I have just put 35's on my CJ and changed the gears to 4:56's. I have the 258 Straight Six and have found that the highway speed is good, but it still cr crawls a little to quick. I was recomended 4:56 so that the highway speed would still be good, yet offroad it would still do well. If you...

dana 35 to dana 44 swap I have a 78 Cj-5 and am putting 35' Mt/r's and was wondering if a set of fender flares from another model jeep will fit if I trim the wheel wells. Has anyone done this before? I have a 4 suspension lift, 1 inch shackle lift, and axles from a Cj-7. The wheels are offset 3...

I will mostly use my jeep for city driving and offroading, 75% to 25%. Thanks for the suggestions.

Is anyone going to MOAB???? Well, I am getting ready to buy some 35's for my Cj5. I was wondering if anyone here can give me advice on the best tire to go with? I am a college student and will also have to do it inexpensively. Does anyone know who sells the tires the cheapest? And black...

I know that it is a little early, but my uncle is already gettin me fired up about going to Moab this easter. I was wondering if anyone here is going to go? If so, have you been before? This will be my first trip hopefully, but I have to beef up my jeep a little before I make definate plans. If...

Rear view mirrors XJ Who makes the best gears and one-piece axle kits. I just ordered a set from Randy's Ring and Pinion, and was just informed by Far RIght, that they are not vary good, thank you for the advise, hopefully they will reverse the order in the morning. But anyways, the one-piece...

I am 6'1 and have a 5, it is alright to drive, but a little snug trying to get in it. My uncle has a cj7, and it is much roomier. Another good thing about the 7's are that most year models are wider and longer than the cj5, which, if you are going to want an rock crawler, would be better. But...

Well, I just thought I would let everyone know what I decided to do. First of all, thank you all for giving me input. So I got a package deal from Randy's Ring and Pinion, Dana 30 Trutac locker AMC 20 Detriot locker Amc20 One-piece axle kit, made by Yukon 4.56 gears by Yukon, overhaul kit and...

SOA conversion questions? How is the OX's durability, I have heard that the ones that can be UN-LOCKED, have problems witht he cable breaking. but it would be nice to be able to unlock, considering I don't have power steering. Any Ideas?

I was thinking about the ABR lockers, but I couldn't afford it, and have seen them have endless problems. But i checked out the Aussie locker, although not sure yet if it would be better than a detroit trutrac, so if anyone has either lockers, let me know what you think. thanks -wenz

I am going to be putting lockers on my front and rear. I plan on going with the Detroit softlocker for the rear, which is an AMC 20 (one piece). My question is, what detriot locker should I use for the front, the Trutrack or the EZ locker, it will be for a dana 30. I want my jeep to be vary...

I have the straight six, 258, it has just been rebuilt. I will use it as a daily driver, as well as have some fun, probably about 75/25 ratio.

I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HERE HAS PUT WIDE-TRAC AXLES ON A CJ-5. I AM THINKING ABOUT DOING IT AND WONDERING IF IT WOULD BE WORTH THE TIME AND INVESTMENT. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I AM GOING TO PUT NEW ALXES, I WILL CHANGE THE GEAR RATIO, MAKE IT INTO A ONE PIECE AXLE, AND PUT LOCKERS IN THE REAR...

Will the axles fit up with a 78 cj5? and if so how much for both? they are narrow trac, right?

I am from Redlands, near San Bernardino. -wenz

1074721 I would be mostly driving on the streets but some off roading(75%-25%). I have the original straight six 258, completely rebuilt. I want to put at least 33's tires, but maybe 35's. I plan to later move the back axle back and re-weld everything so that it will work (hopefully with my...

1075506 I have seen rubicon wheels sell from $1000 to $1400. I have been watching the prices for the past couple of weeks because I might be selling a brand new set of 5 in the next couple of weeks. So if you want you should look there.[addsig]
