there pass side drop though i thought?

 

great jeep

 

Thanks! getting there

 

after some research i learned that chevy had a 241 drivers side drop 32spline which the TH400 from the military blazers also ran the 32 spline... they were in 88-90 1/2 ton chevys... 88 to unknown 3/4 tone chevys and i think it was 92 to unknown 1 ton chevys with the TH400 tranny... so now im gonna be on the look out for one of these... will be much cheaper then a TH400 to 231 adapter... and the gearing in the 241 is much lower and from what ive read better then the 231 anyways... oh and its the IFS chevys...

 

Coming along.....sweet spool......what gears you gona run.....and by the way you will probably half to start up the Frankenstein 4x4 Forum cause yours is not gonna have much Cherokee left lol hahahaha ....keep up the good work

 

lol... i know it... im gonna run 4.88's... i read up on what the military blazers run with 37's... lol... but thats with the 208 transfer case they come with... not sure how the 2 are geared compared to each other... but i think 4.88's will be fine... my master tech when i worked at nissan will probly hook me up on installing them... good thing i kept in touch and on his good side... lol... the 9in is easy cause all the gears stay on the cover basically so i dont have to take a whole axle to him... can just stick it in the trunk and go... lol... ill try and talk him into swapping gear install work for my handyman business and do some repairs at his house and just swap labor... that would be great!! lol... found this in my mailbox this morning... boy is this stuff beef... never though it was this beef... im glad i got it and not the eBay elcheapo china setups

 

yes... thats a shot glass!!! looks tiny dont it!!!

 

shot glasses always look tiny... that's why we fill it again and again and again...

 

Very good point, and very true.

 

well yesterday i got my bastard pack stuck together and my rear axle lined up... boy was that fun... as for measurements i got alittle over 2in from frame to spring but the spring pack is beefy now and no sagging... so with weight on wheels im sure i got the amount of lift needed... if not i can add some more or whatever... i went with the XJ main leaf and S-10 main leaf down... as for welding on the perches it didnt go so well... lol... the shops like 100 yards from the house (buddies place) and we have to run cords all the way out there... i just wanted to tack them on and weld them fully when i got it back to my house... but even the tacks didnt hold up... lol... bumpin around in the back of my truck was all it took... but it left marks and i can line it back up... so itll be good to go... just gonna take some more time...

 

was also able to use the s-10 spring clamps still... if i have to add anymore then ill have to cut them off...

 

welded up my spring perches this morning... AND found a guy on GON.com which is a local GA website thats awesome... georgia outdoor news... hes got a brush guard with a warn9000 winch both for only $600... well the brushguard is a Warn also... so it aint cheap... ive got plenty of buddies wit F-250's and most are already interested... so i should be able to re-sell and make most of my money back... givin me a warn 9000 for around $300 or so... which is a hell of a deal...

 

thats awesome! Build and axles and everything is looking great!

 

thanks... gettin there... i was gonna use this extra money to buy my disc brakes, gears, and install kit but to get warn 9000 for around $300 id be dumb not to do this first... lol...

 

oh and also fella just called and wants my jeeps tranny and transfercase and hes coming to get it Sat... so i gotta pull it like yesterday... lol... thats $400 to play with... maybe use it to finish my rear axle... or to put towards the diesel... we will see... i dunno... guess it would be better to get that motor in my hands... since without a tranny... what goods a axle... lol...
