A bit of bad news, using a high pinion will not work (At least for an automatic 42RLE transmission) I installed the driveshaft last week, and it gets too close to the transmission cooler lines for my liking. The high pinion may work for a manual transmission, but I do not have a Liberty with a...

I did end up rotating the passenger side mount 4 degrees to lower the pinion, however it was too low and caused the diff housing to contact the skid plates. Cutting and rewelding to 2 degrees seems to be just right. It gets it away from the starter some and leaves room for skid plate clearance...

Yes, and I also have skid plates that go from the front cradle to the transmission crossmember that I don't want to create a spacer for.

My parts arrived and I was able to do a fitup. With my sendcutsend order, I also had some aluminum plates made to act a fixture for welding. The normal aluminum diff has the passenger side mount perpendicular to the front mounting surface. I tacked up passenger mount at 90 degrees, but it gets...

I designed up the passenger side mount, and will let sendcutsend.com work its magic and mail me my parts. All the plates for the passenger side mount are 1/4 inch steel.

The passenger side collar is installed. It was too much press fit for the 1/2 inch treaded rod, so I cut a slit in the tube and welded back together after it was pressed in. The other cuts on the tube are superficial and happened when I cut off the Center Axle Disconnect from the axle.

I tired the center punch method, it was too undersized for that method to work.

I cut off another 3/8 of an inch of the driver's side housing, and it is now flush with the main body of the differential. Given that it was a clearance fit, I did not want to waste the parts I had. I drilled and tapped some 1/4-20 holes that went partially into the collar. Installing some set...

Here are the prints for bearing/seal collars. Overall, the collars work pretty good, the driver's side OD is a few thousand's too small, so it ended up being a clearance fit instead of a press fit when installing into the main diff housing. The bearing and seal sizes work well, I was able to...

My parts were machined. On the left will be used on the driver's side, the right will be for the passenger's side to fit in the axle tube. Now that I have the parts in hand, I can do the finish work on the housing to get the distance between the machined part and the differential carrier...

As others have stated, keep driving to a minimum if possible. Most damage for differentials comes for the lack of lubrication. Given that the front diff isn't design to solely propel the vehicle, do not go on a long highway trip that would overheat the oil and then cause damage.

I found a local shop that would make the bearing and seal mounting flanges for the CV shafts. He said he will do it when he has time, but this is low priority for his business. I will update the thread once I have the parts.

I welded my own with some square tubing and flat stock.

I too love the uni-strut roof rack. Its very modular and you can easily move the cross bars to where they are needed.

I always use codes found from this other forum. :) https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/aftermarket-vendor-review/587885-rock-auto-discount-codes-5.html

I had that issue with my transmission cooler lines too. Link for repair thread - https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/trans-cooler-lines.38935/post-792933 They still look the same toady as when I installed them.

Tacomas share the same M16 size tie rod outer threading. I saw a Facebook post with someone using these, but I am unable to find it again. https://warfabarmor.com/products/tacoma-tie-rod-sleeves?_pos=2&_sid=63e60391a&_ss=r Doing some googling, it looks like Broncos also use a M16 outer tie rod...

Looking on rock auto tonight, Dana 84270 is in stock.

Sorry, I am not interested in shipping the bumpers.

Yes, they are still available.
