    theyll be for my 78 44 of course. wont be able to play with the stuff till kevin gives me the 44. i guess ill get the stuff when we meet over cmas break. im thinking since a 44 and 10 bolt are the same then i could use the calipers that i will have and just use the rotors and shafts etc. but dont know if the calipers bolt up the same on a 44 and a 10b. no idea really

    Aggies do not cheat, steal, or lie.

    Tried those calipers. Maybe if we had the brackets that go with them.

    Got the d300 and 14 bolt in. To get the right clocking, we had to turn the clocking ring around and retaper the holes it bolts to the transfer case with. Also removed the d300 input seal with a band saw. Stock skid plate works. Kurt made some fancy shifters that go around the driveshaft and to the shift rails that are on the bottom of this now upsidedown case.

    It sits kinda like you'd expect a jeep with SOA and a 3" body lift to. 12" between fender flare and 37" tire. Its hardly wider though.

    This one has no oil. Its just gears and ball bearings, whatever gear oil gets splashed around should be fine. Haven't decided how full to fill it yet.

    Got the d44 in, drive shafts, shocks, brakes and some stuff done today. Still need to build the drag link and a few other things I'm sure I'm forgetting about. Won't put the d300 shifters on untill the body lift is removed.

    The front sits 2" lower than the back. So maybe add another leaf to the front and shorten the rear shackles.
