I was talking about the front dana 30.
I got it back in. Today i took care of some loose ends and I drove the jeep out of the garage to find the brake pedal going straight to the floor...now what...

Front axle all done-up...
old rear driveshaft that dented compared to the new rear driveshaft material
new driveshaft is on the stool and the square tubing tie rod is on the bench
track bar brace that will go on the red cherokee
and the rest of my time goes to
and cruising in the 98 H1 Hummer Wagon my boss decided to get so I had something new to beat around this summer. It has the 6.5L turbo diesel, lockers, front brush guard, warn 12k lb winch, full skids, and I drive it like I stole it.
i like the holster in the cab of the tractor
2007 Quad cab frontier LE
1998 wrangler with pink wheel centers (hers)
2004 trx450r stress reliever.
Yesterday I bored out the throttle body on the drill press as practice for doing it to my 2wd cherokee and it came out really well.
Also put the Dodge Dakota springs in the rear and with the Teraflex shackles I have about 6" or 7" of lift in the back I think. Had to cut the shocks mounts off of the bottem of the axle and weld them to the top.
Also put new brake shoes and brake lines in so I don't run into anyone on the trail.
Going to make a rear bumper of sorts here soon and then maybe a snorkel but I think it's about ready to wheel.
The front bumper...
basically a piece of channel with plates going back the frame rails catching all the necessary mounting holes with tow hooks on the sides.
the rear bumper I made tonight is basically identical in appearance.
looking good, did you end up welding the rear end? Any luck with suspension? I got rough country 3 inch shocks if you still need them, less then 1k on them
93xj - best $200 dollars I ever spent
91Xj - 33inch TSL's - Some Lift -- Trailer Queen- sold
87xj - 33's 5 inch lift toy - sold
99xj - 31's 4 inch lift to nice to beat so I sold it
01xj - offroad bumpers lift n tires soon
I'm debating on it.
Would be dana 35 be c clip?
I'm going right now to pick up a dana 30 and 8.25 with 3.55s I found for $165 so I might as well weld up the dana 35 and go till it breaks. Wozz has spare shafts anyways.
The rear bumper I made yesterday...
It mounts similar to a trailer hitch, except there are two pieces of angle sandwiching the "frame" instead of the nutserts being used in the "frame" and a piece of channel matching the front bumper ties the sides together.
and throttle body boring
I went out to do some wheeling the other day and I sucked water into the intake due to the stock design sucking hard so I sealed up the box and ran a hose out the side and to the roof to make a snorkel. It looks ridiculous but it works well.
Went to the junkyard today and for only $35 I picked up a Cherokee transfer case skid plate and a set of grand Cherokee V8 coils since the bronco coils shift around too much.
I replaced the broken brake line and put in new spark plugs so I think the jeep is finally ready for some wheeling.
Damn I need a camera.
Use some of that money your saving on building this jeep to buy a camera!
Either way...I'm glad to see this jeep is working out for you.

Some pictures today from the camera phone at work...
I already shortened that snorkel by about 3 feet after taking the pictures.
And some pictures of my buddy's bronco that always gets stuck or breaks...
my back yard
at work
crushed a little jack stand
we are the reckless masters of the farm jack
wow that think is looking sweet
Umm, why does that not look like a trail?
Please, have all parties involved in a picture pull up their pants.
A chain is not a tree saver.
Notice the title says "at work" which means private property and my job recently on the 300 acre farm I work on has been to blaze new trails and widen old ones due to the new H1 Hummer we have.Originally Posted by Muzikman
And that tree will probably be cut down anyways.
So
I'm getting ready for Thanksgiving break soon and its going to be 2 weeks of wheeling but first I need to weld up that dana 35 and put a new u-joint on the back driveshaft.
Been getting the jeep ready for the Toys for Tots run this weekend.
I noticed this today...steering box bolts that weren't reinforced by the front bumper mount were ripping themselves through the subframe. Decided it should be fixed before the weekend.
And the completed reinforcement bracket for those troublesome bolts welded to the bumper mounting bracket on the side and the still solid unibody underneath.
wheres the toys for tots run this weekend at i know theres one on the 5th of dec in the bandlands
