I have 4.24 case gears. Welded front and rear on 36s, my 5speed trans, transfer case, and even my driveshaft get so hot I can't touch them. Is this just because they are in a bind with being welded front and rear or what? All fluids are new and topped off. Anyone else have this problem?

Ok, So here is my plan and if you see something that does not work let me know.  Also this is a trail only rig and is not street legal. I would not do some of these mods if I were going to be driving this on the street. Rear 89 yota rear welded, 4.10s, Cherokee leafs reversed with 2inch lift...

I tried installing my new to me diff drop kit and all brackets line up except this one seems way off and in order to line it up ill break my aluminum diff in half. Any ideas?

I am installing a calmini 3in suspension lift. I have broken some bolts and need to get some replacements, Here are the bolts that broke. ( it is kind of impressive) 1 front 17mm control arm bolt, all 4 rear trailing arm bolts and both of the body side wishbone 3rd link bolts. I believe that...

I have a 97 4dr 5 speed tracker that I am starting to build. She runs great! purrs like a kitten. I have only put about 30 miles on her since I have owned it. I believe I am getting Antifreeze in my oil one way or another, typical symptoms, little bit of consistent white smoke out of the exhaust...
