So I have actually tried this before and never kept up with it! But, I would really like to document this process and hope to keep up with it. The base is a 1998 Jeep ZJ 5.9 Limited. This is my third ZJ. I had a 1996 Limited with the 5.2 and another 1998 5.9. The previous owner of this jeep...

My 60 came with 30 spline yukons and a spool, I upgraded to 35 spline yukons and an ox locker. This compares the 2 sets plus the 2nd one shows the spindle bore process for anyone left thats still running a 60 rear :laugh2:

Hello everyone, first post here (I have a '93 Bronco that I have posted about on BroncoZone). My son has been playing bumper cars with my 2000 XJ. The last event involved a jumped curb that punched a 3" hole in the tire, damaged the aluminum rim and the lower swing arm mount on the right side...

Quick back story- I broke a bolt in the yoke, I went to my neighbors house to use his air tools. Pulled the yoke out and sudden urgency a day or so later and I had to move the jeep. Pinion fell back and the bearing locked it up, couldn't rotate it enough to get to the bolt that holds in the...

I am currently sitting with a seized rear axle on my 1997 Wrangler Sahara, and am in the process of finding a donor axle. I currently have a Dana 35, 3.07 gear ratio; is it possible to swap that out for a Dana 35, 3.73 gear ratio from a YJ model? Or just in general a Dana 35 from a YJ? Thanks in...

New bee here so please bear with me. I am helping my son (16) build his first jeep YJ complete frame off build. We just can't seem to get the breaks. I had swaped the axles for a set out a 1992 YJ so we could get the 4.10 gears. Since all the parts including the backing plates etc were in much...

Hey Guys, So I just picked up a 98 ZJ Quadra-Trac to replace my 96 that had Selec-Trac. My axle question is can I basically plug and play U joint axle shafts as a direct replacement to the CV's that came with the Jeep? And hints/tips/thoughts from anyone that has tried or done a similar...

So I picked up a junkyard 8.8 and getting it ready to put into my TJ. I was feeling pretty optimistic about it before, however I gave a ring to a great offroad shop in my area and asked how much it would cost to weld the truss and brackets on and they went on to say how it is going to be a very...

I am shopping for 44 front and rear- would like to do E-Lockers. I'm clear on gear ratios, but while I have been shopping, I have come across kits that include/exclude disc brakes. http://www.4wheelparts.com/eSearch.aspx?N=1z13xqg&Ntk=primary&Ntt=dana+44+rear+axle+assembly Do disc brakes need...

I am stepping up to D44's or something to that affect. The problem is I don't know what to get! I have done a bit of research and not really found too much regarding my concerns. Those being: 1)How well the differential holds up in general. (I plan on swapping out ring and pinion so the...

So I found a set of axles out of an 82 Chevy K10, and i'm wondering what all i'm about to be getting into. What all tools and know how will I need to have before I start out. The axles are going into an 85 CJ7. :thankyou:

Ive been thinking of building a Ford 9" rear end, with a D44 up front. Has anyone had any experience or luck with a junk yard 9"? is it worth finding one in a junk yard money wise? I would assume mostly just the housing would be the only usable part, just looking for some input, thanks

I am preparing to do a front axle swap on my 1999 Cherokee Sport. The axle is a Dana 30 High Pinion and I plan to replace it with the exact same thing. I just recently bought one off the guy who built my Jeep (rebuilder). He is no longer building Jeeps, just selling off his parts, so now I have...

Alright, So I am now looking into swapping out my axles in my 95 YJ. I have done a lot of research on this but i have a few unanswered questions. First, I want to do the popular swap for the rear and put in a Ford 8.8 with a 4.10 Gears Ratio. I have 32's on my YJ now and may upgrade to 33's...

So, I wanna run 35's on my stock 2000 TJ, 5 speed. Yes I know it has to be lifted, next paragraph. I was told to re-gear my TJ, also I should swap out axles, get rid of the D30 & D35. Because I'm throwing $$$ away on gearing the 30 &35. SoDana 44's are what I need. Will just any D44 axle work...

I've got an interest in swapping out my original 1/2 ton axles on my 1991 Grand Wagoneer for a set of 3/4 ton J20 axles. Not being a gear head; I wasn't sure of the validity of the idea. I definitely want the lower gear ratio, higher towing capacity, and the increased strength; but I haven't...

will a dana 30 and amc 20 from a 79 cj5 swap into a 81 cj5? I currently have 2.73's and the others are 3.54's, also have 2-3" lift springs attached. guy wants 200 for them. Can i swap these straight into mine without any mods other than new shocks? Both are narrow track, I figure this would...

Good Evening, First I must apologize because I am new to jeeps. Second: I just picked up a wrecked 05 Wrangler LJ Rubicon that possibly has a bent D44 front axle. I'll know more this weekend. Just quickly looking at the impact it's a pretty good guess that it's bent busted or otherwise. So i've...

Im looking to do an axle swap front and rear D 60's or a nice set of D44's. They are going in a 89 XJ Thanks Tim:D
