I may have some motorgrader cutting edges we can throw on there pretty soon.Quote:

Now you're going to make me self conscious Karl
is that a painted detroit?
It's a NASCAR take-off from Rouch Yates. Splines look good, and has both side springs/clutch locking mechanisms. and less than $150Quote:

So the 9 inch build has hit about every snag possible, I'm going to hold off until I can do gears front and rear. Also the trick to a 9 inch big bearing swap is to use front rotors from a 2001 Dodge 4x4, not the bronco front that Ruff Stuff and 90% of pirate suggests. The Dodge rotors slip over the wheel flange without modification.
I need $887.20 to complete this....
yeah 9 inches are cheap to build right. just a good nodular 3rd with gears, lockers and pinion support is over 1k
You're kidding, right? I'll have less than 1 k in my whole 9 inch. Most of that cost is TTB parts/ Summit wish listQuote:

Calipers (had them) Free!
Bearings $100
Gears $125
Ring gear bolts $15
Crush sleeve and shims $15
Pinion Guard $60
Total $925
Add $100 if decide to go with a Daytona pinion support (which I probably will)
Add $500-1000 when I go 35 spline, but when I do this I'll more than likely be putting everything in a $1500+ axle housing
Maybe I'll edit the first post and keep a running expense tab, I bet that could get interesting!
**** it my parts should be here by next week, DSO here I come!
**** this 9 inch
http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...o/IMAG1066.jpg
I wouldn't be so pissed if Ruff Stuff's directions weren't complete bull ****, but anyways I'll get it figured out before DSO :gigem:
Give me a shout when y'all go dso
have you looked in to explorer brakes with redrilled rotors? that weld on stuff is junk
explorer stuff won't fit with out a lot of machining to the rotor and axle flange to get everything to fit.
you got a plasma make it fit. On a full float the rotors press to the back of the axle flange that would make up the difference
For some reason they are hung up on not pressing the rotor onto the back side of the flange...
Because travis doesn't want to drill a hole in the rotor to be able to get to the axle retaining nuts. The explorer rotor is 6 1/2" ID inside the hat and the 9" axle flange is just over 7" OD. The rotor he has works fine, it's just fitting the caliper brackets that's a pain in the ass.
what about redrilled expedition rotors?
None of the expedition rotors have a deep enough hat to go back far enough to clear the bearing race housing anbd backing plate crap.
it shouldn't have to clear it, you'd be using the exped backing plate and parking brake
This must be the first time anyone has ever put disk brakes on a 9". Ever.
There is no ****ing problem here, I don't plan on keeping this 9 inch long and did not want to spend much time on this so I called ruff stuff and it seems they have never put disc brakes on a big bearing 9 inch. Because of this it is taking a little longer than expected.Quote:

Yes, the only thing that needed clearance was the bore of the register of the rotor...about 1/8". Yes big bearing (late model) 9".Quote:

Are you talking about at clearance at the register or clearance at the OD of the axle flange?
Sorry the latterQuote:

Sorry for continuing the derailment, just curious as I've seen a bunch of threads about the 8.8 disk conversion and hadn't seen anyone have this problem.
wait...were you looking at an explorer front rotor or a rear rotor?
Are the explorers not 5x5.5 maybe that was why I didn't get them, I went through too many to remember.Quote:
