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?

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

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

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

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

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

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.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

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

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

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?

Well I ordered a chromo shaft for the rear a week ago and it still hasn't showed up...and in the mean time I snapped the head off of the pinion on the rear axle of my truck while cruising down the highway so I'm currently without a vehicle. But on the plus side I did sell a fair amount of JK parts in the last couple days to cover some of the expenses on my axles so that's a plus.

Kyle didn't get the tires loaded up so I couldn't grab them when I was in GR today. I've got some Yukon shafts for my 60 too, I'm hoping that keeps the breakage down

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Let me know if you need help getting any of those fancy new parts installed. You gonna fab up some hoops for those shocks or will they fit in your current setup? My 14" rears are huge so I can imagine you'll need something a bit different?

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

A welder is the next big ticket tool I buy, too. How much do you planto stretch it? I've stretched mine an inch in the rear as another 1-2" up front with my axle swap

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Everything requires money though... And a welder. So I'm kinda stuck where I'm at until I get a welder and more money haha

Quoted for truth

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

In the garage pulling the front axle and drinking beer if anyone wants to stop by

Should have texted me :beer:

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Those gussets look good. Ill be interested in a set like @Toyfish as well.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

For anyone interested in parts, I'm parting out my D44.

I may be interested in some of them

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

[Cool Hand Luke]

Here's what's left, all parts from HP Dana 44

Mini spool (auto-locker force locked) $50
4.10 down carrier $50
Yukon thick cut 5.13s, 3 months old $200
Good flat tops $150
Bad flat tops $50
Spindles/hubs ???

My buddy already called dibs on the 4.10s, brake brackets, premium lockouts, and chromo short side.

Ah man okay I was going after the short side shaft as I needed a spare. I've got the rest covered already thanks

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

@LukeRabe I have a short side chromo for sale. Adam decided to just run his factory shaft for now. You wanna buy? I have a full set of longside OE shafts with spicer u joints as well.

The unexpected root canal took away any jeep parts I was going to buy. I have to wait awhile before I can get anything else, unfortunately

Lets bring that bronc up to silver and take it off some sweet jumps

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

I agree safety is #1 priority. I was making a reference to the Napoleon Dynamite movie when they're discussing the mountain bike and he asks about taking it off some sweet jumps. None the less it would make a sweet little dune cruiser.

What weekend is Applefest? I think I might be up there then as well

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

I'd put $5 on that thing not even making it past the entrance

Saw this a few years back. This Camry driven by a couple guys from the Middle East got stuck on the drive in but made it up entrance hill and spent the whole afternoon cruising the flats. Said they take cars everywhere all the time back home. If a Camry can make it I have no qualms about a bronco...

Yea im pretty much boat every weekend now haha.

This is me, too. Take the fishing boat out any chance I can get. I figure Silver is open until November and it's a lot easier to wheel in a Carhartt than it is to launch a boat in one. Plus every park/area is usually less busy once Summer is out
