Dana 60 being installed under my 91

[Hammer]

On the last run we did the day before Thanksgiving, Sam and Matt took me on Landslide.
They have run in Moab and Rubicon and they both agree that this is the best or hardest run they have seen. The first time they did it they started at 9 P.M. and finished by 5 A.M.
We started a bit earlier but still finished at 4A.M.
I overheated my tranny so bad it was pouring fluid out of the overflow tube. I also broke the gear selector cable and had to finish half the course by having a spoter shift me from drive to reverse. We stopped several time to let the trans cool down and add trans fluid. If we did not wait it would simlply shoot it righ out the tube.

I swear.. it sucks being left out of all these runs. You don't call, Danny doesn't call. I think there have been others lately as well. Hell I might as well buy a Jeep so I have folks to wheel with.

 

[Hammer]

Dont be bitter , your truck was in the shop for most of those runs.
Sam and Matt did not want my first runs to piss anyone off with breakage. Everyrun but Parker was with Sams Jeep only, just to work the bugs out.
If my trans is not smoked we will get together soon.

so did you wheel it or what?

 

[Hammer]

Oh hell ya!
It did great!
Front end is still a bit high and I need to move the rear end back a bit, I also need to install my wheel spacers but my truck will not fit on my trailer if I do.
Other than that it has worked flawlessly.
I am very satisfied.

Wheelin' pictures?

Our three night runs were spur of the moment and I forgot my camera.
I have to get pics from the Parker run from my group as my camera did not get used very much.
I will post when I can

Hammer what knuckles did the D60 come with originally? It looks like 5 on 6.5 bolt circle Chevy knuckles? If so do you or FST still have them?

I have a friend with a long travel A arm kit being built and he is in dire need of these knuckles.

Anyone know where to get a set of these suckers? are they pretty common?

Sorry but this is all new to me D60 stuff anyways...

 

[Rick]

He has D60s front and rear so he just went with wheels to match the bolt pattern they came with...

I had an easy time finding D44 flat tops on Ebay. You probably could find D60 knuckles there as well.

I am going to start a thread with pics from Desert Splash in Parker
