What rear axle are you running? Any pictures of the install? What did you do for abs/stability sensors?

 

Here's the only pics I have uploaded from the install. If you know what you want pics of let me know and I can go take some or see if I have some on my phone.

Coils and link mounts on




Tracbar mount and shock mounts. For the shock mounts, I just cut out little tabs on the plasma and welded them onto the back of my lower link mount where I had them boxed in.



I made all of my own brackets and tabs for everything because we have a CNC plasma at school. All I had to do was draw up whatever I needed and go up to the lab with my flash drive to cut them out. The only brackets I bought were for my calipers. I'm running 1 ton Chevy JB7 disc brakes on the rear and I'll be running the same brakes on the front when I finally get around to swapping that axle in. Which will hopefully be this weekend.

Side note, I also has to shorten my rear driveshaft about an inch because of how much bigger this axle is. I just cut it, sleeved it, and welded it back together. I forgot to put ATF in it to balance it but it balances fine up to 70mph so I might just leave it. We'll see.

 

Full float d60 from a 79 f250. I have a few pics... What are you interested in? I don't have a lot but can take more. Right now the sensors aren't hooked up but this winter I'll put tone rings on my rear hubs and wire them up. I have a stick shift not an automatic so the sensors don't affect me driving it.

Well it's after 4 am and tonight my roommate @Wiseadam14 and I got project drunk... Pulled my factory front axle tonight to get ready for the weekend.

Looks good. Dana 60 front?

 

Thank you sir. And no, hp 44. Front axle from the same 79 f250. I got both axles for $250 with 4.10s so I couldn't say no

I drove by yesterday and didn't see the trailer was outside so I knew you were up to something. Lookin good. I got a 44/60 combo myself I'm hoping to put in my xj. But with requiring all new steering and another $500 in brackets/trusses I don't see it happening anytime soon. How much for that front end?

 

I can get you all the brackets you need laser cut out of 1/4" steel in the $150-$200 range if that interests you

Thanks man. Yea the trailer is parked to the side of the house. I built all my own brackets at school, we have CNC plasma table and Alro gives you 50% off on steel so I barely have any money into brackets, arms, and steering.

I don't think you'd want by front axle, it won't bolt into an xj, your be better off just running the 44 front since you have to re bracket it either way.

Are you at Western or KVCC? That's nice I can imagine. Yeah Alro is so convenient in that sense. And yeah you're probably right

 

Yea Luke, Ryan can laser them nice and clean or if you're fine with 3/16" and a kerf on the edge I can cut them cheaper. You'll have to grind them a little tho for best fit

I've actually upgraded my current hp30 to 1/4" cause I bent all my others already. Thanks though guys! Sorry for the accidental high jack though. If ya ever need any help or someone to drink some beers let me know, I know how heavy those suckers are

 

Yeah, absolutely will. I've got a barn out off 4th street where I keep the jeep and my tools. Pass by you guys every time I drive out there. I know Kirk, too.

 

Ohh hell yea. I'll be in the garage most of today and all day tomorrow, trying to see if I can get it driving by the end of the weekend lol

Niiice, I'm headed out that way after work if you're out I'll say hello. What tire size are you goin with?

 

If my black half ton Chevy is in the driveway I'm home. I'm sticking with my 35s for now. Eventually 37s after a regear and hopefully stretch

Yea trying to pull the carrier out of my JK rear. Got anything to help with that? Lol

Screw a Jeep build thread, I need to start an axle rebuild thread. Toasted the rear axle in my truck last night... So if anyone has a cheap 10 bolt or 10 bolt internals let me know please

Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

 

Well my truck is back on the road... Also decided that I'm going to 3 link the front axle of my Jeep since I don't feel like making the poly/busing mounts on the axle for factory arms. Thanks to @Ryanw10 for talking me into it. I really need to bust ass to get this thing done, Drummond is in 2.5 weeks

 

Spider gears?

 

Yup. Stripped 3 of the 4. All good now tho

Puss, all 4 gears in my 10 bolt that blew last weekend had stripped teeth.

Started making arms today. Should be cutting out my coil buckets and trac bar mount on the plasma tonight then I'll be good to start mocking everything up. I already have my link brackets cut out and ready to go.



Arms and tie rod are both 1.75" .25" wall DOM with 7/8" heims. Should be a lot stronger than my previous 1 tomb steering set up



For my drag link, I'm going to have a heim on the knuckle end and a 1 ton TRE on the pit man arm since that's what I already have up there. My previous steering was 1.25" .25" wall DOM so I just cut a piece of my 1.75" DOM and used it like a sleeve that the tube adapter could slide into then slide onto the drag link.



Also thanks to @Wiseadam14's drunk urge to draw and Stephanie being bored, I have some new hood art on my Jeep


Anyone want a set of JK axles?

Didn't make near the progress I wanted to this week and I'm headed up north this weekend for deer camp... Hopefully ordering more parts on my way up and getting them next week. Biggest thing I need is 3 more heims, most everything else I'll be able to either build or source locally. Only real progress I made was getting my coil buckets on

Sorry I never swung by, I've been increasingly busy with life, so no time for Jeeps unfortunately. If I don't go up to Baldwin chasing salmon, I may have some free time this weekend. Gonna be around?
