There may not have ever been lists. But there's 35 pages of threads, there is prob info in there. When something get's 'unsticky'd', it falls back into its posting date.
As for me using a forum superpower to resurrect/view old deleted threads, no, can't do it, not possible.
Good enough answer?

They are $158 anywhere that sells body parts. I prefer Renova in Burnside. They carry Jeep floor pans too. (complete driver front pan $108)

drill the locking collar and then hit a chisel across the top of the hole. collar will split, then slides off.
beware stock and aftermarket axles switch orientation of taper on bearing. I've put them together wrong before. (If you have one-piece axles)
i think the backing plate holds them in. no c-clip, hence the retainer at wheel.

I'll stand behind Craig too. Would be great to have him as a TM.
He has an absurd amount of Jeep specific mechanical knowledge from years as a Jeep enthusiast and his time at APJ, plus he has been exploring the woods of NS for 20 years in Jeeps. He never really left our club in spirit, but life and the oilpatch happened. He's one of the guys who got this club off the ground, so its pretty cool to see him have the time to contribute again.
Couldn't ask for a better candidate.

I would up scoring a used stock compressor, so I mounted it on top of trans tunnel, under the heater vent outlet, by driver's toes. Just in front of the console trim. Put an illuminated rocker switch to power it. get power from fusebox. For the rubber line going back, bought vac line @ .87/ft. ran under console trim, drilled thru floor w grommet aroud e-brake area, there once thru the body, ran it along the rear brakeline right to the diff. Diff had a hole big enough for brakeline to pass thru, then JBWeld with a long cure.
The compressors have a built in auto-shut-off at 8psi. And self-releasing pressure when power removed.

Yep, installed mine last night. the heart pump and some brakeline JBWelded thru the diff, and rubber hose. Easy.
The pressure relief valve to go back to unlocked is right on the handpump.

Ya, you have to replace the inner shaft with something new or another used Rubi shaft. There aren't cheap old swaps. The outers are the same between Rubi/Non-Rubi. Make Sure if buying used, you are aware that the stub shafts have two different u-joint sizes. Old ones from XJ's can be a smaller joint. The Rubi uses same size joint in stub shaft as later XJ's and all TJ's. Not really your question, but that's where you usually run into fitment problems. I'd highly recommend jumping to RCV's instead of aftermarket u-joint style axles, which break a lot. RCV's are extremely high quality, and have full strength at full turn (ujoints are reduced to something like 50% at full lock). They don't hop when doing a burnout and turning. (CV - constant velocity = smoothness). www.rcvperformance.com/product-details-axles.aspx?sku=CVJ44

I'm going to go walk around and ask 5 guys right now. lol My shift team-mates all have gear at home.
My neighbor might have one on an old machine he drug home that's in very poor condition. I can check out the size, and he would prob be cool with you borrowing it, if you cleaned it up. If you just need it for a special job. Prob not for sale.

Axle shafts for what axle? My remaining Commando has a centered diff 44 with one piece axles. That old thing might be coarse spline (6 or 8 spline axles)

Oh man......I've been around those types of 'events' down there. I like to party too, and can appreciate a good bout of lawlessness every now and then. Trucks Gone Wild, New Waterford edition. lol
Those types of gatherings are NOTHING like Jam. You'll think you died and went to heaven. Bring your family, feel safe!
