Random Tech Questions

Wasn't this in a YJ? Maybe the shifter arm on the case is a different length than a TJ one. Either that, or you're probably going to have to loosen that little adjuster nut on the horribly designed TJ linkage and adjust it for the new case. If that doesn't work, just order a Novak Cable shifter for it.

Why do I still know **** about jeeps?!

[Shaggy]

It is different. I had him send me his linkage. It still doesn't line up.

I started to change the diff fluid today, but I can't remember how to get the diff cover back on.

bwahaha

nice! toyota upgrade?

[Sharpe]

Dammit...is that Kunta Kinte?

[Fredo]

indeed. He came over to borrow the plasma earlier. I'll let him fill in the details.

[robertf03]

yes, it had to be done

to keep it on topic, here is some random tech on how to fix a diff cover

that new thing is .300" thick

[85cj7]

Ahh. Okay so you just beat the **** out of it. More I-hop curb hopping? I'm disappointed I wanted to see some toyota thirds.

[robertf03]

got the thirds, just don't have the things that go between them and the wheels.

thats just random trail damage, clayton this year finished it off

[85cj7]

on second inspection is that a drill stem pipe cap with the threads cut off?

[robertf03]

its a weld cap, for pressure vessels or piping or whatever needs to be capped thats 8"

It is different. I had him send me his linkage. It still doesn't line up.

I put a TJ case in my XJ, I had to swap the linkage arm on the case to mine to make it work right, the TJ linkage wanted to make it shift backwards. They have a different angle in the ovaled hole

Get your wife or someone in the jeep and have her shift the tcase shifter while disconnected from the case and watch which way it goes and then look at the case and figure out which way it needs to go and then put on the right linkage.

[Shaggy]

Tj linkage went backwards. I used the yj and it goes the right way. Just doesn't have enough throw to go all the way back

For the slow-fiddy-fo. JBA shorty headers and y-pipe into single 3" or 3.5" pipe? Flowmaster 70 series muffler with cats removed and simulators for rear O2's. Intake and possible injector upgrayedd in the future.

I can't find any of the 70 series in a 3.5". I think I can make a 3" work in my application though.

(oh, and taken you long enough to get around to this ****! )
