i went and picked up two d30's tonight, both are HP axles.
they are both out of 90's yj's.

one has 3.07 gears and the other has 4.10's.

im going to make one good axle out of the best parts and go from there.

i have to get an axle shaft from a tj d30, but thats nothing.

tomorrow im going to go pick up the 4" or 4.5" lift leafs.

got everything for $120.

on with the pictures, i will get more as soon as we get the parts up to my dads work.

 

you keeping it spring under??

 

Lol... I guess I took the p*ssy way out and bought a vehicle that already had one...

I will be very interested to see the transformation...

 

nice job.....

 

i think im going to keep it spring under axle for now, we will see.

 

heres better pictures of the axles.

the one has an aftermarket cover, so im told anyways.

 

good find

 

i wonder if my 97 2wd calipers will work with the jeep spindles.

that would be sweet because mine are dual piston and the jeep calipers are single.

 

i have been thinkin about doin the same thing with my 97 so this will be a great thread to keep up with.

 

i was going to do coils but im cheap, so im going to leave my coil buckets in place for now.

 

Wow, you shouldn't have bought them. Can't you see in those first pictures that they are both covered with that white "axle fungus" -- man, that stuff if murder...I bet those axles are just rotted through and through...

Seriously, though, my best to you. A SAS is a major undertaking for anyone. It was more so for me because I was chronically lacking skills and experience prior to changeover.

But now, when Jimmy asks "Are You Experienced? Have You Ever Been Experienced" I can reply "Well, I have...."

 

haha, axle fungus.

 

(spring over)

it'll cost you what... a few bucks for the new perches?

 

yeah, but i will have to buy lift leafs for the back, i don't have that much money to play with right now haha.

plus, i have a spare axle to play with.

 

then wait an extra pay check to start. what about Chevy 1/2 ton springs? like 100 a set

i need a job, then i'm gonna have the issue of what leaves to use haha

 

i need a job too, your not the only one.

to bad michigan sucks.



im just going to put some 3" blocks in the rear and hope it sits some what level.

 

ha
you stole my idea

im thinking about just bolting in the rear axle, getting the front setup with w/e springs i decide to use then buy a block to level it out until i get more money and do it how i really want it

 

Danny, you can hardly afford gas now. Imagine what it'll be like when you SAS it. Eeesh! My best to ya, mate! Yarrrrrrr!

 

my o2 sensor and cracked cat is to blame for that..

it will be fixed soon.

 

cool dan, cant wait to see how it turns out

 

every day?

that was only on sunday, i didn't get home till 7am, happy 21st bday to me, i can't go out and have some fun.

 

more updates, im picking up an 8.8 tomorrow along with some lift blocks.

my locker and 7.5 with 3.73 gears will be forsale soon.

 

more pictures, thanks justin.

i still have to install the 4.10 gears in the axle, then it will be installed along with the 2" blocks.

i guess the cover is leaking, its one of the stupid composite covers, one of fords better ideas.
glad my dad had a spare laying around.
