lockers
Not going to set me off, in fact I'll try to stir the pot here :) I was looking at e-lockers for the Liberty's Chrysler 8.25 on Alibaba yesterday - shipped price is somewhere in the $370 - $420 range for a complete kit so pretty insane. I suspect one factory in China makes the air lockers and e...- Shankster

lockers
So which of the OX switching mechanisms are you looking at? Air, electric or manual? Manual looks tempting but where would you mount the lever and is there a good route to mount the cable in a Liberty?- Shankster

lockers
Just to be clear, the "Spartan Helical" is not a locker, it's a mechanical type (as opposed to a clutch type) limited slip differential or LSD, often referred to as a Torsen. I also have one in my front diff and it works in both the Dana 30 and the Dana 30a. It was $259 off Amazon so very budget...- Shankster

Where would I find some of these nerf bar mounting bolts?
No amount of googling M bolt or M-bolt comes up with anything similar. I also can't find a Mopar parts diagram with the tow hooks that would break down the kit into individual parts numbers.- Shankster

Where would I find some of these nerf bar mounting bolts?
Ah, good info re the tow hooks. The used tow hooks I bought and installed had a different fastening system but I see them new on Ebay with the "M bolts". I won't be buying $200 tow hooks to get those bolts but gives me hope that the bolts are still being manufactured and are available new...- Shankster

Where would I find some of these nerf bar mounting bolts?
I was using the original / stock nerf bar mounting brackets to attach some home made rock sliders and I sheared one of these U-bolts (M-bolts?) off. The one in the photo is intact and looks like it should. You thread them through a couple of holes in the frame of the Jeep and can then attach the...- Shankster

Simple Rock Sliders
After bruising one of my rocker panels I decided it was time to add some rock sliders. Bought a cheap welder off Ebay and some 1-3/4" 1/8" wall steel tubing. I wanted to attach the rock sliders with 1-1/2" x 1" rectangular tubing but my local steel supplier only had really thin gauge stuff so I...- Shankster

A Driver's side Thunking Mystery
Don't mean to hijack the thread but sounds like the OP is off to greener pastures anyway. I just stumbled on this - I've been chasing a mystery clunk / rattle on the passenger side of my 02 - whenever I hit a bump. When you say isolator are you talking about the bushing between the frame and the...- Shankster

Help with mystery front driveshaft
Thanks for the pics - my TC flange looks just like the top one but with 6 threaded holes instead of 8. You've reassured me that I could go with a standard driveshaft if it came to it. And that XJ 4-bolt flange is a different pattern than mine - as I said, mine is a 6-bolt "pattern" on the...- Shankster

Help with mystery front driveshaft
Hmm, what makes you think the flange on the t-case got changed? Looks like the standard driveshaft flange is 6-bolt and mine, while only 4 bolts, is a also 6-bolt pattern. I wish I had measured that flange and bolt pattern while I had the driveshaft off now - if something breaks on the trail...- Shankster

Help with mystery front driveshaft
Figured I should put this thread to bed. I finally got sick of the squeaking and reached out to Mako Driveshafts (Oakland Park, FL) for help. Steve was amazing and helped me figure out what parts I needed. The ball seat repair kit is Spicer 10018465 (or equivalent) and the U-joints are Spicer...- Shankster

Do I have the parts correct for my lift kit and what is the difference between front and rear height
I just looked at RRO and JBA websites. Not seeing what you're seeing. A pair of UCAs from RRO is $449. A pair of UCAs from JBA is $475. As u2slow mentioned they seem to be basically identical with the nod maybe going to JBA for their reputation of outstanding customer service. As I mentioned...- Shankster

Do I have the parts correct for my lift kit and what is the difference between front and rear height
What I meant to say was that the RROs are not better than the JBAs. I initially did my lift with the stock UCAs but the passenger side one was hitting the spring so I bought the RROs (it was during the pandemic and the RROs were slightly cheaper and they were able to get them to me a few weeks...- Shankster

No benefit to the RROs. Mine have been fine and I had no issues with the company but some on here don't like them. Go with the JBAs for sure.- Shankster

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't think the spacers will do any of those things. I'm intrigued by those longer CV axles but note that Rock Auto has them for cheaper and those who have tried them say the boots (outer I think) fail quickly so if you go that way you should look at replacement...- Shankster

Do I have the parts correct for my lift kit and what is the difference between front and rear height
It's been a while since I did my (very similar) lift (2020, 8,000 miles ago). I think I got about 3" of lift on the OME springs but that was from a baseline of 20 year old worn out factory springs. At the time I suspected that OME under reported the lift you would get from their springs for...- Shankster

Need help identifying these control arms so i can refurbish them and replace the ball joints.
They look just like RRO control arms too which also use the Moog K-6292 ball joint. Bottom line, you're probably safe going with Moog K-6292. If in doubt you could take one of the ball joints to your local Auto parts store and compare them alongside the Moogs if they have them in stock. My RRO...- Shankster

3-5 inch lift
I'm a bit late to the party here. I think I got more than advertised (around 3") lift in the rear with OME / Bilstein and added 3 conduit nuts on top of the clevis to raise the front to the same. I don't think I'd want to go higher - already borderline scary in off-camber situations like Duderz7...- Shankster
