I am not in any club, but am in the area. Lot's of decent guys around here. Some good wheeling, like up in northern MA/ Florida road area. If you see a big ugly guy in this jeep, dont hesitate to say Hi.

[pharmd]

Some pretty good wheeling up there. Though, I am sure it has changed a bit since I last went years ago.

[tbenks]

hey guys, just one more question for ya, my ball joints are really bad, (all 4) now i want to do it myself, because i cant afford to have a shop do it, but everyone i know keeps telling me its hard as fuck, is this something i should just take a stab at in my backyard? or not? never done em b4

[Joey D]

what axle?

[tbenks]

i wouldnt call it an axle lol, dana 50 ttb

EDIT: well i guess what i'm wondering now is, will i likey have to replace other stuff in the ttb like the wheel bearings, bushings ect when i do the ball joints, if its to much money im gonna just say F it and go for a d60

Cool Grand Cherokee. Yes, I live in Wilbraham on Main Street. Constantly driving all over the place. Busy, busy.

Trying to get my garage shop up and running atm for the spring itch. Putting together a CJ7 for my wife as a DD. Know anyone in the area looking to get rid of some axles for CJ (setup: carb 350, SM465, NP205 Pass drop, 33" tires)? Pref 4.10 gears. Otherwise I am going to narrow some.

[pharmd]

Not yet. I will look there. Not looking for anything specific other than a gear ratio.

[chasespeed]
