Holy ****!!!! Jumping that beast! I like that you say you'd never do it, then you do it, then you say you'll never do it again Hahahaha.

Rad pickup on the 60. Factory lock out hubs? Are these axles going on your jeep or your buggy?

Mid-to-late 80's F350 SRW. I couldn't believe I got him to go down to $520 haha. And delivered to my parents house where I'm at right now.

I have a lp d30 from a 2000 with 3.55s I don't need either you can also come take. If you want one of them come pull it and take it home
Oh ok sorry. I've sold so much stuff to people on both the forum and local I get all mixed up. Should have picked up on the 716 in your name haha. I would only need the hp30, it'll be stripped bare of all OEM brackets anyway. I like that it's straight haha. You don't want any $? Need anything for your jeep? I have a ton of OEM stuff floating around.

I know. I regret not trussing, but even then there's no guarantee. I mean it's a heavy jeep as far as jeeps go with all the armor and bumpers. But I was there, the hill was there, I made it happen haha. I'll do it again just not with this jeep. I want to keep it dd'ing it so I'll fix the axle and I'll still wheel it had just not jump it.

Yup factory lock outs, but I'll prob get rid of them. They'll be going on my Chero buggy that's starting to get going haha.

Yeah I guess there is no sense in having lock outs on a trail only vehicle. They'd also probably be the weak link if I have to guess. I wish there were cheaper options for locking hubs for a HP30. Or even a 44. Like yours, my rig should see plenty of highway miles.

I'm not asking for any cash no lol. I have stiffs I have a 2000 in my driveway I need to get working on and the hp30 is under the coils and bilstiens I need for it so your already helping me out pulling it haha. I might need some oem stuff not to sure yet though. We'll have to get together and talk. Either case it's Yours if you want it dude I won't need it.

So I've been slowly acquiring parts do my 1ton XJ buggy build, and just recently found the XJ I'll be using as the blank canvas for this masterpiece. I didn't even notice when looking it over, but it has a weird switch bezel I have never seen in my life, not on forums, not in pictures, no where:
Attachment 286945

It's a single switch bezel and only has a provision for the rear wiper.

A little about the XJ:

98 Classic
220k miles
Two-tone interior (gray with agate accents)
2wd

I've never seen a jeep like it. And I've never seen a single switch bezel before. The rear window doesn't have defrost so it makes sense, but I've seen the 4 switch bezels before and those are rare as can be. Is this just as rare? Anyone know anything about it haha?

This is my blank canvas:

Body is in EXCELLENT condition, I couldn't believe how good it was; it's better than my 85k mi dd XJ I just got done building, and that one was clean!)

Guy was asking $1500, but because it was a half finished 4x4 conversion I talked him down to $780 haha!

Got my front mid-80's F350 king pin d60 PLUS matching rear sterling 10.25 for $520 DELIVERED (I'm a master negotiator haha). I already have the 14b in going to use in the rear so I'll sell the sterling and have my d60 for a couple hundred haha:
