The black(brown) driveshaft is from the front of my jeep and the grey one is from a ZJ...I'm going to have the black one extended and the grey one will be going in the front.

Did I understand correctly, you need to shorten the hardlines an flare the ends? I have a flaring tool an stuff, but you can "borrow" one from advance auto or autozone.

Cool, I didn't know they let you borrow the flaring tool...thats probably what I'm going to do.Originally Posted by LBF

auto zone rents/sells tools you pay for them and get your money back upon return.but the tools are usually junk. if you cant get it to flare napa in nk sells steel compresion fittings that you can use the key word is steel
Yea, but FYI, it's a bit tricky to get the flares right, I spent a bit of time messin with 'em. I may be able to stop an lend a hand if you need it, I"m gonna be home for spring break, headin home tomarrow night.

Andrew, I might be able to 'borrow' our flarring kit from work.
Also, are you and jay coming with us sunnnday??
I'll let you know if I need a hand...I'll practice a few times before I do the ones that count though.
I won't be there on Sunday...I have to work, have fun though and make sure you get some good pics!

did you get that front axle today?

I'm having them pull it because I don't want to play around in the mud. The guy said he has 3 engines he has to pull before he will get to it so he said it should be out either today or tomarrow.
It's from a 96 auto without a hitch or skid plates or tow hooks. The only thing I forgot to look at was the engine. It was pouring and I guess i was in kind of a hurry, but I figure in the worst case I'll have to gear deeper to 4.10's if its a 4cyl.
That was the only newer axle I could find...the one 97 had both knuckles busted off of it from moving it around and the other was already gone.

Picked up the HP30 today out of a 96'...I paid $150 for it. The one side looks like it has newer balljoints and the other side is missing the greese/dust boot but the ball joints look a lot better than mine do. It also has the better 297x joints. I'll be swapping over my Timken bearings and cutting off the passenger uca.

Nice!!!
Do you know what gears you got in it?
If your gonna loose the pass. side UCA I would suggest upgrading the driver side upper bolt to something bigger. I dunno what is available but one 3/8" bolt holding the axle from flipping forward seems weak. IMO only.
tag reads .55, so I would assume its 3.55's. nice find.

Yeah, I'm going to try and run 3.55's for now until I regear. The 3 is there the paint was just coming off alittle.
As for the UCA bolt...I know I'll be replacing the bushing and I think the bolt is bigger than stock but I'll have to check on that.
I ended up taking the arms off of it pretty easily...I thought it was going to be alittle hard.

sick dude.
LMK when the LA install happens.
Women have clothes and shoes....we get welding and tools!....and the women!
Well today I got a lot done...I trimmed the front fenders, relocated the vacuum ball and painted the axles
I also got the upper control arm mount for the passenger side cut off yesterday and I got the UCA bushing on the drivers side out last sunday...everyone complains about the UCA bushing being hard to get out...I ended up getting mine out in about 10 minutes
It's slowly coming along! My coils are on backorder, and summit won't get them in until april 4th

I have to say that Jeep looks 10x better than those pics show, Andrew you should have taken a pic of the front end all finished up.

That does look like some serious progress in the right direction for them 36's
Glad to see another Jeeper thats not afraid of the old spin-saw. Cut it up!
Damnit I need to get some free time to get summer projects going...those axles are making me jealous.

Ordering some 6.5" leafs on friday with 6* shims and grade 8 u-bolts!
I'll have to snap some pics of the front end after I get the door trim on those cut edges.

Well it was so nice out today! I got the 8" coils from UPS and I also got the 34"s on...I ended up having to change the passenger side unit bearing on the D30 thats in my jeep right now because it was really bad.
