spares aren't easy to find for the long side. Stubs are easy (chevy) and short side is easy (chevy). Long side is wagonneer (can't remember if it's early or late). One is an inch longer than the other. Either CAN work if you chop an inch off the long year shaft, otherwise the shorter of the two is the perfect length.
yall are clowns. im with frick, 44 shafts are easy to find. buy a chromo long side inner if your worried about finding them. everything else is a dime a dozen.
maybe put in a open carrier in the front or a lunchbox?
Nice work.

Why are you worried about breaking it if you are leaving the country? Will you not be able to sleep at night over in Australia knowing that your jeep has a broken front shaft and will be sitting idle, even though it would still be sitting idle if it were intact?
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
Also tons of you jeep fags put 37's on 44's. Besides how many 30 front shafts did you break with the 30 and 35's?
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
garret's bronco is also heavier with a stroked motor
Red 81 CJ5, 35's, 4.10 and detroit, 4 to 1 dana 300, tbi efi, flat belly, cage, chromos and auzzie in front... sometimes runs. body damage to come
I broke tons...4 or 5 maybe thats why I built a 60
Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
I broke several outers and inners with the stock 258, d44, and 38"s...

none actually. I did have chromos though.
I'll be wheeling the jeep around town, HWY-47 and soggy bottom. But I'm going to pass on wheeling at TCC this year. I don't want to push the ford by towing with it before I sell the truck. Now, if I find a tow then thats a different story.
You guys know ryan's driving style. Those stock 44 shafts don't stand a chance with 37's and the 5.0L. There is no point in upgrading the inners if you leave the outers stock, you grenade an outer and its a pretty good chance you'll take the ears off the inner chromo as well.
The Doctor prescribes 1 glass of airsoft pellets in each tire.
2500 bbs x .12G each. = roughly 10oz.
I *erred* on the excessive side.

I went with the golf balls in mine. Let us know how you like the ride.
My bitch better have my money...

Not half, not some, but all my cash...
'Cause if she don't,
I'm gonna put my foot in her ass.
First off, the new tires on the front ends own weight. It is allot higher than I thought, looks like for than 1" gain in height to me. I still like it though.
Second, what do you get when you combine some chain, a harbor freight 12ton tubing kinker, and a torch? A relatively straight axle. The problem before was when I slid in the driver side shaft the flange would get 4" from the hub and I would have to beat the f*ck out of it to get it to go in. Then the bolt holes on the shaft and hub would not line up.
NOW I can slid the flange all the way to the hub and all the bolts line up, just like the pass. side, and just like it is supposed to.
Stay tuned for the truss and shave.
