I will!

 

Anyone plasti-dip their whole xj? Thinking of redoing the white on mine

 

Morning fellow Jersey-ites.....looks like I got the perfect day for swapping out the rear in my truck.

 

What are you swapping to?

 

I'm taking out the blown up 9 1/4 and replacing it with one I got out of a 03 dakota...still 9 1/4. My 01 Dakota is slowly falling apart, but I need to keep it going for a few more years.


30 years in the business and I still don't have a lift in my garage. As a mater of fact I do most of my repairs in front of the garage......couldn't get a car in there if I wanted to......LOL

 

May have found a good deal on a TJ D44 and the seller is willing to weld perches on. Includes a d30 hp housing with knuckles and gears. Anything I should look out for?

 

you'll have to weld shock mounts on too (they are different). Brake lines may need to be re-routed also. Same gear ratio as you have now?

 

Different ratio. I have 3.55 and they are 3.73. I may buy it and let it sit until I can buy 4.88s for it. I already have 4.88s for my d30hp d35 but ill sell the rear set if anyone is interested

 

IMO it's not worth it then - too much work for not a lot of strength gain. May as well do all of the same work on an 8.8.

 

Sounds good. Anyone selling an 8.8? Lol

 

anyone going to wharton today? my buddy bailed on us and we wanna go wheelin but not alone.

 

I finally have some money saved for the gear install. I have the install kits and r&p, but need someone to install them. Any recommended places in south jersey? Or anyone on here have the tools and experience? I just want my power back

 

Did you ever try and call the guys that are out in Vineland, unworthy4x4? They have a nice shop and do some nice work

 

I called them. Their price was $650 for the labor. I was hoping to spend less than $400 on labor
