Last weekend I met up with Matt(OVERtheEDGE) and installed a new axle w/ 4:10's Whoopie!!!. Should have taken a few hours and, but ran into a few problems and ended up taking about 9 hours. Had a bent axle shaft in the new axle so we had to take the rearend apart after it was installed. Anyway, here are the pictures that we go, didn't take to many cause we were working(pics. courtesy of Matt).












New axle on the floor

 

Nice work, and the truck looks great as always. Did you just throw in the axle shaft from your old axle into the the new one? Who's shop?

 

Looks good man...i know your lovign your new found power lol....3.55's would of made me wanna cry esp with these pa hills everywhere

 

Ya, we just pulled the axle shaft out of the old axle. We had a heck of a time getting it out though. We popped the diff. cover off and then started taking a screw out to get a pin out to get a c-clip out, but the screw broke, so we destroyed the gears to get the clip off just to get the axle shaft out. I ended up having to scrap the old axle. Got a lousy $10.45 for it.

 

Man I love it like you wouldn't believe! I was giddy as a school girl when I took it out for a test run.

 

That was a fun day. Hows everything doing?

 

Everything is doing well, I am loving the new found power.

 

Lol i wouldn't dout it

 

awsome, love the way u lifted the rear-end.. haha thats great

 

We had blocks under there too just in case the lift dropped the truck a little, but it never did. The fork lifts name it Floyd...don't ask.

 

Looks good mike!!! Jeez i wish i had a fork lift handy..LMAO!!!! how you like'n the new 4:10's should help a lil on MPG's!!

 

Who needs jack stands when you have a fork lift LOL

wish i had a fork lift to help me work on my truck, lol

 

Hey mike when i come to that meet you better watch them sliders like a hawk cause they might disappear lol

 

Awesome dude. Glad you finally got some gears. Is it open or l/s?

 

ummm i wouldn't if i were you cause i tried that at the knox meet back in march and i got ***** smacked....really hard!!!!!!

 

Very cool but I was a little let down. I thought you were getting a new front axle with t-case, etc...:)

 

i think he might hear the cutting wheel cutting the welds just maybe lol



truck looks great man just 4wd swap it already

 

Ya the cutting wheel might be hard to disguise.

If I was made of money I would have done the swap already.
