The plan:
YJ tub and Frame with CJ grill and hood.
Vortec 5.3 / SM465 / Atlas?
leaf spring all around
Ford 9 rear, 35 spline
Ford 9 front, 35 spline (this depends on time and money)
40" tires, H2 wheels

you wouldn't like 40" tires. if i were you i would go smaller. :flipoff2:
there is always a reason some things are in a junkyard!
wtf? Is that one you guys got?
no. it was on pirate.
that would cause a small miss
what a mess.
Teardown is complete. Now it's time to cut and grind all the crap off the frame and to scrap / blast all the glue (they glued the carpet on) off the body...
Just out of curiosity how did yall lift the tub off the frame?
probably two people lift it... they are pretty light are they not
I did it myself with an engine hoistQuote:

Because that would be too logical, and girls don't think that way. :flipoff2:
Because we can sell it for about $4000 and we won't be using ANYTHING on it and we wouldn't be able to sell any of it parts if we did take it apart. The body has too many dents too.Quote:

Plus - the one I bought came with spare front axle parts, I can replace her broken shaft now. I also have a D35C shaft to sell. The body is in better shape also...
Make since yet???
yes
did i miss something? Who's CJ is in the driveway?
his but he is selling it, cause he doesnt want to rebuild that one.
thats a nice looking garage and driveway that youve got there
Do the yj roll bars mount the same as cj including the window frame bars cause i need a better roll bar for my cj. i know the cj didnt come with window bars but thats what a drill is for.
just build one
If you want it, you can have it.Quote:

damnit scott you better not beat me on this build
He will... As will I with my CJ.
Scott is going to smoke everyone. He'll have all of the odds and ends wrapped before my floor is even done. Pisses me off! :D Scott, it looks like 1101 again. Luckily you have a deep driveway.
Dont worry you can always beat krebs and his buggy project. :gigem:Quote:

i like how it is drilled to clock it however you wish
Cody and I shaved the D60 today. Didn't want to turn down the ring gear - ended up with 1" more clearance. The ring gear is about 1/16" from the bottom.
looks awesome
Very Badass, I'm jealous.
how is the cover going to seal?
is that the new fangled process for those metal impregnated bearings?
I want a diff shaving machine too!
probably a way to keep the housing straight ;)Quote:

what do ya'll think about this?
http://www.truehi9.com/index.html
I have a bunch of stuff to order:
Ford 9 chunk - 35 spline, detroit, alum. housing, 1480 yoke
8 lug 4340 shafts for the Ford 9 - with bearings
disc brake set-up for the Ford 9.
35 spline 4340 shafts for the front
new knuckles for the front
kingpin rebuild for the front
u-joints for the front or Bobby Long D60 CV joints:
http://www.longfieldsuperaxles.com/
he also has some nice u-joints that might be worth it over the CTM joints.
locking hubs
still need some Chevy outers.
Where should I get all this stuff? I only want to build these axles ONCE. I want to buy the best stuff, install it, and never have to think about them again (except for grease). Any suggestions?
stick with your roots man, bobby's 60 birfs.
looks like a lot of the comp rig buidups lately are running the truehi9, if that means anything
