Looking for welding/fab work help

I have a rear bumper with tire carrier made by http://detoursusa.com/ that I won at the GAJR a couple of years ago, and what I'm looking to do is to add a 2" receiver hitch to it. I have a stock Mopar 2" receiver that I took off of my 04 Unlimited when I got it this past winter. What I'm l...

Just want to clarify, Rich was the rock garden emcee, not the main DJ in 09. We missed Rich last year but are in serious negotiations to bring him back in 2011 for the garden again. :D Welcome back Rich! You should think about joining, great club! Negotiations........? Last time I got a meal vouche...

Re: Re-introduction

I would love to come back. And it will be easier for me to do it this year because as of yesterday I am a proud Jeep owner again. I bought a 2004 TJ Unlimited today, so I'll have more room to pack all my gear. Here is a pic of my new ride (please forgive the pavement, I took the pic at the dealer) h...

Re: Tranny swap question

Rich, I have an NV3550 from a 2000 TJ. I don't know the condition of the clutch, but will when it's pulled and can include the bellhousing and clutch components. The NV3550 is considered to be a stronger tranny than an AX15, with a lower 1st gear as well. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks, J...

Re: Re-introduction

Here is a picture of my ride.... I mean lawn ornament. I'm in need of an ax15 tranny (and a few more things I'm sure) in order to get it back on the trail. Is there anybody out there that knows of a donor Jeep on life support, looking to extend the life of another before you pull the plug? http://i9...

Re-introduction

I'm new to this forum, but I was also on the old forum. My biggest claims to fame are winning the Detours TJ bumper/tire carrier at the rally a few years ago, and not at this just past rally, but the year before I was the dj at the rally rockpile. I got a 97 TJ in need of a 5 speed tranny, if you kn...

Re: Tranny swap question

I've been doing some research, and just read more on the ax5/ax15 differences, so yes I see as you stated that the swap is a no go. I was suggested at the time that the shift fork was broken, the guy at the transmission shop noted that, since the shifter moved unrestricted only been 3rd and 4th, but...

Tranny swap question

I have a 97 TJ with a 4.0 and a 5 speed transmission that has no 3rd and 4th gears.
Can I swap in a 5 speed transmission from a 97 TJ 2.5?
Did they both have the ax15
