Well this repair is gonna be expensive... Pinion bearing in rear Dana 35 are going out. The shop is going to replace all bearings and seals in the rear end, including outer axle shaft bearings/seals.

For that price you could find an 8.8 or 9 inch ford

The shop did the repair on my Jeep yesterday. Ended up being the carrier bearings, but since they were in there I had them replace all seals and bearings in the rear end. $554.16 later and she rolls quiet down the road!

Did some camping/off-roading at Badlands Off-Road park this past weekend. It was my first trip out with my XJ and with my 3yr old son. It was a fun time.. I'll start out with some of the photos I took and then post the video after it is edited and also more pics after the rest of the crew sends them to me.

My brakes were toast after the run at the Badlands... So i replaced them with EBC slotted/drilled rotors.

Damn those are sexy!

I just lifted my 2000 XJ. I used Zone Offroad 3 inch lift. Love it so far. Although I'm waiting to buy some flat flares and cut a little to fit some 32 inch tires.
Still running stock 29s
