Hey guys, So I recently posted a thread about a loud whining in the rear well turns out it was the pinion bearing ( actually the bearings were laying in the bottom of the differential haha ) so after weighing the options I decided to swap the whole rear end. I had 3.07 gearing so I talk to the guy at the junkyard they had the rear end for 187 bucks drum to drum a deal right!!! Well I get there and half of the brakes wear gone and no drums so I pissed now ya know. Well I look down and it had 4.10 stamped on it and the guy trys to jew me up to 600 and after negotiating I got it for the original price heres some pics of the install it took us about 3 hours for the whole thing. Enjoy!!!!

cool man! it all looked good till that last pic!! why oh why run lift blocks??? i guess i mean no disrespect... take it as ya will...

Nitsujeep

it was a budget boost what do u recommend?

a) did you swap out the front too?
b) did you verify that it actually DOES have 4.10s. i wouldnt just go off of a stamp
c) this isnt tech...moved to chat

didnt swap the front yet I just really needed the rear end and i figured while i had it out might as well swap gearing too, yes i counted teeth

instead of lift block, get a drop shackle!

good call! this is what i call being methodical and it never fails!! well played, sir.

thanks guys this is my first 4x4 and im trying to do the best i can, ive always heard that shackles are bad to do.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Don't use 4wd til you swap the front. HP 30 out of a 4 cyl should have 4.10s I believe. If you must go super cheap I'd do a shackle instead of block but I'd save up for lift springs.
