not much locally. ORW, 4 wheel parts and 4wd warehouse are the only options and they are not that cheap. You might be able to beat them up but it depends on how bad they want the business.

in my experience the local driveline shops are at least as expensive as Tom Woods for shafts, unless you can find something on craigs list.

the prices vary but at the time I got my SYE last year northridge4x4 was the cheapest and had free shipping.

That's why you get the early warning system. If the vehicle drives without the key fob it calls my cell, email, etc and the police within 10 minutes. With TJ only 30 min away, you need a fast response. I knew they stole my last jeep just 2hs after they took it, but that does not help.

My girlfriend had a blast at TDS and on the way home was already asking when we are going again so im seeing if anyone is intrested in a blaire valley weekend. Head out Friday Apr 2 and come back sunday. Jeff? Steve and jimmy?

My girlfriend was so stoked about the offroading we did in the stock bronco that she wants both of us to go in halves on a CJ or Willys to tow out to the desert and have some fun with.

looks like i'm going to do my hydro steer adn sell the JK this spring/summer. my pops is having a REALLY hard time coving the mortgage on the property up north and every dime counts and that JK is pullin 500 out of my acct every month! hell, i already had to wire him up 2k

never seen his business this dry before...he laid off near 2 dozen people this year and is about to have to sell the backhoe and boom lift, crazy. anyways, the JK is finally at a point where its worth more then i owe (yay insurance monies! LOL) which is nice. we got a beater 78 f250 monster truck on 13 or 14" wide ground hawgs w/a fresh 400, fresh 650 holley 4bbl, D60's ft/rr, etc. i'm going to head up there and replace the axle seals, rebuild the transmission/transfer case before i put her up for sale. all the parts are sitting in teh garage, just need to do the work. probably later next month. sucks, i hate to see it that slow up there! but we built that damn house with our own hands from the ground up and ill be god dammed if i'll watch the bank take it over! aside from the ford, i'm shopping for a YJ and/or XJ....and foxbody. lol

that sucks but you do what you have to do, family comes first.

Personally I would skip the hydro steer. That seems like a lot of work and I don't see it adding a whole lot of value to the selling price; at least not as much as the other mods.

death wobble from teh steering box. after having replaced pretty much EVERYTHING front end wise from teh wreck i have found that to be the problem. they use stupidly long sector shafts teh size of a bic pen on these thngs. lame. its that or replace the steering box with a REALLY expensive unit. the parts are under $200...just would take some time to take the steering box apart, drill, tap, etc.

and yea, family comes first for sure!! he's gone out of his way to help me out of pickle once or twice so its the least i can do! not to meantion putting up wtih all my B.S. growing up...i feel horribly responsible for his grey hair and receeding hair line. LMAO

CaribouLouWJ · 03-08-2010, 01:32 PM

I wouldn't bother doing assist if you're going to sell it. Plus it slows down the steering big time on the street.

premo · 03-08-2010, 01:34 PM

maybe ill just throw a grip of steering stabilzers on it. LMAO. actually, yea...thats what i'm going to do. i'm going to put the carpet, fenders and bumpers back on prior to selling and have my neighbor detail it.

kelly, you've seen it since the rebuild...i could probably get 18 or so for it eh? oh yea, i bought a poly performance front track bar mount/stabilizer relocator bracket, etc since you saw it the other week.
