I'd go 4.88 and 4:1. I don't know why though. Seems like half the reason for the 231-300 is so you can maintain decent 2hi ratios and don't have to have stupid low gears in the axles

he may say 37's now but in a few months he will be to 40's
schweet. :D
is it going to be built-up again in time for clayton?
sure if you want to fund it, hell you fund it and I will drive it to clayton
Plans:
BMF dana 60 rear stretched to 100" WB
1st white line original axle centerline, 2nd white line new axle centerline
Triangulated 4 link using what is left of short arms
what white lines you talkin bout willis???
look at the frame under the rear wheel well
I love how you have it all ass backwards. 60's go in the front, 9"s go in the rear :flipoff2:
'I see' said the blind man...
I was lookin for 'Paint' lines. :D
True in most cases but this is a special jeep that will be the resurrection of "flemmed" out partsQuote:

Looks good. You going to back half the frame to get rid of the dip behind the original axle centerline?
Something I was just thinking...
Dang...this thing has been wheeled hard and put away wet! :laughing:

yes, and the "autoset" functions with the pulse work great. We would weld 16ga sheet metal with .045 solid wire
yup I figured it would work good with a little thicker sheetmetal I was workin with 20ga and .045 wire, I have small wire in the little welder so I just went back to it for a little while.
anyone wanna set up some dana 60 gears for me
I could probably weld them in place if that helps any, but I am guessing not. :D
I got some more work done and picked up material yesterday.

I have an extra set of H1's and aTm rock rings when you are ready for them. ;)
Whats that going to put your wb at?
looks like it will be at 101-103
ought to do real good at that distance, you find somebody to help you set up your gears?
no not yet, I got a quote so I am just going to buy the tools and do them myself
Get your gears set up by Jamie Peal @ Pro Muffler & Performance in Corpus.

They do good work I assume?
I am also going to need some creative exhaust work done as well
Paul is a really good friend of mine that essentially built my Jeep the way it was before I took everything apart. Jamie is an awesome tech, probably the best mechanic you'll find in South Texas. Their exhaust guys are really good as well, and are used to figuring out exhaust for offroad rigs. Paul bought TexasBlake's YJ last year and has wheeled Samurai's for a long time, Jamie is a Dodge guy. He installed a 12V Cummins in his mid-80's Dodge on 40's when I was living down there and it ended up cleaner than the motor looked in the truck it came out of. Really good guys if you go there and bs with them. Tell them I referred you, I haven't talked to them much lately but they're good people.
lookin good!
ditto!
