Ya, I saw that and I emailed the guy to ask if it was abs. No reply yet.
I'll do it though. I might as well throw some new bearings in there. I'm
just worried about setting up the gearing. I could probably get someone in
the jeep club to come by and check it for me. Oh and thanks, I didn't know
which the 1 5/8 belonged to.

Hi Steve,
Trouble is every carrier is different, if they weren't we wouldn't

Maybe Nick may blue and it'll come in with what's he got, but that's not
my luck.

Well, I bid on it. Hopefully if it doesn't work it won't cost me much.
