Well I got the main part for my sas tonight!!!!

 

looks good but you do realize that axle has CVs right? You might be able to swap those axles out for some with the 297x Ujoints.

 

D30?

 

looks like it. el jeepo el axelo.

 

yep its a d30, and i am gonna get rid of those cv flanges, my buddy has a whole bunch of websites for me to get the axle ready. yea i picked it up ast night for 50 bucks and if the guy finds the driveshaft he is gonna give me a call.

 

damn i thought u were talking about the christmas tree in the backround..

 

Good find for 50 bucks. When i do mine i hope to find an axle that cheap!

 

if you pay any more then 50 for a D30 then your over paying. I know when we strip jeeps down we give the stock axles away cause they arent worth much if not anything at all.

 

Wow I wish I lived near you because not very many people give stuff away like that here.

 

Here neither!

 

I got everything torn off of the axle and got the axle housing painted. I lucked out the axle had 3.73 gears in it and my friend has told me that i can reuse the carrier when i put the 4.10s in it.

 

Great progress, looking good.

 

damnit dan, get er done

 

Lookin good man!

 

i still think you should have spent a little more and got a D44, but at the same time your actually have an axle and im still dreaming

good luck, i cant wait to see how it ends up. what are you doing for suspension?

 

i say go with a D44 as well. been there and done this D30 crap.

I got my D44 and D60 for 85 bucks delivered!

 

I could have had a d44 but I belive that the d30 will do fine for me, and its the same bolt pattern, close to the same width as the 8.8 and was a hella lot cheaper than the d44. The suspension im going to run is jeep coils and long arms, still trying to plan everything else. Its going to be aug of 08 before I do it though, give me time to prep and get all the parts, and my sis goes away to school so I get her car for a dd.

 

why dont you like that d30?

 

a waggy D44 is the right width isnt it? atleast close
what size tires will you be running?

and because i'll be wheelin minimum 35s, probably 37s or 38s, locked and a heavy right foot... i dont show it in many videos but i am lol


oh and i forgot to mention im going full width.

 

Hey Dan what gears will you be running? I will have 4.56s for sale in January.
Also I will have a Detroit True Trac for sale this summer maybe earlier.

Let me know if you are interested. Same with Cross Over Steering and a Track bar.

I will not be selling my axle as a whole... its got a few issues with brackets.

 

full width FTW!

I'll be 37s Locked front and rear... cant wait.

I am sick of the crap i got now

 

oh yeaaaa
will i get to see your truck crawlin then?

 

depends what i can find to craw on, i live in farm country remember. you are in the best place for trails!

building sliders in 2 weeks. 1.75" DOM .120 wall, should be fun, :)

 

well im not quite sure yet do you think I could fit 35s with the 5.5 coils and a 1'' body lift? I might take you up on the 4.56s, Are you going to be selling any of your longs arms/ suspension parts?

 

i'll get getting a set from Pottsy probably... dont you have that nice big park or what ever somewhere up there?


sorry about the thread jack, im out
