the 35 is the problem child. the 30 just needs some ujoint upgrades. aside from gearing of course, but most all factory axles need improvements there.

there's no 44 that's an easy/cheap swap. how good are your fabrication skills?

gotta rotate that cloud so the rain is coming sideways. it's kinda cool to watch. the big lights at the pool across the water are still on and so we can see the rain and wind. doesn't make for a good photo though.

the 30 is a great axle once you eliminate the CAD and get the bigger ujoints (same size joints as a dana 44) people regularly run 33s and 35s on it.

no, i mean if someone wanted to make molds, nos ones exist. they are not for sale.

junkyard shafts from a 95+ XJ or a TJ. get the inners and outers and joints (then replace the joints with new)

late model shafts go right in (replacing the one seal) and will give you bigger ujoints.

nos flaps do exist.

I'm now in Disney. left super early and drove down in time to beat the 'cane and get into our room. been in plenty of tropical storms but this is my first legit hurricane. always thought about coming down for a quick weekend trip if a hurricane ever came here, but never thought it be an accidental hiccup in a trip that's been planned for a year. oh well. I'm surrounded by concrete with no where to go. bring on your worst Ian. (except maybe don't bring your worst. in fact, if you could just kinda dissipate right now, that's be awesome everyone is already sick of your crap.)

nice! any details on the top?

because AMC.

this is going to suck. I think it's still a 3? so hopefully not as bad as others.

nice that's a lot of layers.

summer in Michigan winter in Georgia rye bread or sourdough?

what shape are the tires in? out of balance and out of round tires tend to start vibrating 55-60 mph.

if by "relatively easy" you mean there are ~50 KJs in self-serve yards within an hour of my house, then you are accurate.

there was one on my 99 TJ AX-15.

photos/location would help determine a price. you need 9 more posts and then the classifieds will open up to you

excellent. now come fix my camaro...

can't AL issue some now?

wait, what does that extra wire do?

I was looking into putting the middle bench out of an Excursion into mine at one point. anything that physically fits can be made to work with some adaptation to the floor brackets. some just take a bit more effort than others is all.

lots of cool toys to buy.

were you using an air grinder to make the cuts? harbor freight has 10 dollar corded ones. I built my truck with that guy.

now there's something for hanging on your wall.
