Well i parked my ZJ at my HOUSE!

And im about to take off to the states and pick up my 93 Grand... And the Co-Pilot

come to find out my spacers were not centered on my hubs and were causing my nasty vibration... i had my co-worker throw my wheels on for me while i did some fabrication, guess he didn't know he had to center the spacers when he put them on (only 8mm, not big 1.5" that bolt on...)

but yeah my shimmy is GONE, jeep drives like a champion now...
debating on driving down, and bringing my 93 up on a trailer... gotta weigh the pro's and cons of it all...

That would havw been a nasty ride. Glad to hear your going to bring back bauty and the beast. Just don't run over any statues this time. :)

Put all new calipers, rotors, pads on front and back, and brake shoes in the rear. New master cylinder, got a used combination valve for the internal seal and aluminum piston/seal holder, and a used ABS module. (Previous owner put oil in master cylinder and wrecked the seals on ABS module + combination valve) Cleaned up differential covers, new pinion seal in rear differential, axle seals on both sides in rear then all new fluid front and rear (differentials). New CV boots on both front axles plus all axles front and rear sandblasted/cleaned up. I also sandblasted/cleaned up the wheels hubs and most hardware (bolts, nuts, small springs, pins/clamps for brake shoes).

Tomorrow looks to be a fluid change for anything remaining. All that's left otherwise is getting the A/C working, new headlight assemblies, vacuum the rest of interior (everything but rear seats to rear hatch is done), finding a decently priced 3" - 4" lift kit, and new tires (trying to find BFG All Terrain T/A KO 33x9.50r15 and if you know of a place to get them, that would be great if you could pm me).

Sounds like you've had your hands full with that ZJ. Have to love the things that people will do with vehicles when they don't know and won't ask.

Shazzamy

Yeah it's been a bit of work to get it all done! Uhh... are you saying I don't know what I'm doing?

CrazyWJ242

LOL why couldn't you be doing all of that to my 93 ZJ

I sucked it up and bought a built Dana 44 with locker for my ZJ in the USA... $250! muhahah...
and i've already cleaned up my D35 to regear... so debating on beefing it up and have a spare...

I also sourced a High Pinion Dana 30 im going to pull it out from the Cherokee and regear to 3.73... and im debating on a locker in the front too... its a matter of costs vs reliablity vs finding a Front 44 instead... seeing how i really havn't got into too much crazy stuff i might go mild with my Jeeps... keep them trail reliable (not overkill)

My other rig is a 78 F100 Custom with Dana 60's and 14" of lift running 44" Tires...

Shazzamy, I was commenting on the part where you said the last guy filled the brake reseviour with motor oil.
Mike, unless your going to bring back a 44 for me quit telling me the prices. :P
Still debating on whether to put 4.11's in or go with 4.56's this spring. The 11's will bring me back up to stock equivilent but if I start pulling a trailer with it I'm thinking the .56's may be the better solution.
If you would get another WJ then you could take the front 44 out of a JK and put it in, problem solved.

Shazzamy

Oh! I apologize for my jumping to conclusions there! Otherwise, do you have another vehicle for towing trailers?

04WJGuy

Yeah, 4 more Jeeps that are all geared with 3.73's lol!
And the better half wont let me play/ mod any of them other than my 04. I did a 3.5" short arm lift on her 04WJ last year but it's a trail machine. Mine gets all the damage.

Shazzamy

Oh hahaha! Well it might be time for a re-gear I guess..
