when are you starting the swap

 

Whenever I get every part needed to complete the swap. Still got some stuff to get. Going to try to do it with as little down time as possible since its my dd.

 

Well not a whole lot to update lately. Got a lot of parts that should be coming in in the next week or 2.

My little JBL 8" sub took a **** the other week so I just ordered a new Kicker Solo Baric L7 8" Should be here one day next week. Going to give it a try and see how it is.

Got new front calipers, pads, and brake line from Rock Auto the other day for the d44. Also ordered a set of Sammi rotors to finish the disc setup on the 9"

Got other various little odds and ends on order.

Got one more big order to place with Ruff Stuff and I will have everything I need for the sas and I can get to swapping.

Ill post pics as parts come in.

 

That's some nice stuff. Can't wait to see it put together.

Been hitting up the online discounts through Advance and Rockatuo.com for some kill deals.

Rear disc parts


Pieces for the doubler shifters


Ruff Stuff is have a 20% off inventory reduction sale so I figured I would go ahead and get everything I needed from them.

Heims/spacers for the track bar.


Diff cover and pinion guard. Pinion guard should protect everything good. Its nice and long.



Crossmemebr mount kit


Axle swap kit. Missing the u-bolt plates and shock mounts so there not pictured.


Almost getting that time. Only a few things left to get.

 

Hell yeah!!

Double post. lol

 

now THAT is a pinion guard.

 

Got the missing pieces for the swap kit from Ruff Stuff today. They have great customer service by the way.


Picked up a stick of DOM the other day for the steering and track bar


Serpentine clutch for my York compressor also came in today. Got a gasket kit on the way for it also.




Also traded a set of power doors off my parts Explorer for a set of manual doors. Now to see if I can find a set of blue manual panels for them to put in mine.

 

C-bushings and brake lines.


Doubler shifter boot.

 

You're building this thing right. Having on-board air is gonna be the jam!!

 

I have OBA now with a electric compressor. Too slow for me though. I want to be able to run air tools also.

 

yeah gonna be slick.


double shifter boot..oh my god..what does this mean! lol

 

Overlooked the pics of the doubler?

 

Got home from work today and this was waiting on me. Got it for a good deal so I said why not. Got it threw one right quick. Really nice shifter. Made a extension right quick to use with the 3" body lift. Also have room to actually use the cup holders now. Thats the main plus in my book.





Also got the gasket kit for the york today.

Going to try to swap diffs in the front axle and get the 9" put together this weekend so they will be ready to bolt in. Hopefully it wont be long now.

 

Rat Funk style!!!

 

You mean rat fink style? lol

 

Yeah. lol

My hand to keyboard coordination was not too good last night.

Anymore progress on the doubler?

 

My buddy has the case and going to weld in the filler pieces for me when he gets a chance. After I get it back from him ill start putting it together with the other 1354m I have.

 

Got the axles put together this weekend.

Swapped the carriers out in the d44, cleaned and repacked the wheel bearings and new seals, new rotors, put the diff cover and sprayed a little paint on it. Only thing it needs now is the camber bushings.

Set the backlash in the 9" and put the pinion guard on and new pinion seal and swapped on some new axles bearings and threw it all together and sprayed it with a little paint. Just need the weld on the caliper mounts and it will be ready to go in.
