btm24 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Does any one know if this guy has a build page on here? It looks to be an extremely well built truck I know I'd be an honor to own it. http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/cto/5122203070.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Looks kind of goofy with the front JK Ruby D44 ~64" WMS-WMS axle and the rear MJ D44 ~60" WMS-WMS axle. Other than that it does look sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btm24 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 The only thing I don't like is the fact that he went with the Dana 44 as an upgraded re axle, I'm upgrading my re axle (like I have) I'm doing the ford 8.8 with disk breaks, it's silly not to. And 6.5" lift with 33"? Come one 35's or run a 4.5" lift lol Siill i'm drooling over this truck wish I wasent trying to buy a house :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btm24 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 You know your right I did forget you have to use wheel spacers if you run the 8.8 in the rear. Good thought completely slipped my mind :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggcnash Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If he ran spacers on that rear 44 it sure would make it look better though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yep - missed the 2005. Sure looks a lot wider than a TJ axle up front.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjomanche Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I contacted the seller about it a couple weeks ago. I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet. He said that people have been trying to get loans for it but due to the age, nobody can get one, so it would be a cash only sale. Says there is one spot of rust along the drivers side door panel, the front drive shaft needs to be shortened due to the D44 conversion in the front, and a couple other minor things that can be fixed before the buyer comes and picks it up. Looks really nice but I've decided to stick with my current rig for a little while, while I wait for something more local (and hopefully stock/cheap) to come along.
