so at my work we gotta park at a walgreens cuz there is not enough parking for all the employees so today when i get to my jeep the manager of walgreens is outside by it . . . so she tells me im ruining her parking lot and i have to park somewhere else if i dont fix it. just kinda made me laugh

 

Cory you are a life saver thanks a lot for your help tonight!

i think the 25th should be the meet-n-greet so everyone should come it will be a blast and you should tag along cory

 

I should be able to make this one.

 

Well, I think Steel bender on Thursday. Friday we are doing Gold bar the back way to rusty Nail. Saturday we're probably going to do Hell's, I want to try the hot tubs, escalator again, and i've never been up hell's gate.

 

Can I tag along?

 

I would love to man but I work all that weekend! Hopefully the next one will fall on my weekend off and i'll be there.

 

anyone is welcome! it would be fun to meet some new people.

 

What no prichett??? You'll take hells gate with ease, but I'd be scared on escalator!!! I watched a clean old willeys get BEAT on the one, fell on his right side on new paint!

 

I want to do Pritchett, but the wives don't want to take the kids on it. I've been on Escalator before... laying on my right side with my head lights pointing to the sky that is. I think with it lower, longer, and wider I can get it now.

 

Ya a good spotter & that wide stance it should do fine! What did you say you pulled ur axles outta? I found a 78 bronco, I think its D60/hpD44 not sure? Are they worth asking about?

 

as in what like building them up or just using the axles?

 

Useing them under my XJ

 

Mine are out of a 79' Bronco. 78 Bronco will be the same. If it was a F150 that year it would be the same. An F250 that year should have a Dana 60 rear, and a D44 front with leaf spring mounts instead of the cast arm mounts like mine. But I believe the 44's are Low Pinion these years. And the F250 D44 will be wider than mine, and 8 lug of course.

My buddy is actually in the process of and almost done using a cast wedge axle like mine, but he welded control arm brackets to it, and built coil buckets on top of the wedges. It's actually turning out pretty nice. I'll have to get some pictures of it.

 

I'm not wanting to get all into the rear coil setup, but defiantly long arms up front... What did it run ya to regear & did u do that install yourself?

 

As far as the 9" goes, it will pretty much bolt right in. Spring perches will line up, brake lines should hook up. You will need a 1310 to 1330 conversion u joint, and probably shorten your drive line.

I bought the front for 450 bucks, was already geared, locked, warn hubs.

I bought the 9" for 100 on KSL, spool was 100 bucks on Ebay (you could always weld it, I dont), 100 bucks for a set of 4.86's on Ebay, and 80 for an install kit.

So into axles less than 1000 bucks geared and locked.
