NO POL-LOCKAH! This will be no wheelin rig. Its only function will be a hunting truck in the winter and a beach pimp-mobile the rest of the year. I remember Fred comparing the two axles in Clayton, but dont remember exactly what he said.

why do you want a locker if it's gonna be a posermobile?

Cause its gonna be used hunting (i.e. MUD) and at the beach. Plus, who the f' builds a jeep with an open diff in the back?

then I don't understand why you don't want to weld it.
but it's your jeep
sell it to me for double what you paid for it, than I'll show Flem how to build a 5!

With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
you just stated a very strong case for a welded diff. why spend the money on a locker if its the perfect candidate for a lincoln locker?
Then you can buy a locker for the front instead. That way when you find out it wheels much better than a fullsize and start wheeling it you'll be further along with the upcoming modifications allready.
And then he could just swap in the 14ff and 60

Biggest reason for no pol-lockah is that it will probably see more street time than sand or dirt. Plus, I just dont fawking want to. What gearing should I go with for 33's and no overdrive? It has a V8 (304 I think). I would think 4.10s would be good but without the o/d would 3.73s be mo-betta? Any idea on what gears the axles have from the factory? I've been researching stuff on pirate and am gonna do the zuki front rotors and nissan 300z caliper disk brakes on the back. Now I need to figure out how to add power brakes.

Oh yah, were tailgates optional for CJs? I say Robbie's has one and his doesnt have as many other options as mine does (V8 and P/s) but mine doesnt have a tailgate. Did someone just booty weld a piece of sheet metal where the gate should be or did it come from the factory that way? It looks factory at a glance but I havent looked close at it and have found some other booty-tastic stuff.

On my old axle's the gearing was like 3.54 or something, but since your's is a Renegade who it might be different.
As for power brakes couldn't you get a later model CJ power brake booster and master cylinder?
C.J.'s Jeep doesn't have a tailgate either, but Nick's old Jeep does. Our's are all the same year model wonder why they're different?

nick made the one for his btw, and this is confusing, its Roberts cheapJeep thread, but Robby is CheapJeep
Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
my buddies cj-5, with the three speed stick, and 304, came with 3.73, no tailgate, but it had the open knuckle 30
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
Creighton, this might answer your question!
