I have a SYE I'd like to get installed on my '97 TJ.  Where's a good

Hello,
I have a 1998 Cherokee with 210,000 miles which is producing some noise
from the rear end.  I believe the rear differential needs some work and
am looking for recommendations on quality repair shop.

Thanks so much.

Brad

What are your plans for the jeep?  trail use? daily driver?
How many passengers?  How much do you want to spend?  What model are
you leaning towards?

I have a 1983 CJ 7 project that was painted in the past so it looks
ok from a distance but the body has usual rust spots that can be
covered up by rock guards to look ok. The frame is good, no
rust,motor will start and run to load but is worn out,transfer is
good (dana 300),transmission works good in forward gears but won't go
into reverse very good. It should just need shifter parts. Narrow
track axles work fine. Also have chevy 3/4 ton parts that go with the
jeep to help with the rebuild that I have listed below. if you have
any more questions or need more pic's just email me and let me know.
it also has nice ricaro seats that I put in it. If you don't want the
chevy parts we can adjust the price.

350 Chevy rebuildable motor that was rebuilt and set with moisture in
it (the block needs to be honed and has flattop pistons) just needs
rings and bearings and the heads can be cleand up but are not the
good highperformance heads
TH 350 4x4 transmission
203 transfer case (jeep has the original 300 transfer case, in good
shape)
Dana 44 full size front axle
Full size 12 bolt rear axle.

I am asking $2500 obo.
call for more info. 580-465-7789

MORE PICS ON REQUEST

I have a SYE that I thought I was going to install myself, but have
changed my mind.  Is there some place in the San Antonio area that
will install this for me?

Sold my 2003 Liberty and had to remove the lift system.  To my
knowledge, these fit all Jeep Liberty years through 2007.

2.5" Rocky Road Budget Lift - $100

Rockrails (made from receiver hitch steel tubing) - $100

(5) BF Goodrich AT KO (245x75x16) with 40% tread, mounted on
16x8 Polished Aluminum ADR - Nitro wheels
(1.5" backspacing, 0 Offset) - $600

Pictures of the lift system, tires, and rockrails installed on my
Liberty are available here:

Oops!  Sorry about that.  Usually when we have a Christmas party in
December, we don't have a business meeting.  My error for the posting.
  The rest of the calendar is correct.  Please try to attend another
meeting.

I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with an automatic transmission.
The button on the side of the shifter stopped working so I took the
handle off and found a plastic rod going down the center of the shifter
shaft was broke in half. Has anyone else had this problem.

Thanks,
Jason

OK, was at Chester's tonight at 7:30 as advertised but no one else

First time to post here. My brother and I did a weekend with the club
at the Utopia lease a number of years ago. Had a great time.

My daily stock street driver, '97 Sport, ABS, 5 speed, has recent
rear-end troubles...a bent right drive axle that has damaged the
spider gears.

I'm wanting to replace the rear differential with a similar type. The
gears are 3.07. Would there be a spread of years that would bolt right
in? Possibly too, from a Cherokee or the like? Maybe someone here has
changed out their stock rear-end for a beefier one and has the stock
one in storage.

If you have one available, please email me.

Thanks for any help,
Randy

The 4.56 gears would give you decreased mileage.  I have a 2003 Rubicon with a 4 inch lift and 33" with the stock 4.11 gears.  My mileage improved a little with the larger tires, but not much.

4.56 were to low wiht 33s? I was thinking about swithing out my 3.73s for  4.56s, Was your MPG to low? righ tnow I am getting 12.5MPG average on a 2006 wrangerl X with 4 inch lift 33X10.50 on stocck rims. I do mostly city driving very little highway and was thinking the 4.56 might giver alittle better milage with alot of stop and go traffic and if I ever want to go to 35s I wouldn't have to switch out gears. I have had my jeep over a year now and oly have 7,000 miles on it that tells you how much highway driving I do.

trade-offs associated with going bigger than that.

And even with 33's, you may find it necessary to
change the ring and pinions to something like 4.11 if
your Unltd is not a Rubicon.

Friends who've gone the 35" route on a daily driver
have typically worn-out drivetrain components on the
street and broken axle shafts on the trail.

With 33's I had none of the above mentioned ills. I
did run 4.56 gears, which I found to be too much on
the highway, so I'd stick with the 4.11-type gearing.
(I found stock gearing to be insufficient to maintain
speed on hills and overpasses without a lot of
annoying downshifting (with a 5-speed trans.)

Like you I drove very little on the highway so I
didn't really care about mileage. (Less than 20K miles
in 4 years.) The Jeep would go like hell off the line
with the 4.56's, but just turned to many rpm's on the
highway for my taste.

I think you are correct in that the 4.56's would be
better suited to 35's, so if you think you might go
that direction and highway rpm's don't bother you, I'd
say go for it.
