smashed through couple snow banks in the front yard. nothing much else, not like I have a nice 80* day to just fix something. :mad:

this is what I'm going for with the leaf front set up.... :thumb: like this except I'll be running shackles in the back. http://www.wheelingarizona.com/forums/files/P0001800_croped.JPG lot of good info on the unibody over on pirate, if ever need ideas I'd start over there. (Read before posting) Cherokee Mission Statement and Links to Tech - Pirate4x4.Com Bulletin Board

finished install on rear driveshaft then got it stuck, damn open diffs and bald front tires. :fs1: (log under snow behind my tire)

well all put back together now, can't go faster then 55mph on the highway, lol Rounded up more parts for the 44/60 set up and suspension setup. stuck at joes, :shake: Lincoln locked front and rear. D60 caliper brackets and military wrapped YJ front springs for front leaf spring conversion. :yes: Axles painted and pretty. 5.13's for the 44 be here by tuesday then install them and major axle work be set. :woot:

That link is by no means by me, I just linked to it as it was a good write up for the conversion. I'm working on a 44/60 setup, but I did come across a 01 WJ in the jy and has everything complete on it yet, So wanted to post up if someone is looking for such a swap project, as I know those no come to the pick and pull very much. pm you details if your interested and we can talk about it on the phone and go from there. :thumbsup:

:D no, failure was due to bad pinion bearing from when I got it, of course it didn't help it much from that little mud hole but but true failure was due to PO.

Wondered if anyone be interested in doing this conversion, as in interested in the parts as I Have lead on the parts for this conversion. http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/tech/brakes ... /knuckles/

finished install of rear axle less drums, need JY to open, but then started pulling the bent front axle as well today.

mall crawling and took out the ring and pinion, don't know why its a awesome 35. :nuts: So out with that and in with another crap 35 to get me by till 44/60 is done. Then be swapping the matching D30 up front as well to replace the bent housing, SO bunch of axle swaaping to hold me over the winter. Only hiccup is that they are from newer XJ, so the brakes no swap over so in need of newer drums and rotors, abs crap I tell you. :fool: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2 ... 1387163525 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2 ... 1387163525

driver error backed up to far trying to work self out of hole, once winched out made another run and cleared it with ease.

Some wheeling poses and some after math shots of this last run, inverted shackle. :D quick fix with the hi-lift jack. :yes: Still working on axles, need to get them built soon. need 5.13s for a ford 44 front if anyone knows of anything. so got the knuckles back drilled machined and taped and hy-steer arms, reamed and ready to go.

everything is gone. all jeep stuff is sold or given away. done traded the diesel for my new toy... a redneck 78 f250, 44/60 400 auto 205, on some beadlocked 33 bfg at lol.

Pending trade for a 98 xj w 3 in lift. Lol still a 10 slotter!

Yeah on my phone, if go my profile and look at my threads started or search 91 7.3 F250 diesel it should pop up. Fix link when get to a computer.

Still going to build a YJ just no need a tow rig now or full size truck so want a MJ again to play with and pull the jet ski to the lake.

Looking trade my truck for a mj or I will sell 1800 obo Pics and info http://www.greatlakes4x4.com/itrader.php?u=5436

getting closer, most everything is sold. :(

more and more everyday I get a little closer to throwing in the towel. Be so much easier to just sell it all off and by a damn MJ again and wheel the hell out of it with a 3" lift and some 33's. :(
