Well toda my new 703's came in. And i juped right into installing them. Well they went in just as the old ones came out. And i took that chance to clean up the ports as well. So after i got them in i took the jeep out for a test drive, and in all honestly they improved my throttle responce and low end torque. We will have to wait to see if it effects my gas millage at all.

My I phone app wont let me up load my one and only picture i took of the new ones, so heres a pic of the old ones

Well everyone i bit the bullet and jacked the jeep up, drained the dif fluid and welded up the gears. I welded all 4 gears to each other and the housing. I tacked everything up strong with some large tacks. Then pulled out the axles to prevent any possable de-tempering by heatin them up. Then i worked my way through 14 sticks of 6011. Welding the gears to the carrier and filling in the teath. Then i rotated and repeated the same process on the other side. I even filled in the little notch in the carrie where u could see two of the gears meshing. Then let the whole thing cool. Cleaned out all the slag, and bits of metal. And put the axles back and took her out to a parking lot to she how she handled. Granted it was raining, and was wet out, it really doesnt effect the handling all that much once u find how to drive it right. Always a little gas in a corner slow turn at first then turn thr rest of the way once ur in it. To be honest i would feel free saying to anyone with putting the whole braking an axle aside, i wouldnt disadvice against welding up their gears.

busted-knuckles

Ya i still got it. Ill call u up and meet up with u sometime. Ao u can check out the bumper.

The Blacksmith

Yeah man. I advidly promote welded rears, good choice.

I have a 29 spline 8.25 and can burn both mudders on dry pavement without any issues, so strength isnt going to be an issue for you, I'd Assume.

busted-knuckles

Thx black smith. My jeeps is only a 27 splin 8.25, but i am a rater light on the skinny pedel wheeler. So im not too worryed. I want to find a spare axle shaft to carry with me tho. Hahaha u never know what might happen.

The Blacksmith

yea the 27 splines are a dime a dozen, im sure ill be buying another parts jeep for spare rear parts for mine lol

whidbeyislandxj

if u need any parts I got a 93 sport parts jeep, its black and grey interior, its full of jeep junk, ran when I parked it but I have stole some parts off of it. its got all the running gear except the rear driveline, Im thinkin about swappin the axles cause I got ****ty 3.07 gears and its got 3.55s but besides that its fair game, just let me know and we can pull **** off if its still there.

busted-knuckles

Dude that would be sick! I have a pretty big list of **** i need to get, would be awesome man if u would let me rob some parts! Ill cut ya a pretty good deal on a bumper if ya do.

more details on how you did this?? ive been wanting to add both of those and that looks like a great spot for them.

Well i havr some of this stuff that is about 1 inch wide and is velcro on both sides, and u cut to the length u need. So i tppk and raped the light an fire ex. So i knew how much then cut it. Then i took and for the flashlight i held it where i wanted it, marked. Then put a self taper through the velcro and into the metal brace for the back seat. Same for the fire ex. But u used two self tappers thro the velcro about 1 inch apart (vertical) because it was really flopy with just one. Hope this helps u out. I love it where they are because i can reach both from the seat, and if i give either a good swift yank there in my hand.

Good luck to anyone who plans to try this.

Well my spring spacers for the front came in saturday. And hopfuly i can get them in later today. Should level the jeep back out after adding the front bumper. (front dropped about 1 1/2"). So i ordered a set of 1 3/4". I have never put in spacers, anyone have any tips to make it easyer?

Any tips would be cool, thx.
