I have a dana 30 that is partially built, partially because it does not have any axle shafts or outer seals. Otherwise it is complete.
Specs:
late model TJ dana 30, low pinion
4.88 gears
Auburn ECTED Locker, have complete new condition harness and switch gear
heavy duty diff cover
Currie Adj...
Ok so i finally get the axles i wanted and a sudden shift in finances has forced me to sell this stuff. Sucks. i am linking to my CL ad for pictures, but here is the deal:
Rear Dana 60, custom narrowed to TJ width, uses TJ drums, alloy shafts, detroit locker and brand new 4.88 gears and...
I went all through this last year before i got a top for my jeep. I ended up getting a mint condition factory top. A big difference between the factory and other brands is the use of door surrounds. Personally i like the factory door surrounds. If you dont mind little bars where the windows...
If i go with an axle from ecgs and dont have the sye yet they sort of weld the brackets in the midpoint between not having a sye and having a sye. but when you have a stock rear and do a sye, then what, do you just adjust the angle with the adjustable uppers? i do plan to get an sye at some...
and i just want to make it clear, i am not knocking any kind of jeep. i loved my yj, i thought it was a great little wheeler, and yes i do like the square headlights. Just for me, right now, i prefer my tj. and i would probably have a jk if i could afford one...lol. in the end, all jeeps are...
I have owned both a yj and tj that were similary built. the YJ had a rubicon express extreme duty 4.5 lift on 33" goodyear mtr's anf the Tj had a 4" rough countryl lift and had 33" procomp mt's when i got it. The yj is a much simpler vehicle and for just wheeling, i would choose it. but if...
I remember reading your build up a while back and fro that my original plan was to run the 8.8 i bought and keep the stock gears since they match my jeep. but then i got the 35's, and well the 3.55's arent cutting it...lol. in terms of a direct cost comparison:
an 8.8 to my door from ecgs...
will a dana 30 from a 1999 WJ grand cherokee bolt into a 97 tj? what mods would be needed? the brakes are different i think, what about the steering setup?
thanks for the info, id rather buy a detroit locker than have a new case and lunchbox locker.
well the guy is asking 900. the axle has 50k on it but has been sitting for a while. it was for sale a while ago, but the seller had decided to keep it or something along those lines. at that time i...
I cam across a good deal on a stock TJ D44 from an 05. it has 3.73 gears and the Trac loc and disk brakes. When i eventually go to regear the axle to 4.88's, will i need to replace the carrier? The reason i am asking, i am considering just getting a powertrax locker in it for now until i can...
I didn't bench bleed the master, I probably should have done that since the system did run dry. I also don't know how to...lol. I guess I skipped it since I have done similar things on several different vehicles and never had to touch the master. I also thought that if there was air still...
And I don't see any leaks at any if the new fittings. The classic tube stuff was top notch. Also, the pedal stays the same, meaning it does not "pump up" and get firmer. I did replace one caliper as well, but that shouldn't make a difference.
