Are those body lift blocks?

 

New plan is to dump the 8.25 and swap a D44. Should be easy enough for me to do my self

 

Got my Dana 44 tonight. Now gotta rebuild it. Total overhaul, 4.88 gears locker, alloy shafts. Maybe even disc brakes

 

Nice! was cool to meet you today! Seams like your Jeep is set up well!

 

it was awesome out there man, im glad i got to make it.


so here's the D44 a couple minutes after buying it. spent two hours today already just scraping all the crap off and i still have a bunch more. popped off the cover though and everything looked good, except for the pinion seal. no bigggggy

 

Thinkin about goin with a spartan locker. Heard a lot of good and the price is good too. I'm hoping I have the axle on before summer

 

got some hockey pucks for bump stops, and spent about an hour cleaning the dana 44 with a wire wheel. took the jeep out to show my brother what it can do.

 

i'll probably paint it up next weekend. mmmmhhhmmmm

 

started my durango gear box swap today. got it tore out and the new c-rok brace put in place, maybe i'll get close to finished tomorrow night. gotta get it ready for some easter wheelin this weekend

 

got my durango box put in tonight. it felt good, i couldn't fit the top bolt into the bumper bracket but oh well haha, i'll figure something out to get it in. so far i'm liking it. i didn't notice a difference on my test drive. but there is no more slack in the steering and everything is tight, it might need an alignment, i might of touched the tre's in a bad way i guess ha. and i replaced the high pressure line since i was already at it, cuz i'm like that. up next, motor mount and a couple spacers to put on my hood hinges, we'll see if i like them or not, see if the hood doesn't close normal haha but maybe it'll help with cooling

 

looking good!!

 

Nice, looks good man! Hitting this thing pretty hard, getting a lot done!

I don't have the C-rock kit but I had to drill that bolt hole out bigger on the plate for mine...

Whats going on with the D44?

 

not a **** thing haha. if i ever sell my dirt bike i'll do something with it... thats where the money is coming from to do gears and locker.

 

noticed when i was in 4lo and stepped on the gas it made a repetitive smashing sound that i could feel also. i checked and sure enough the driver side motor mount crapped itself, as shown in the picture lol

 

once i get the d44 put in and the front axle regeared i think it'll be moab ready. if i can just get my dirt bike sold i'll have the money haha
