    SPORT Disc & brake pads

    'Sport' means base trim level. 'Limited' means more fancy trim and chrome. Horribly meaningless naming, Imho. The brakes are the same for either one.

    Driving without front drive shaft

    Or the bearing is simply made differently. I believe Chevy and Ford also began producing 2wds around '99 that were just using 4wd unit bearings with a tin cover pressed on over the splined center hole.

    Driving without front drive shaft

    Not really. Good quality unit bearings (like Timken) are simple, strong, and last plenty long. I picked up some Explorer hub stuff from a guy that that was modifying it for a jeep TJ. (He'd given up). I got no further. Pretty small/flimsy mechanism to work with the 5x4.5" pattern.

    Driving without front drive shaft

    I cross checked the 2wd and 4wd unit bearings and determined them to be the same. I drove for a good 6 months without stubs in them. Not all unit bearings are put together the same - so what's being said of XJ and ZJ is probably true.

    Differential case inspection /evaluation, opinions wanted

    Most KJs have the factory track-lok around here. I highly recommend a crush-sleeve eliminator for any rebuild - especially if not experienced with this. Much more forgiving for trial and error.

    Driving without front drive shaft

    Removed the whole diff housing assembly and CVs.

    Driving without front drive shaft

    I removed the CV shafts also.

    Driving without front drive shaft

    Wonder when it changed. I have dabbled with 03-05 amongst np231, 241, and 242. That joint at the tcase has been the same. Which is also the same as found on one end of the Jeep WJ shaft. I got the my CV joint rebuild kit off eBay from an outfit selling side-by-side and atv parts. Seems the...

    Regearing and Locking Diffs

    I was commenting on the rear only in post #24.

    Regearing and Locking Diffs

    Maybe, maybe not. A 4cyl Jeep XJ or 4cyl Dakota might have 4.10.

    Driving without front drive shaft

    Could be the two different auto trans. Definitely keep. I changed the joint easy enough. Parts Jeep came later.

    Driving without front drive shaft

    I have an 04 auto parts KJ and not noticed a shaft length different front or rear with our 05 6spd.

    Driving without front drive shaft

    Yup. Have driven for something like 6 months without the entire front diff also.

    Regearing and Locking Diffs

    Some could be so backwoods on their operation they don't do immediate inventory on receipt of the vehicle. Even if they do, there's also a possibility of unknown details/options. Gets lumped in under the usual 3.73 stock until the diff is physically checked over and inventory is updated...

    Regearing and Locking Diffs

    Not how it works. I have 4-5 years industry experience. The electronic inventory is done soon after they receive it - so they can find/sell their own parts. Participation in the web locator (car-part) is either included in their software license, or an add-on. Then your inventory is visible to...

    Regearing and Locking Diffs

    Try searching for the 4.10 on www.car-part.com. Both as r&p, and also as a carrier assembly. I think north america got a 2.8L CRD and 3.73. Automatic trans only, for certain - and that's probably the main reason I don't have a CRD.

    Regearing and Locking Diffs

    Regular Dana 30 lockers for the front. It's the r&p that are unique. I ran a powertrax no-slip for a while. Incredible traction

    3-5 inch lift

    I haven't had any trouble with the CVs, but I did drop the cradle 3/4" to help things out.

    3-5 inch lift

    I'm all for thinking a bit outside the box. However, I've stopped at about 3-3.5" lift. Cradle drop and taller knuckles would be a direction to explore. If I truly lust for more - off in the future - I'll toss the body on a '79 Bronco chassis or similar.

    My rocky road lift experience

    Another item you can use for lift is the KK clevis forks. They are a smidge longer.
