So i got the 8.8 in finally do not have any pictures yet as they are on my phone and im on a computer and i cannot believe how much better it is with the 4.10 gears and limited slip and the disk brakes. such a change just gotta figure out the front since it still has 3.55s so i only have 2wd becuase i pulled the driveshaft out

Regear Finally
Mocking it up and putting tacks on it
Once the tacks were on before i pulled it back out
Mocking up the brake lines and and finished the welds in the brakets
All done and it
Gears and carrier for the front
So it’s finally that time to put the gears in which I have been putting off but I need 4wd back because the snow is coming I got 4.10 motive gears and a Yukon open carrier along wit the motive install kit with Timken bearings also got a extra set of carrier bearing to make set up bearings for it. Over all the 4.10s and the 33s are perfect for what I want which is good on the highway and more power along with all that the fuel mileage increased too

Got the rear axle wedged on some rocks and needed a pull back a few inches
haven’t posted on here in like 6 months so I figured I would do an update
basically the entirely same set up other than some 33 mtrs now and new wheels but the jeep is exactly how I want it for now
