well i know i have been talking a lot of junk lately about going to full width axles and its finally happening. Im doing this transformation on a separate thread than my regular build just to make it easier and less cluttered.

So this is where im at right now...

got everything ripped out from under blue and sold. Both axles are gone as well as all of the suspension. I traded someone my 4.5 RE springs for some 7" claytons and im building my own long arms. They are going to be basically like claytons arms just home-made. well to make this less boring, here are some pics....

axles are a hp d44 front and full floating d60 rear. both have 3" OD tubes


last pic before the breakdown


nothing under her


old axles

then i found some tires. ended up finding these guys on craigslist so i made the drive to pic them up...37x12.50s didnt quite fit in the dub so one had to go on the roof. talk about a hernia!


i paid 400 for the set then i had to buy the rims new.

found a 231 at the pull a part just sitting on the grand so i had to get it. I figured this is a stronger case than my 242, a lot more aftermarket for it and come to find out the bearing around the input shaft on my 242 was thrashed when i pulled it off. lucky it still worked!

my old 242 dissembled for the input shaft


and my new 231 in pieces waiting my AA SYE.


i was kind of at a stand still last weekend awaiting parts to arrive so i cleaned up the front axle to accept the new brackets. its not fun cutting off axle brackets in 110* weather. lol

all of my parts came in this week so i will definitely stay busy this weekend on it. Here is a little teaser... lol

Nice man. So far I have loved my SSR's, I got my set of 35 12.5 16's for $400 also, 2 with almost brand new tread 2 with like %60. The fronts ride like glass but hte rears are way unbalanced. Whatever, they do well in the rocks. Mine weigh in at like 95lbs per tire, I don't want to know what the 37" variety weighs lol
