And what ya doing to the 14 bolt? So many of those In my local JY... pile of them waiting to get melted down and it just makes me feel bad... lol

 

How much are they Travis? I sorta want one, depending on what kind they are.

I'd like to go to Chocco, but I don't know...

 

What do you mean by what kind are they? They have to be 10.5" FF or he wouldn't have even noticed it.

I am doing a full shave, my personal copy of the Ballistic shave, gears, disk brakes...I got pics on MGO

 

ya lol... im sure there are some but i didnt look that hard lol... ive never shopped 14 bolts anyway so i dont know what the FF's were in... i know some had 6 lugs and are hard to find... i think they were semi floats also though...

 

I meant what width, gears, brakes, that junk g80 LSD thing, all that.

 

they're probably wide, with low gears, mediocre brakes, and no G80.

just a guess though.

 

Well the 14b bible has a ton of info on all the specs of them. Width depending on vehicle, SRW, DRW, generations of them, drum, disc, open or G80'd. There is a sweet one in Macon on CL. 5.13's, locked, and something else maybe for $850

 

like i said ive never wanted one so i didnt pay that much attention to them... just know there are a lot...

 

got my front 60 welded up and installed the ring... went to get my pinion and fanish... its gone... when i bought the axle i got it cheap cause the guy twisted the pinion off... apparently when i took it out i left it in my green cherokee... which was scrapped... so now i gotta buy all the fancy washers and yoke... so freakin pissed right now ive given up on the gears... moving on to something else till i order and get all these parts in... sucks!

 

not sure if i wanna buy a 1350 since thats what i already have a shaft built for or if i want to go 1410 and find another shaft to build... lol...

 

I'd be happy with a D44/F9 and 37's

 

Yeah, but I want 40's and want to feel comfortable that something won't break. That 44 has to be polished to stand up to a big foot, so does a nice 9".

 

1350 is plenty in my opinion, heck I have been running 1310's forever, but I do run decent joints, going 1350 on the 14 bolt because that is what yoke was on it.

Hard to polish a 44 to stand up to 40's and a heavy foot, by the time you get it there you might a well dropped the coin on a 60, you can pick BJ 60's really reasonable like Travis is setting up. The 44/9 is a good set-up on 37's as long as you drop some chromo's and good joints in the front

 

ya i went to the JY to grab another yoke since they are all about the same... i have to go to summit to pick up two more washers i cant get anywhere else lol... the slinger or whatever and the baffle... the rest i will get when i pull off a yoke from a JY axle... luckily they are all pretty much the same...



The dana 44 uses the same 297 u joints a newer stronger dana 30 uses and folks break them all the time... unless you plan on dropping $1k on RCV's a dana 44 is worthless... even with CTM or whatever joints and chromos it shouldnt take much more to snap the ears off... you may as well just buy the dana 60 with the $1k... install is going to cost the same...

and i wouldnt build just any ball joint 60 like the 80's and 90'd models... mine are like the size of a coke can and the hub assemblies are huge now too... huge difference... i wish i had a 80's ball joint knuckle to compare lol...

 

Right. I was saying the 44/9 need some attention just for 37's, let alone 40's.

Got it hooked up!
