I must say I do love the Ford 8.8 because it has no carrier break and 31 spline shafts but I must agree my 8.25 has never given me a single ounce of trouble!

 

You'd be my hero. I think I'll keep the 3.55s a while then tackle a gear swap.

 

if I get time today I'll clean up the 8.8 get ready for the truss and brackets, then I'm going to take it to Christiansburg have the gears done by a guy out there for cheep and hopefully I'll be installing the axle there, and when I get home 825 is all yours for slightly more than scrap, let's say $25? my only condition is it you come pick it up

 

I'm alright with that. I've got room in the Jeep i can come pick it up tonight or tomorrow.

 

When I get my 8.8 installed*
don't worry as soon as I get it installed everyone on the fourm will know lol

 

Should've figured that. I know you're dying to get your new axle under the heep. I'll get a notification on my phone when it happens. Haha. I'm just excited to get an axle to tear apart and rebuild.

 

I left you a VM lol

 

Everyone and their grandmother will know haha

 

I'd let everybody and their grandmother know if i put a new light bulb in my Jeep. Haha. Jon, did you do the disc conversion on that axle? And i sent you a text in response to the vm.

 

Dsmiller, are we still good to go for Wednesday?

 

Ohhhhh Yeaaaa

 

Music to my ears. Just realigned the Jeep to hopefully straighten my stubborn steering wheel. I'm ready to wheel. Its been weeks.

 

Smart man, I guess that as a courtesy to you, I should once over my turd before we head out. I'll get out the pliers and flat heads this afternoon...

 

You bring it by the shop today I'll knock it out for you. Merchant's on main street in Salem. I work till 8.

 

No carrier break on the 8.25 either. Here is the one in the trail rig; 29 spline Yukon shafts, RuffStuff truss, RuffStuff cover tied into the truss, Crush sleeve eliminator, Titanium u-joint straps, Aussie Locker, cryoed Nitro 4.88 gears, shaved diff housing, raised shock mounts. All work done by me including gear set up(I do all my own gears)

Its been in the Jeep for 3 years
