Did a little "un-pimp ze auto" tonight. Picked up a stock airbox at the jyard this weekend...it practically jumped out of the donor (complete box was sitting there on top of the radiator... hose clamps and all :) ). Removed the "cold" air intake. I wish someone could explain to me how the air on top of the engine is colder.:laughing:

Looks like someone's aftermarket motor mounts? I think the bushing may be shot.

Think I could sell this dinky intake to some Jeep dummy for 100 bucks?:eek:

I saw that...it may be worth it for the shafts. I'll see if it hangs long enough for a price drop.

Those kinda look like MORE mounts.

And somebody actually spent $120 on something that could be accomplished with a $15 cone filter and a hacksaw? Nice.

Trust me, you don't need bushings. :)

Finished pulling the front axle yesterday to do the gear swap. Found the heim joints on both lower control arms are pretty worn out. They are a 3/4" x 3/4" heim with a bushing to reduce the hole to 5/16" (I think it's actually metric...close enough ;) ) The 3/4" heim seems a bit small for something like a control arm...yall think I should just pick up another 3/4" heim and run it or should I look into something like a bushing - http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/...ot_p_1646.html. I also found a guy that has a pair of RE lower control arms for 100 bucks...seems like not a bad deal. Thoughts?

I'm pretty sure that a lot of people build lowers with 3/4" heims. That's what mine are and I'm guessing something else will fail before they do.

replace them with 3/4 x 5/8 heims and you can get rid of the reducer. They're way stronger than 3/4 x 3/4 too. Or get the RE arms

i have a 9 inch housing sitting in my shop back home if you want it. $50 and i can give you the housing and brakes and what not. it needs new gears and stuff. it came out of my bronco

Allright, gonna pick up another set of heims. I remembered a few years ago heims seemed to be the standard for aftermarket links, but looking around now most everyone uses either a bushing at both ends or a bushing and a johnny joint.

The flange bolts to the shaft with a washer on the ID that is only held in with a snap ring, so it doesn't help any with keeping the flange straight. Think if I welded the washer to the flange it would hold the flange tight enough to slow any further wear? Or would the wiggle be enough to cause the bolt to back out?

found this, might help you out. . . http://lsjc.org/board/showthread.php?t=37677
