thanks guys!

yom - you buy the beer and give one $1k ill swap you in one. of course you gotta leave the truck for at least a month. give me a heads up in april and we will get together and wheel. of course you probably won tliek this black gooish swamp mud that we have up here in north florida

i think backspacing i 3.75" but fmexplorer might know better since hes the bloke i got em from. they look wide as hell but also the sxle is an inch or so wider than stock wheelbase width.

 

[Yomie]

You know, i always wanted to wheel with you cause my truck was bigger that yours, lol

but now i'm kinda worried

i guess 33's aren't big anymore, lol

 

[BUCHVILLEMAN]

ha ha! dont worry there are still plenty that are bigger than me. im jus trying to cathc up with local boys that are all between 38 and 44" boggers and swampers.

Wow, look out, thats a huge log your crawling on.....Try for a ramp next time. Looks good though

 

[BUCHVILLEMAN]

your a funny guy! ill be sure to get a ramp next time. that log is for my wife... its a rail road trussel, its theres so she wont run into the house

Hey Gabe, you running lockers or anything in either axle?

What were your final results for driveshafts? Did your front happen to be a cv style or a yoke style drive shaft on the tcase end?

 

[Yomie]

Dora's little sister!

 

[BUCHVILLEMAN]

front is going to end up being cv style (double cardan u joint) on the tcase end (was this way stock) - still havent gotten it lengthened. though.

right now open front - ford LSD rear. more than likely will go with trutrac or no slip in the front and go back to the spool in the rear. the main reason i took the spool out was because of wife but now she doesnt ride in it at all


yomie is a pimp!

i know theres no flex in this shot (still afraid to drop rear driveshaft but before i couldnt drive up this hump in 2wd - now no issue cuz of the 35s.

previously i would be about an in from hitting the bumper on the dirt. this is pretty extreme angle. my 3 year old wa sin the car seat and only being held in by the seat belt.

 

[JoshC]

You and Robb both must have had some left over tcases from the 94 models cause his also had a ujoint style on the tcase. Mine has that stupid cv style. I've got to find an adapter for that. Doesn't someone make one of those?

 

[Yomie]

Yeah Josh i have the CV Boot style up front too.

Damnit guy's help me find a cheap Leaf sprung D30!

Description

This is a Front Dana 30 with 456 gears rebuilt about 2500 miles ago. It is an open differential with all new bearings and hubs. Axle u-joints were also replaced at the time of Rebuild.
Also included is a heavy duty chrome Diff cover.

I will also include a set of Super Heavy duty lower control arms that are lengthened to put the diff back into proper alignment with over 5 inches of lift for an additional $20.00. These have poly bushings in them and can be seen in the pictures.

Also included at buyers request is the steering linkage.(I will remove if not wanted buy buyer).

I am doing some heavy modifications to my Jeep and putting a Dana 44 in the front with posi and a Dana 60 in the rear with a locker and converting it to leaf spring all around.

This axle will fit Jeep Cherokees from 1984-1996. This came out of a 1996 Cherokee but may fit other vehicles such as Jeep Wrangler, CJ, TJ, ZJ, Ford Ranger or Bronco II.

These gears worked perfect with 35" Mud Tires.

Check my other auctions for more Jeep parts...Rear Leaf Springs, Front Coil Springs and a Dana 35 with 4:56 gears.

Good luck and Happy Bidding!

hey buckvilleman, you running 15x8 or 10?

 

[Muskrat]

I would advise against running anything other than a selectable locker upfront, it could make your vehicle behaive unpredictably on the trail. I plan on going with an ARB up front, and an Eaton Elocker, I saw them for the 8.8 in one of the mags, its a bit pricey, but I want a LSD in the back, with an option of locking, and would rather have open up front, and locked with the flick of a switch. I already have a compressor (HumVee Thomas unit), waiting to be installed, so that saves me some cash. Right now, I'm going to gear the front to 3.73's fo rhte time being, run it open, and when I can afford new front and rear moser shafts, eaton and ARB, and gears, I'm going to go to 4.10s, thought about going lower, but not practical for a street driven truck, if it was going to see a lot of trailering, maybe I'll go lower some day, but I think I'll hold off to get an A2 and possible an underdrive box. Or I though about doubling up the cases, either 2 1354s, or maybe throw a D20 in there some where, I still have many options.

Hey buchvilleman, you said you got a steal on those tires, what kind of deal did you get?

Ryan

 

[BUCHVILLEMAN]

the wheels are 15 x 10.
i got them from a fellow member of www.flexplorers.com who is also a member here (FMexplorer, AKA jon mcleod) you could say i got an inside deal. ive got to cook for him on allthe flexplorers camping trips from now on.


i agree with muskrat on front end... i want a selectable locker for the front but im thinking that im gogin to go with LSD for steering purposes. as far as the rear - i ran a mini-spool for most of last year and loved it. wife hated it so i took it out. a full time locker or reinstalling the spool in the rear is in my near future.

i too am running 3.73 for the time being. i cant decide to gear it or get a winch first. either way it will be this summer before i do either.
