4x4 donor truck


Recommended Posts

Not without re-setting up the gears.

 

does that mean I have to use the 3.07's, or just take out the posi element and put it on the 3.55's?

 

this D30 is a HP axle, unlike the LP i have in the other MJ. 4x4 swap will have to wait for a while - next year or this winter most likely, unless someone wants to help me out.

 

The posi cannot be swapped without re-setting up the gears. And gears are not swappable between LP and HP axles.

 

Have you ever set up gears before?

 

 

negative.

 

just interested in the rear axles here to clarify. they are both stock.

I don't recommend trying to swap gears or carriers then. It's a complicated process usually best left to the pros (and it's not cheap).

 

I would use the 3.55 open axle and install a locker (the kind that replace the spider gears) like the Aussie.

I have had an Aussie in my front axle for 6 months now. Very happy with the off road performance. Amazing difference in traction!

 

In 2wd on the road I don't even know it's there, except for the clicking sound when it ratchets to allow one wheel to overrun the other in sharp turns.
