OHHHH!!! Any clue what the name might be? I'd love to track them down to help me build a D44 F and Ford 8.8 Rear.


Hell if anyone reading this has the legitimate knowledge to do gears and welding, I'd be more then willing to pay you to help me too. I'd like to watch, so I can learn.


IT wouldn't happen to be Windels or something like that would it? Guy who owns that has a pretty nice Wrangler.

I don't know how I missed this. Don't mind heading up to you guys! Let me get everything in house and we can chat :-) I'll have the 8.8 sooner and the D44 later.
