Iron man andy's sector shaft support bearing and sleeve nut

We (I) need pictures and your opinion on install and use! I'd like to have this for mine. Also if you're running the factory front skid, if you were able to install without much issue.

they forgot the sleeve nut, so I'm kinda on hold till that shows up.

I have no idea how to post pics here anymore. all my pics are in google photos (or my phone) and not sure how to get them posted. any ideas?

Aftermarket fender flares

[4.3LXJ]

Cool Bear. Which ones?

[denverd1]

picked up waggy Dana 44s, 4.88 gears, rear disc conversion kit and a few other things. Looking forward to getting these built up and under the jeep. Current plan is to run 37s since I like to push the skinny pedal.

[4.3LXJ]

Nice find Denver. Even geared right for 37s

gotta put 'em in, but got a pretty good deal on all of it

[4.3LXJ]

Even so, still a cool deal. Gonna put them in yourself? I have a set of setup bearings picked out on amazon for myself

I am. Not gonna be running down the interstate in the rig. Is it bad that I don't what a setup bearing is or what it's for yet?? :crazy: :D

[denverd1]

I understand setup bearings now!

[4.3LXJ]

Good. Makes it much easier to set up a diff. Should be able to do it in an hour or less. The pinion is easier. There is a shim that goes under the large race on the pinion bearing. The pinion is marked with which one you should use. Another 20 minutes to shim the other pinion bearing and that should be done. The set up bearings are for the carrier, which is the hardest part

just started researching this, but it's starting to make sense. recommend a spanner?

[4.3LXJ]

No recommendations. Never used one. But I may start

[denverd1]

sounds like there's a fair amount BFH work if you don't spread it a little

[4.3LXJ]

Not too bad really. I rubber or dead blow mallet works to install and long pry bar to remove. However if you use a full locker ..........

[4.3LXJ]

I just looked at the price of those things. If I need one, I will make one. Not all that much there to warrant the prices I just saw

[denverd1]

thinking detroit in the front. how does that complicate things, just not as easy prying it out? prolly make a spanner as well

[4.3LXJ]

Yeah, you can't find a place on a detroit to pry with

[carloxj]

I just ordered radiator hoses and transmission filter from a local autoparts store.

[denverd1]

could you lay a tow strap in the pumpkin then use it either pull the case or pull the strap out on your last fitting?

Ordered: I'm missing a bolt from gas tank exhaust shield. any idea how to find fasteners for our XJs?

bought the wrong exhaust hanger isolator from Rock auto, then picked up the correct one from dodo zone. Now I've got a nice rubber paper weight

[4.3LXJ]

I go to a local fastener store. All they do unless it is something I can buy in bulk at Tractor Supply. I have to go across town, but worth the trip. It is run by a family of crazy ladies. Always lots of laughs there and worth the trip for that alone. But they have everything. Probably about 10K sq ft in inventory. And they have frame bolts, like came from the factory. Hardened in an oil bath and made to take a little side stress without breaking like a grade 8 will. As far as using a strap to pull it out, I don't think that is practical

[denverd1]

picking up 4 37x13.5x17 later today! Toyo MTs

[4.3LXJ]

Good choice. They are supposed to be quiet and very good on rocks

[denverd1]

tires are in awesome shape! 3 are 75% tread, 1 is around 50%. Rolled them up to the jeep. Going to look great!!

[denverd1]

holy shit, i think i figured out how to get pics on here

[4.3LXJ]

Looks just right Denver. Helps you trim out a little rock rash too :D

[denverd1]

yessir it does!! looking forward to cut off wheel action!

[denverd1]

can't find a ******* grommet for lower radiator. think I'm gonna use piece of fuel line and garden hose to make my own insulator.

[finneys98xj]

Summit has them I just bought 3 for my mj and xj. Parr number 34201493

[denverd1]

Summit has them I just bought 3 for my mj and xj. Parr number 34201493

wow. Auto Zone's got nothing, didn't think to check summit. Almost paid $17 each from Mopar and would've taken 10 days to get here.

Used a piece of fuel line to cover the studs. If for some reason, this doesn't work (radiator is riding directly on the lower core support, but I don't think it will cause an issue) I'll pull it back apart and get those installed. Thanks Finney!

[oderdene]

ordered some spare parts and they arrived today.

3/16" steel steering box spacer from dirtdogs off road. They were running an eBay special and I think it came to $24.

I've seen quite a few folks mention Dirtdogs lately... never heard of them at all.. and then all of sudden they've popped up all over the place... from reviews I've seen online, they seem to have pretty good customer service and great products... Was just checking out their site... doesn't look too bad at all...

I had been looking for a set like this for sale locally when I went to install the rims on my XJ...But instead the closest I could find was the black lock types... I don't mind the look of them, just wish I could find a pack with just 1 set, as I only need two more to be able to install on my spare... But for now, I'll just run the stock acorns on there... figure if you're going to put enough effort into fighting with the license plate mount and everything to get the spare off... to only get the spare rim/tire, since you can't get the remaining four locked rims... then you needed it far more that I did anyways... Not to mention you have to have a deep well/skinny socket that will fit the stock lugs to get it off too..

Matthew Dyer, I think the guy who runs ddo, is the mod/creator of one of the xj facebook groups I'm in. He seems like a cool dude so I figured I'd give him a shot.

good on ya, seems like a good guy/shop. making some unique XJ parts for sure.

[denverd1]

sent about 50 watts to an 18W LED light. didn't like it AT ALL. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IZ9VAOI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Gonna send them back to Amazon unless you fellers know of a "fuse" of sorts inside the housing. on crunch time to get ready for weekend ride so the oldies went back on. can't stand the yellow halogen light but its better than nada!

[4.3LXJ]

I have found out the hard way that a good LED needs some type of ballast, external or internal. Also almost all H4 LEDs are crap. They need to have very small chips and in the exact position of an H4 filament. Check out Phillips. Saw a lengthy test and review on Youtube on this

[denverd1]

shocks for the tow rig

[denverd1]

bought a 22 gal compressor locally
ordered a plasma cutter

[bluedragon436]

All of my purchases of late have been for the car, and not the XJ unfortunately... I mean it's nice to have it setup for more play and fun too.. But I still want to show the old girl some love from time to time.. Can't wait to be able to afford more stuff... or heck... can't wait to find a place with a garage, so that I can work on her with what parts I have already... Can't wait until I'm able to make that purchase for my XJ..

[denverd1]

power washer - now maybe it will get a bath every now and then. probably not....
