My bad, it was the CAD, which was a vacuum actuated shift fork. https://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/transmission-drivetrain/154-0904-dana-30-vacume-disconnect/

Something must have been oddly swapped then. My 97 for example, the Dana 30 front hubs are always locked. It also has the beefier u joints. Swapping away from vacuum hubs is common to increase strength and reliability on earlier years.

Right now I'm running 3.55, but with a manual transmission. I expect myself to likely go to 4.10 sometime in the future, but nothing deeper. If you are wanting to avoid any trimming/nasty rubbing I think 32" is pretty accepted in the XJ community as being the sweet spot for that amount of lift...

They do still make the 10.5 wide option. Stock width was 225/235, which is what I'm running now. I've attached a pic of mine with 235/85r16 on stock ICON wheels. I don't notice them being any harsher, I run 28psi front, 30psi rear, and the rig weighs 4200lbs. I am running slider boxes for the...

Yup, peak hp is like 4600, and redline is maybe 5k. Rarely find myself needing more than 4k rpm myself.

Exactly, ones driving style makes a big difference in how's things get destroyed, especially when locked. Wheel spin/hopping is the primary way to break something.

From what I've experienced, one main reason people need to trim going to bigger tires is the width of the tire and the offset of the wheel. If you stick with a narrow the like they were designed for, with an original offset wheel and width they'll tuck in the wheel wells just fine. The vehicle...

Just an FYI, peak torque on the 4.0 varies by year. Once you're at year model 97+ the peak torque is at 3000RPM.

I would say your choice of upgrading axles to only go to a 32" tire doesn't make sense, I would beef up the ones you have (unless Dana 35) instead. Keep in mind you lose ground clearance going to bigger pumpkins. Also, why the 17" rim? You lose out on sidewall height, and this contact patch...

Hey now, you never know. Could always meet up friday night for the rest of the weekend!

Hey! I also have July 4-7 off and am researching where to go explore for the long weekend. Open to ideas for trails to try and people to meet, perhaps thinking north of tahoe or off of HWY 4. Still a lot of snow at elevation though...

Hey in case it works for you, there is a rally point for hollister sunday july 29. My plan is to show up late Saturday and camp overnight in case that might interest you as well.

could work, but it would have to be a really early trip as I have obligations that late afternoon. Saturday is free however...

Just keep in mind that campsite closed down for 60 days beginning the 9th for them to rebuild thr bathrooms. https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/plumas/recarea/?recid=11198 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using OB Talk mobile app

Anyone game for a day trip this weekend instead? need to test my suspension since i've adjusted it again.

Any luck with your rig?

Any interest in doing an explore of the northern region of MNF?

Any plans for the coming weekend of 23-24? Would love to do an overnighter.

Then would be the time, as Frank Reines closes for the season on the 18th. If a number end up going I'm likely to be drawn along.
