I don't remember. If that bearing comes apart easily (again I don't remember) you could just hold the inner part in your left hand and die grinder in right. If it's one that stays together just go with the flow and let it spin - the die grinder will spin way faster anyway and should ensure you...- Shankster

I used a die grinder. A Dremel might work too. I'd wait till you have your LSD before diving in. Just keep taking a little off till they slip onto the LSD. Run the die grinder around and around inside the bore of the bearings.- Shankster

Oh, another biggie I just thought of - I believe it is the rear diff where the ring gear bolts are reverse (left) thread so be sure to loosen them "righty-loosey" or you'll twist the heads off. Guess how I figured that out :)- Shankster

Sounds like you're well set up for the project then - have fun! Back to those setup bearings for the front diff, I was able to finds some no-name cheap bearings on eBay ($20 for both https://www.ebay.com/itm/175705889112 - says for Alfa Romeo but was correct for the Dana 3 Super too). Once you...- Shankster

I guess it depends on your comfort level with fairly technical mechanical work. I do all my own wrenching with no formal training so occasionally fail or learn a hard lesson. That said, I did install both diffs in my Liberty having never done it before. Won't say it was easy but I did have fun...- Shankster

I went ahead and placed the order for the AA ET93 - didn't wait for him to send me anything (figured he was maybe trying to do it outside of Alibaba). $386 total. It was very straightforward - no different than ordering off Amazon or Ebay. I'll post back here if and when it shows up. Let us...- Shankster

Yep, that top listing has the best combo of warm fuzzy that it's the right one, and price. I did message the AA ET93 seller (3rd one down) 3 times and he's responded each time assuring me it's the right one. Still, if it's not correct you might have a hard time claiming it wasn't you that...- Shankster

I drive on snow and ice on mountain roads a fair bit and those auto lockers scare me. Loosing the rear end on Coal Bank, Molas or Red Mountain Passes in a snowstorm is not something I'd want to experience. That's why I went with a Torsen in the rear and why I'm looking at a selectable locker to...- Shankster

Slight correction. The model numbers are not exactly the same across the board, The TRE4x4 model #s are TR93 for the air locker and TE93 for the E-locker. So are the TRE4x4 from the same factory as the rest? I'm guessing they are but who knows? Those are a bit more pricey but still a lot less...- Shankster

Not going to set me off, in fact I'll try to stir the pot here :) I was looking at e-lockers for the Liberty's Chrysler 8.25 on Alibaba yesterday - shipped price is somewhere in the $370 - $420 range for a complete kit so pretty insane. I suspect one factory in China makes the air lockers and e...- Shankster

So which of the OX switching mechanisms are you looking at? Air, electric or manual? Manual looks tempting but where would you mount the lever and is there a good route to mount the cable in a Liberty?- Shankster

Just to be clear, the "Spartan Helical" is not a locker, it's a mechanical type (as opposed to a clutch type) limited slip differential or LSD, often referred to as a Torsen. I also have one in my front diff and it works in both the Dana 30 and the Dana 30a. It was $259 off Amazon so very budget...- Shankster

Where would I find some of these nerf bar mounting bolts?
No amount of googling M bolt or M-bolt comes up with anything similar. I also can't find a Mopar parts diagram with the tow hooks that would break down the kit into individual parts numbers.- Shankster

Where would I find some of these nerf bar mounting bolts?
Ah, good info re the tow hooks. The used tow hooks I bought and installed had a different fastening system but I see them new on Ebay with the "M bolts". I won't be buying $200 tow hooks to get those bolts but gives me hope that the bolts are still being manufactured and are available new...- Shankster

Where would I find some of these nerf bar mounting bolts?
I was using the original / stock nerf bar mounting brackets to attach some home made rock sliders and I sheared one of these U-bolts (M-bolts?) off. The one in the photo is intact and looks like it should. You thread them through a couple of holes in the frame of the Jeep and can then attach the...- Shankster

Simple Rock Sliders
After bruising one of my rocker panels I decided it was time to add some rock sliders. Bought a cheap welder off Ebay and some 1-3/4" 1/8" wall steel tubing. I wanted to attach the rock sliders with 1-1/2" x 1" rectangular tubing but my local steel supplier only had really thin gauge stuff so I...- Shankster

A Driver's side Thunking Mystery
Don't mean to hijack the thread but sounds like the OP is off to greener pastures anyway. I just stumbled on this - I've been chasing a mystery clunk / rattle on the passenger side of my 02 - whenever I hit a bump. When you say isolator are you talking about the bushing between the frame and the...- Shankster
