Jeeps pissing me off... 430 to 830 to under the control arms and install the new axle... U believe that ****... Every little frickin thing was kickin my ***... Now somewhere between the disco 30 I pulled from the JY and my 90 they changed frickin knuckles because the brake pads and calipers are different... So since I had ball joints anyways I decided im gonna swap knuckles... Free and there will be no confusion on brakes in the future... Frickin sucks though... Way more work... and I dont have a balljoint press or the axle nut socket so all this money later and im out and looks like the wk2 is going...
And got my wheels and tires here... Buddy said him and his vendor thought the tires were ugly when I ordered them... I told them there stupid and wait till there on a truck... He sat them in his shop since tue and already sold another set... Lol... Told him how can he make a livin if he keeps sell bfg at's... Lol... Venture out... Lol

Damn 8.8 was easier to install then a stock dana 30... Its in and sitting on the new tires... Went to put one on and found a giant gash in fhe sidewall... Called my buddy and hes gonna pick it up from the house monday and shod have me another one tue or wed he said... Hes also gonna try and keep this one... Be a good spare...
8.8 isnt finished though... Brakes, shocks, driveshaft all still gotta go on... But its bolted and welded up...
These pics are with stock wheels... 8.8 (narrower then a d35 or 44) 12.50 tires... And 2in spacers... Stuck me back at about stock look... I also used the hole on the spring perch to move me forward so the drive shaft has more bite... If this doesnt work then ill go back to middle... Install my HnT transfercase and build a driveshaft... If it does then im leaving it alone... Woot woot!
