3.08 and 3.07 will depend on the axle you're counting teeth on. because differentials come in all different sizes, they have different numbers of teeth on the gears. some axles will have a 3.08, others will have 3.07. just like some have a 3.54 and others 3.55. or 4.10 and 4.11. it goes on and on. designers did their best to get the numbers to be the same.

and the front axle is their weird IFS design.

I know lund made 2 different visors, called a sun visor and moon visor. don't know if anyone else made one though.

I know you don't want the hassle of swapping out the front axle, but the change from 3.07 to 3.55 will put a smile on your face every time you drive. :D I promise! :yes:

also, you can post any gif out there. just treat it like a photo.

if you can find it out there in the ether, I can add it. :thumbsup:

I had an alternator short out internally and catch my cables on fire. not fun, especially on the side of the road.

none of the 3 bumpers are listed as standard equipment. all say optional.

consider it dead and start shopping for a whole axle. :thumbsup:

KJ rims are all 5 on 4.5 and the typical Jeep backspacing (5.25"?). :thumbsup:

throw a topic in the pub about looking for texas junkyards :thumbsup:

we've got the 5 spoke aluminum on our libby.

I love the winterforce tires I have on the van :thumbsup: (cheap as heck and stud-able too). but then I kinda figure that all snow tires will be awesome. :dunno: you just need to find the tallest one that's also stub-able. tirerack might be of help. I bought mine through them.

personally I'd be willing to pay up to $300 for an MJ dana 44 in good shape and with the ratio I needed. $150 for anything else. but if the only broken part is your spider gears, it's super cheap and fairly easy to get junkyard ones and swap them in. Just don't spend much on that axle because if there is an underlying cause for the breakage, it can happen again.

either you walk in to the front desk and tell them what you're looking for and they go get it (for normal junkyards), or you walk in and pull the part yourself (for pull a part style yards). be prepared that a normal yard may not want to split up an axle if they think they can sell it whole. try pull-a-part.com or lkqselfserve.com to see if they have a yard near you. and there are lots more pull your part style junkyards out there. those 2 are just a couple of the biggest chains.

junkyard, junkyard, junkyard. I cannot emphasize enough how worthless these axles can be when they start failing. brand new spider gears will not benefit any more than 5 bucks of junkyard gears. :thumbsup:

welcome to the club! personally, I'd pull that spacer until I was ready to lift it to it's final height. without longer control arms and a longer track bar, you'll never get a good alignment at 3.5". and the parts you'll need at 3.5" are most likely not what you need at 5"+, so you'll be saving money by doing it right just once. :thumbsup:

that was the theory, yes. turns out the amount of gas and wear is so small as to be unmeasureable and Jeep thankfully ditched the stupid design in the early 90s. :shake: the only thing you'll notice is if you've got a bad front driveshaft ujoint. :thumbsup:

please, please, pleeeeeeease don't spend much on a Dana 35. they are a WEAK axle and not worth the money. changing ring/pinion gears is not as straight-forward as you might hope. spider gears are pretty easy.

all I can offer is that the cheap covers don't keep out dust or rain 100%. :( It's worth it for the better ones. :thumbsup:
