This image made me chuckle a bit. As I was scrolling down from the first photo, I was thinking to myself...this sucker can go over anything. Then this popped up. Glad the damage wasn't too bad.

 

I got lucky. I had a passenger and no doors at the time.

 

Wow I didn't know that, yeah glad everyone came out ok.

 

That post took awhile to make! Glad I saw this thread. I always had wondered what your bronco looked like. I hope we turn the jeep we have into a trail rig...otherwise I always wanted a Bronco.

 

 

Picked this up today. Its some kind of helical l/s out of a Dana 44 Jeep rear with 4.55 gears. It does not look like a stock Jeep unit. It looks like a Detroit, but not exactly.

 

Time to install the LSD

 

Did you get it done? I just got finished rebuilding John's front 60 (again). His pinion was loose again. I found out who ever set up his gears the first time didn't do it right. Luckily its just his trail only truck and didn't have high miles or high speeds put on it. The last guy who changed his yoke messed up the threads on the pinion. Turns out they replaced the nut with the wrong one. John got another nut but was the wrong one as well. I ended up cutting about 3 threads off the pinion (they would have chewed up any other nut going on) and re-installed everything with a new, correct nut. He will need a new ring and pinion next time its taken down. Gear pattern is way off, but John decided to just run it as it is, which will likely be 2 or 3 more rides, and he will be getting a new R&P as well as an E locker. We also found it has GM spindle nuts. So a set of Stage 8's are on the list as well....

I will be finishing it up today. I'm running to the new Liberty yard this morning. Had a buddy tell me there is a Chevy 44 with factory drive flanges on it. So I'm going to go nab them.

 

My 44 already had a trac-lok in it. I didn't even know.

 

Replaced the inner axle seals while I was in there. No more fluid pouring onto the ground everytime I am off camber.

 

Also swapped to the single spindle nut setup. Lets see how it does.

 

Stage 8's are the way to go. The single style you have gone with are better than the stock setup, but can be a pain and troublesome to remove when you need to service...

Nice, testing out the new camera?

Man, its all bad. Its dark, its blurry and there is a whitle squiggly line in the background, looks like overexposure []

Had fun clearing the road for the neighbors.

 

Where's the plow?

Lol I just told Katie that needs to be the next project. Removable plow.

 

 

Few pics from the Mawl Crawl yesterday.

924 on the RTI

 

Time for an update. Picked up a Dana 60 today. Been wanting to go 8 lug for a while. After finding this, it made it official. Its out of a 99 Dodge dually. I will have to get a one piece passenger shaft to delete the CAD. And I am pretty sure I am going to convert to leaf springs unless I find a deal on air shocks. Next step is to find a Sterling for the rear, and then the 44 will be going in my F150.

 

This is my plan for the CAD front axle. I have seen write ups on how to make your own kit with a throttle choke cable. This way I can weld the front, save some $$, and still be able to disconnect the passenger side to help turn. And I will be able to do it from inside the cab.

You will regret going leafs in the front, its like riding on bricks, stupid stiff ride. Stay coil spring. If you wait long enough, my airshocks will be going up for sale when I redo my setup...

You do realize it won't be long after you do tons that you'll be going bigger tires, which means bigger motor. You'll be doing a V8 swap in no time...lol
