Fenders and grill are different between those years, but me thinks the mounting to the unibody is same. I have the PDF of the install downloaded somewhere, but can't currently find it. Google Fu could probably locate it.
Breather hose for front diff. It was originally on one of the 4 upper shock mounts. Mine is currently ziptied to something near the battery (I don't remember what) as high as possible.
did some wheeling yesterday with my friend and some kiddos, his oldest daughter's nitro got hot and was left behind while we continued the rest of the way up. Probably for the best as I don't think it would have made it due to it's stock form. I was glad to have the clearance and the limited...
The pinion gear is the difference. You cannot put a 30 pinion into a 30a. Search on car‐part.com. I found mine by looking for a transmission for the 4cyl knowing if I found a transmission they must have the vehicle it came out of. After I found a few I found some potential candidates made a few...
Your best bet is wrecking yards. If you find a ring and pinion new you're looking at around $800 for the set, at least when I was looking a few years ago. Also 4.10 is the lowest available for the dana 30a.
This I did not know, is it the dodge trucks that have the different bolt pattern? I have a set of axles just sitting in the garage out of a 2004 if someone needs them. Probably not worth shipping. I'm in western idaho.
Was getting some clunking on Saturday so I did some inspection and found my transmission mount to be sagging. Replaced it in October 2022 with a crown automotive brand. Even filled voids with 3m window weld and it all squished out. And it was still bonking against the transfer case. Luckily...
Unless you're doing some extreme lift you likely need to bottom out the upper control arm (short as possible) these were originally designed for a slightly longer vehicle. I'm also running the IRO uca but still running stock lower with about a 3.5 inch lift.
This is correct, I'll add that the rear is most likely a chrysler 8.25 which is a much more common axle which makes parts more available and less expensive. On the other hand the jeep liberty is the only vehicle I'm aware of that uses the dana 30a. Many parts are the same as other axles...
I wasn't trying to give you a hard time, hope I didn't come across as such. The price you're asking is more than reasonable especially for new. Finding these gears for these things is like unicorn hunting.
The 4.10 ring and pinion is unique to the kj dana 30a which makes it expensive if it can be found. I ended up driving 4+ hours to get one from a wrecking yard. Finding a donor vehicle is most certainly the most cost effective approach if you can find one.
I've got a trailer made from the bed, frame and axle of an 80s GMC. The tongue is short and the height is good, makes for an awesome multi use trailer behind the jeep.
