Ya the Dana 30 seals are a pita! Ya I still have the super 35 cause I haven had much time lately so the 8.8 is just sitting... next week I'm building brackets for it then it will be in,already trussed it and welded the tubes together.
Ya I built a steering box brace for mine since I was ripping the dam thing off everytime I went on a run.

Mike you still haven't plated yours? Mine is cracked about as bad as yours, I'm gonna cut out cardboard templates for the inner frame rail on both sides and hopefully have it all welded up with 1/4" plate by next wednesday Or Thursday. Also replacing engine mounts cause that's what caused it

Mine is cracked further back behind the engine mounts, ill have to post a pic. I already braced the steering box and made a brace that goes from each side of the frame and bolts to the steering box to keep that area fine. My cracks are from the engine mounts being so bad that it is twisting them where they mount and causing cracks.

ok so im seeking a little therapy. I WANNA WHEEL WITH YOU GUYS!. im kinda really depressed. my jeep is so close to being ready. BUT!! here is my problem. I NEED to pay the man before he sticks it to me. (taxes), i gotta do 4.88s with my 35's or bust. cause i have a 4.10's and a lockrite up front and 3.73 open 44 in the rear. i work 40 hours a week trying to scrape every penny i can. with jeep safari around the corner. all the while ive got two other jeeps rotting in the yard making my parents house look like a junk yard, which they harass me about on a regular basis. one with a spun rod bearing. the other with a new motor, ax15, and 44 in the rear that im stripping for parts.

(by the way it has 4 good bushwakers im selling for 250)

all the while i was asked to do a motor swap for my neighbors f100. i trip on jeep parts everywhere i go. im trying to fill out mission papers and save money for that and get in the field asap cause i was 19 in oct.

all this "H.E. double hockey sticks!" MY HEEP PUTS ME THROUGH.
still everytime i glance at it....... i .
is there a disorder for this?
