be feasible to use with...
