    75 CJ5 dana 30 spline count

    Hey guys I cant find anything using the search function. Without pulling my axle shafts is there a way to know the spline count on my dana 30? It seems I have the 27 or 30 spline option, would there be a reason to convert to a different spline count? I want to get both axles completely rebuilt...

    Can you identify this lift and tire size?

    Hey gents I have been looking at parts for the CJ and while doing so came across a picture of a setup I really like. I cant tell how much lift and what size tires (maybe 35s) the jeep is running. It is a spring over so I am maybe guessing 2.5 in lift swapped to spring over??? It is the first...

    just bought 75 CJ5

    Why would you not find it worth it on the 304? Its $1500 for the full kit to convert to fuel injection and save a lot of head aches on the trail. At some point it will be a complete trail rig with dana 60s front and rear. Yea a 350 or 302 wouldnt be bad motors to swap into it. Being a brand new...

    Curious about fender flares in Nevada

    Was wondering if any of you guys get much grief from HP around Vegas if your tires stick out way past your fenders.

    Stumped on what to do

    Hey guys, I have always wanted to buy a JKU but havent been able to justify the cost of all the mods that I would want to follow shortly after buying it lol. Last November I bought a 2014 Ford Focus ST and have paid 1/3 off and by the end of the year will have 2/3 paid off. My logical side of me...
