Steering shaft came in. I think I'll order the tcase tomorrow. Going to get the jb fab triple cable shifter and the shifter rails for the 205 and also a tmr support for the 205.

 

[sreidmx]

Nice paper weight ya got there

Pull on it fur me! Haha

 

[wetoolowdingbangow]

Just ordered the jb fab triple stick cable shifter, adjustable detents, shift rails and what not for the doubler. Excited to have some top notch stuff on some cringe worthy leafsprings lol.

Got the xj shaft on today. It had some sort of glue I had to melt with the torch so it would telescope. I managed to kill the piece that keeps the seal and stuff inside the column as you can see. I've found one parts guy online and it's 76 bucks. I'll have to keep looking. The steering shaft is sloppy because of it.

 

[wetoolowdingbangow]

Ah it appears the jeep parts fit this column. 22 bucks!

 

[obijuank5]

Where'd you get it for 22 bucks at?

Found an old thread here confirming this part number works. I just bought it.

 

[obijuank5]

Oh I thought you got the whole shaft for 22 bucks. I still need to do that bearing kit.

Yeah it was just the metal cap I crushed. Everything else could use replacing though. I should go through the whole thing but we'll see how far this gets me.

Looks like you need a column lower bearing and you need to weld the top of that XJ shaft. The ears on both side. I will help 100%

 

[brans87]

Yup jeep part works done it! Have a extra some where in garage.

Also can fix upper steering column with jeep parts Mastered That!

 

[wetoolowdingbangow]

Started taking this nasty thing apart. Might have it all boiled out before I machine on it and out it back togethor.

My steering column parts are here so I can fix that too.

I managed to buy the wrong sized angle iron for the crossmember. I'm going to try to find some larger stuff nearby tomorrow.

 

[skunked]

I was wondering what that burnt smell was

Burnt Vaseline

 

[wetoolowdingbangow]

Just ordered 32 spline outputs and a full big bearing rebuild for the 205. Can't wait to get this thing rocking.

 

[wetoolowdingbangow]

Got this all taken apart. Gonna see if I can get it boiled out tomorrow. Also debating on making a pto cover because why not.
