Did you check the vendors on tx4x4, a couple of them offer a discount over there. I forget which ones. My vote is on ruffstuff or DIY also.
There is alot of variables in rear disks fitting inside a 15" wheel such as backspacing and wheel thickness. With "normal" backspaced steel wheels they will *probably* fit though. Does the bootyfabbed axle you are getting even have the backing plate flanges? I doubt it, which means weld on brackets are neccesary. Flem was commenting on them being janky and flexing but there are plenty of people out there running em and as long as **** doesnt get warped welding them on, I dont see how weld on brackets are any different than bolt on ones strength-wise.
heres a picture. . .
I ordered these earlier today. . . http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/...et_p_1596.html
Don't they just bolt to that 4 bolt flange or am I retarded?
is the 60 and 9 inch flange the same size??Quote:

from my understanding those are d-60 flanges on the 9" housing. The axle i'm buying is cheaper and I need something in a week otherwise I would have just built mine from scratch. That ballistic one is badass but I wonder how long you would have to wait for it.
WTF are you trying to show in that picture? Is it a semifloating 60 or something? Looks like it has 8 lugs?
its a fullfloating 9" and yes it does have 8 lugs. I has asking if the flange is where the break caliper bracket mounts with those 4 holes. I'm 99% sure they do, but i got confused about what sharpe was talking about.
looks like your buying an abortion. why are there 8 studs?
what do you mean why are there 8 studs? its 8 on 6.5
so are you going 8 lug on the front also?
not for now, I could change to an 8 lug 44 but not this summer. Just going to run to different patterns for now.

edit: to be more specific how is it full floating? Is only the hub on the spindle?
So why did this guy not put brakes on it in the first place? By the looks of the picture he's been wheeling it without brakes? It sounds like that axle has some good parts, but it's not going to do you any good if this guy isn't running brakes because the spindle is welded on crooked. I'd examine it thoroughly before you hand over the dough.
I think this is what you're looking at.Quote:

Put the ends back in the lathe and turned them down to press fit them inside the 9" housing. Then did the carrier bearing pucks and rod jig to ensure everthing was straight before putting it on a rotoweld to weld it up.
sounds like he did everything right, but you are correct I will definently be taking a very close look at it.
they bolt to the spindle flange, correct?
edit: Travis just asked, "so where do the brakes go?" and then you permanently deleted it
who are you talking to?Quote:

heres his post if your interested, "I have a hp dana 44 front axle that has been cut down to early bronco width with yukon shafts, 4.88 gears, detriot lunch box locker, Flat top knuckles, and hi steer."

Ryan: I think this is an abortion of an axle, but should work out pretty good if done right. I'm sure you can clean up this thread:flipoff2:
and i think your an asshole who doesnt know what full floating means:flipoff2:Quote:

didn't know what a full floating 9in was.... guess I should really web wheel more
Any reason I shouldn't use these as exhaust studs?

the red air compressors in the raffle at TCC. where and how much?
Rock Lights: What's everyone using? El Cheapo from wallyworld, or some namebrand?
I have a couple of sets waiting to be installed, but just wanted some opinions while I am shopping for some other parts.
I put the small cheap ones from O'Rielly on Lyndas. They are the ones that are like 3/4" tall x 3 in wide or so. The smaller the better to keep them out of the rocks.
The Patrol has the slightly bigger fog lights and I have a hard time keeping them from breaking on on thing or another.
I have got some Northern Tool Tractor Spot Lights I use on the Ass of the Taco, it gets the job done but if I were to do it over...Quote:

Yeah sure they have a microphone and a remote, but there are 8 3 LED Pods that are Water Proof and tiny. They also come with all of the wiring to make it very simple to install. Here is a vid on youtube I found to show how they can dance for you Ed. :flipoff2:

The problem I'm having is that when i put the chevy k20 front rotors on the hub of the d-60 and then go to seat the hub on the spindle the rotor is hitting the brake caliper bracket before it seats.
I found out this is because the d-60 I have is from an early 80s e-250 van and the caliper brackets are for a 72-79 ford 60.
Does anyone have any ideas, different rotors? different brackets?
I think weld on brackets would be your best bet. Get everything mounted up then weld the bracket where you need it.
Is the rotor on the wheel side or the axle side of the hub?
the rotor is on the axle side, I cut the bolt on brackets in half and matted them back together on the back of the axle flange. I think it may work.
You can't move the rotor to the wheel side?
