Oh this is a jeep forum...

I have a clean TJ for sale. Its not under 5k, but maybe we can work something out.

I do need to sell my toyota pickup first. But please send me the details on your TJ. The wife is already not pleased that I am selling my truck even though there is nothing wrong with it. She would not be happy if I had three cars.

sold sold sold.

Ok truck is SOLD. Luckily I found what I think is a deal on a YJ. I will pick it up this weekend in twenty nine palms. I will be paying 4.5K. It is a 92 4.0L. It has 30K on a rebuilt motor and trans by jasper engines. All good. The one thing I am not sure about, it has a ford 8.8 rear end. I have read a lot of praise about how strong they are but still worry it will be a bear to work on. It has a 4 inch lift with 33 inch tires and 4.10 gears. I cant wait to go thru it and see what it needs. Looks like not much. Heres some pictures.

Photos no worky... you've got "html" pages as images...

I've heard good about the 8.8 too, but be warned, it's a C-Clip axle just like the D35, which means if a shaft goes, you may end up like this:

I've heard of a c-clip eliminator kit for that axle though...

[OU812]

So is the common faliure point on c-clip axles the iner axle splines? I have seen c-clip eliminator kits for the 8.8. I really hope I don't have to change an axle on the trail. The ford axles don't look quiet ad easy to replace as the d35.

Welcome to Jeep
just empty every pocket
yep parts are parts. and soon you will have a lot of them asking for someone to take some away.
Even if you buy a new jeep, there is still the parts parts parts to change change change. but we all love our jeeps, some of us have more than 1, I personally have to admit to owning 3. 70 cj6,04 tj, 08 rubicon unlimited. The cj6 is my baby, tj is the trail rig and wife uses the 08 for a DD.
now that you own one, just write down every thing you would love to have on one. kiss your credit rating goodbye, and and go out and build that rig.

My condolences our your jeep purchase

Welcome.
That is not a bad deal for that YJ
I bought my YJ about 10 month's back completely stock for 4k with 128000 miles on the original 4.0.
I did the 8.8 swap but i made sure to get the newer 8.8 with disk brakes on it so if i were do break an axle i could limp it back riding on the caliper.
Any way's enjoy the jeep and the saying of just empty every pocket (JEEP) is true. I have already dumped over 10k in to it since i bought it!
