right now there are 2 J-10's near me on craigslist running for $900... ones on 38's... i was thinking about selling my D44 rear with WJ rear brakes... D30 front with WJ steering brakes and knuckles... my 4.0 with some good mods... and my recently rebuilt BA-10 and 231... with selling these i think i could easily buy a FSJ with a 360 and D44's... if i had them sold already i could easily buy one of these J-10's... i know im looking at re fabing the axles in... the back would be easy... the front would not... and if i remember right advanced adapters makes motor mounts for a 360 conversion. since i would be using everything from the FSJ i dont think i would need any other adapters... what else am i looking at buying here or spending? ive got a 4.5 short arm kit not on the jeep yet but plan to build my own long arms... so a custom cross-member is gonna happen anyways... im just wondering if this sounds like a good idea to everyone else? heck if i could find a J-20 then i could run 8 lug front and rear... anyways my goal is to run 37's on 4.5 of lift... lots of body fabbing i know... but im just not sure if i built the D30 it would hold up... and im gonna want more power then the 4.0...thanks for any thoughts... also maybe some ideas as to what years and gears to look for if i do decide to do this...

perfect doners...

those are both passenger side drop. if you are taking the whole drivetrain do it up. just let it be known you will need to cut into the floor to clear the passenger side drop t-case and hopefully not too much will be in the way of the driveshaft.

if it were me i would look for a 1980+ donor, drivers drop, less work, just as strong

aahh... information i was looking for... i knew some were and werent drivers drop... just didnt know which... but these are more or less just examples... they would be long gone by the time i pulled my stuff and sold it and was finally ready... lol... 80+... ill keep an eye out...

found a j20 84 model... runs good... $1000... Im really thinking bout it... lol

do it!!! would be bada&&

I got my driveline out of an 89 waggy, driverside drop and still had to cut the floor board a little but thats the easy part, made my own mounts and crossmember, Im working out the suspension now. I cant wait to take it whealin. Feal free to check out my pics

will do man... u swapped motor, tranny, and transfer case too or just the axles?

never mind just looked at your pics... what makes me mas is i had a frame of a 79 power wagon... all the running gear ran fine... i lost my job and didnt have time to sell... scrapped all of it... i could now kill myself for that...
