    yah i think so too. If it was the entire axle, i would still have the problem of it being too wide.

    These are the parts I was thinking. They might not be as high quality as moser but there still a d*ck load strong.

    Sometimes I really don't follow your train of thought. So that one on pirate is a good deal or not? What does a chunk have to do with axle width?







    I said chunk just for you Fred...it just takes less work to type

    No, not a good deal for just the third. If it was the entire axle it would be a good deal, but not for me sense it hasn't been narrowed.

    you are forgetting that with that nine case, you need to get a pinion support too,
    unless you are going to use a stock pinion support (dumb if you are going to spend the money on a N case)

    make sure the bearings you order are for 3.25 carrier bearings, also I would get a preload spacer and shims instead of the crush sleave.

    You might check out this case

    I thought Superior was one of those "take a chance" brands?

    Looking at my axle today...not sure if I should be concerned about this. Looks like with the rust the ubolts rubbed a small groove in the housing. It's not terribly deep, but once the housing is narrowed it will only be about 3 inches from the housing end and may see a bit more stress than it was. What do yall think?

    This is what my rear 9 cost me.

    Stock 9 housing $50
    Strange 9 case $240 P#N2206
    Pinion Support $90
    1350 Pinion Yoke $90
    5.13 gears $170
    Detroit $550
    Install Kit $150
    About $150 to have the gears set up
    35 spline shafts $425
    Then whatever brakes you will run.

    If you go with a Spider housing the you can add 500 for the hosing and about 100 for new end from Currie. If you get the right ends the 8.8 brake will bolt right up. So about 2500 and you have a great axle for years to come.

    You may have said, but why do yo wont to go 57 wms to wms. I made mine at 65 and had to put wheel spacer on the front to get a turning radius with 40's. With the steering setup i have i have 41dg of steering.

    I'm going 57" WMS to match the FJ front. I want to keep it narrow for now, plus I'd have to have ~4" spacers on each side to match a full width rear. I have thought about using new ends to have the correct pattern for the 8.8 brakes, but I'm still investigating 6 lug brake options.

    I'm toying with ideas on the diff also. My original thought was to keep it cheap and weld the spiders. Lately though I've been seeing 31 spline full spools come up for sale around $50. Does anyone know if spools have the splines all the way through or just in the area where the spiders would have been? In centering the housing I would end up with two different length axle shafts, meaning having to carry two spares. The difference is only 1-1/8", so if the splines on a spool are all the way through I could run two "short side" shafts and only carry one...or I could still carry two (better to buy in pairs anyway) and be ready in case the same side breaks twice.

    Both my rear shafts or the same length. It you have and ofset pinion the you can make both of them the same lenght. I have 6lug on mine. Just used cheve caliper and roter and welded a bracket on. But think about the what you are gong to do in the front latter. Tire size steering. You may wont to go wider in ther rear now. Find a complet rearend for about 100 put get new shaft and do your brakes and run it for now. Upgrade latter if you dont have the money right now. The key is getting to wheel. If you have to go with new shafts do the 35 spline not much more and a spool. Then latter all you need is a center section. wheel spacer on the front and you are good. Troy ran a stock center for a long time. Or run the stock shaft and have them drilled to 6 lug and weld up the spider gear. You can maybe do all that right now for less than 500.

    I wish somebody would have told me this before I started chopping my rig up.

    You make a good point on looking to the future. It would be wise to go ahead and upgrade to 35 spline if I'm buying axles anyway. I think though even at 31 spline the 9 inch will probably be stonger than the FJ front. I may put an upgraded set of birfs up front, but I don't see going much further than that. For me, if it's time for chromo Longfields it's probably time for 60s.
