Yeah, I’m really just confused at this point. I know there used to be a Mopar Catback and it was only for 93-95 4.0L Wrangler, so there must truly be some not so well documented differences between 1992 and earlier (maybe smaller muffler entry to slip into the back of the cat) vs 93+, and there...

So, the Walker 1992 cat came in, and lol….this ain’t gonna work. They flare it out. It’s the same diameter as the muffler. WTF - why? I don’t understand how any of these parts work for anyone. I compared it to my now-removed Magnaflow, and of course, that connection doesn’t work at all - they...

Didn’t realize you’re overseas - that makes more sense now. I don’t think you have a D60, I think you have the factory export D44. But it could be a D60, I just don’t know how they got it to be such a clean install. It looks factory. Definitely an interesting jeep you’ve got there.

It's possible. I used to have a TJ D44 in my YJ and I installed both SKF and Timken in it. Neither of them seemed to give me any install trouble, although the SKF didn't seem to need a ton of press pressure to install, which made me a bit nervous. Hate to say it but I would probably just buy a...

I'm going to go about this a different way. I'm going to swap to the 1992 and earlier setup, with the 4-bolt cat. I have done this in the past, but it didn't work out due to the Crown pipe and the bent cat support I got from eBay. There is a guy here making reproduction brackets, and I found a...

Here's something interesting. I stumbled upon this photo on another forum of a guy who replaced his exhaust and posted some photos. Notice this little nub on the factory downpipe. I still have the factory downpipe, and mine has the same piece on it. I believe this is an anti-rotation feature for...

That actually kind of looks like the incredibly rare factory export Dana 44. I’ve only seen one before and I don’t remember if the brackets look like that, but the track bar mount and everything else looks too clean and perfect to be a welded up backyard mechanic job… What’s your VIN? I’ll see...

Well, I’m not exactly thrilled with it but I got it installed and to where it doesn’t touch anything, and with the tip almost straight. Had to tilt the muffler towards the right side so that it pushed the tailpipe more into the grooved spot on the frame (where the pipe has clearance), and then...

I don’t know why, but my YJ specifically has always been a pain when it comes to aftermarket stuff fitting properly. There is ALWAYS some snag. In this case, I am talking about the exhaust. The history of my exhaust is as follows: July 2013 - Bought the YJ, with all factory original exhaust...

Having to push down is normal, there is a spring inside the slave cylinder which is what maintains constant pressure on the throwout bearing so that it rides the pressure plate consistently and the bearing face doesn't skip on the pressure plate fingers. A lot of people think the bearing pulls...

That is a frustrating issue. I haven't used Dorman or Duralast but I have used the PowerTorque one that Oreilly sells and I had to replace them about once a year under warranty. On the third one the pedal got stuck at the floor. I bought a "Mopar" (not sure if it was really Mopar and installed...

Can you post more photos of the axle as a whole? And some photos of the spring and shock mounts? It’s definitely not a Dana 35, could be a D44 or D60.

So, the crown plate is designed slightly differently, with the welded mount being longer (so it goes across more of the plate), making it difficult to eyeball a measurement. So it could just be me moving my head in a way that makes me want to see a smaller measurement, but I seem to be getting...

Thanks for this! I’m going to compare in a bit and see. Definitely possible the Crowns are off. Based on appearance, the sway bar links don’t seem off by enough to cause this issue. At least not by themselves. I feel like it has to be the spring plates, which is why I started by buying used OEM...

Unfortunately not, they will hit the tie rod in that orientation. I would like to get some disconnects, but I haven't found many in stock length. I want to get some JKS quicker disconnects eventually, but not going to deal with it at the moment.

My thread is going to be pretty boring at this point, not that it was ever that exciting. I mostly wrote up a punchlist that I am working through for all the little issues. KO3s are ordered. I went with the 215s, mostly to keep it stock and to save some weight and harshness. The 215s are...

the transmission is out of a TJ based on its shifter. How specific of a year do you need to know? I don't think they changed at all from 1997-1999.

Someone swapped your rear axle from one that was originally installed in a 1987-1989 YJ. I wonder if the new bearing is improper tolerance or something? Did you have trouble getting the nuts threaded on? As in, did the studs stick out far enough through the retainer plate to be easy to thread on?

Never mind, it’s a TJ transmission because of the shifter. YJ has the straight shifter base, TJ uses the curved base. So it’s a 97-99. I don’t think anything changed in that year range, so you’re probably good to buy something for that time frame.

Did they list it for a TJ or a YJ? I can tell it's not out of an XJ. Any pics of the transfer case behind it? I'm assuming you got them together as a pair.
