axle swap on my 01
 

so my rear 8.25 has been acting funny after the last time i wheeled it for about 2 months now i'd get an akward pop here and then when i backed up or made uturns so i started saving just in case it took a crap. about last week all hell broke loose and my jeep was barely drivable so i went ahead and tried to drive over and drop it off at my work. my luck pulled onto the main road and both shafts broke free inside:cry:.

so got to work this morning and got her all torn down axle and everything went pretty smoothly easier than i had planned. only pain was the ebrake cables having to take apart the entire drum kinda ticked me off. thinking about doing a disc brake conversion pretty soon. opened her up and it wasnt looking pretty. i probably should have been driving on it like this haha but o well. thought i had a dana 44 pinned down at a salvage yard. called them back today and they told me it was a grand cherokee 44 with the aluminum housing :001_unsure: dont want that so i settled for another 8.25.

bastard pack is still holding up i did with s10 leaves:laughing:

and how shes sitting now until the new axle comes in tmrw
