ComancheKid45 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Decided to tackle my Axle install tonight with a few friends and install my XJ 3" AALs while I was in there to see how much lift I could gain from them... Pulled out the old Turdy-five Ready to throw on the AALs D44 in its new home! :clapping: After all was done i gained right about 2" in the rear after the AAL, I'm sure itll settle some but i am pleased, I have LCAs and springs ordered for the front so ill be right over the 3" mark on lift which is where ive wanted 2 be for a long time. Need to replace 1 brake line tomorrow but otherwise Its all but done. Very productive evening :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Its in an Driveable! :clapping: Front lift components should be here in a few days but for now ill run 2.5" higher in the rear, lol. The driveshaft has enough slip yoke clearence it seems with this setup but getting that trimmed down some in the future may be on my list as well. Next up after front lift install is an Aussie/Lockrite Locker in the D30 :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Got my front lifted today :D Rustys (I know :dunce: ) 2" Coils, Rough Country Adj. LCAs and a Skyjacker track bar bracket completes the front setup Truck pretty much now sits 3" or a bit more over stock and I think I'm finally done with the suspension for awhile. Next on my list is a Locker for the D30 and revamping my hood :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Today i recieved my Spartan D30 Locker I called up a friend and dove right into the install tonight fluid drained Assembling the carrier and going back into its new home :brows: I tried it out alittle after completion and am now amazed.....i can't wait to acctually see what differences it makes down the road :cheers: I'm chillin with a cold MGD now and all smiles. next up on my list.....rock sliders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 while, theoretically, nothing should go wrong with your gears since you just removed the carrier...you really should have run the pattern before removing it, then run it again and compared after reinstalling it. on top of that, you shouldn't have had to remove the carrier to install the locker. remember...it's better to leave gears alone unless they MUST be touched.

ComancheKid45 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 The center pin for the spiders would have hit the ring gear by just fractions of an inch or I wouldent have removed it. No shims or washers fell out during the removal process and we made sure to keep everything in order and reinstall everything in the excat spot they were removed. Overall it was a very simple process and drives fine with no additional noises :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Sorry for no recent updates on this machine either, its been pretty trouble free lately minus the ECM going out about a month ago and leaving me sitting 40 miles from home. Otherwise ive been DDing it alot and enjoying winter in it as well. Soon on the list of mods is a set of Rock Sliders with my Tax return and possibly an adj. Track bar. Overall Ive been nothing but pleased with its performance for all the more ive built it and if it keeps a smile on my face then theres no reason to change anything :D All shined up :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Well I'm tired of blowing 260x U Joints and the LF lower Ball Joint is toast so time to spend alittle money :D Some 95+ XJ Axle Shafts and New Spicer 760x U joints are on theyre way, as well as Alloy USA seals and MOOG Ball joints Stay Tuned :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Well my Ball Joints won't arrive till Monday but I went ahead and got as far as i could with the rest of the front upgrades. all the work went smoothly even removing the old ball joints. When i removed the lower castle nut and gave the knuckle a few taps to free it the ball joint acctually seperated :eek: It was that close to just failing, so I'm happy I decided to get this done! I got the old U joints outta the 96+ shafts and prepared them for installation, this will ditch the CAD system and allow me to run the Spicer 760x U joints :D I got the right side all finished up and back together today, and with some Alloy USA exterior axle seals, upgrading the shafts did not require removal of any Diff. internals :clapping: Ill finish the drivers side up after i get my ball joints installed Monday then hopefully ill be ready for alittle more fun off road with a few less worries :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Historically, whenever I pulled my shafts, the seal at the carrier ALWAYS leaks... just giving you a heads up. Keep an eye on the fluid for awhile if you didn't replace the seals. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 No problem.....Ive had the shafts out 3-4 times prior to today and haven had a drop of fluid leak from the tubes, but I always moniter it and will continue to do so :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
