ml4x4buggy ok all heres the deal we got the jeeps done and took them to a local hole.its not much but a good test bed rite behind the house.so holes we used to get stuck in have now become very easy and you have to work to get stuck.we found one problem on each jeep.the blue cj5 has a bad starter mite be all the water she is drinking lol and the yj has a bad case it was sold to me for the sye and low range is bad going to switch it out and be good.
now heres a story. i bought the yj the guy said its not a hiway jeep no good for long trips. well it had AT tires i thought it would be fine so i got it riding home i saw what he meant it vibrated bad. so while we upgraded it we put thronebyrd tires on it made it worse. we get it in the garage at my sons work and start putting in all the parts i've rounded up. well we took the front drive shaft out and had to pry it out it was way to long the slip yoke was jammed and the pinion was all messed up the drive shaft it self was bent had about 2.5 inches of swing at the end when rolled on a flat table. so with the new 410 rears and the sye new cv drives shaft in the back and the rite lenght one in front it is now a 70 mph hiway jeep that does real good off road. its been fun all the wrenching this past 2 months but i have to say when we went out to the small holes and did'nt get stuck it seems to have taken the sport out of it lol haha NOT! have a great day
