92' YJ axle fullsize swap w/38.5's

[gonecheenin]

Whelp,
-obviously stripped the old axles out,
-did a bunch of frame rust repair a while back,
-got the 14 bolt Semi-float's diff welded up solid,
-tubes cleaned,
-rock snagging webbing cut out of the bottom side,
-Hybrid rear springs made from Dodge front mains & wrangler spring packs moving the axle back 1.25"s
-trimmed main eye hangers to lower & strengthen
-modified shackles for ideal length with the 48" springs
-new perchs welded on and axle stuffed into place
Still need some stuff like upper u-bolt plates for a 14 bolt, a crossover joint for the rear shaft, u-bolts, and brake parts
But all in all I'm pleased with the progress

Looks good, what ya gonna be running up front?

[92YJCBG]

nice! what are you putting under the hood?

-Ford 3/4 ton HPD44 with Chevy 6 lug outer parts,
-Alloy USA 4340 inner shafts (will have alloy outers eventually, but not until I can afford CTM/Yukon steering joints, till then the fairly strong stock stubs will act as a fuse),
-TSC/junkyard full hydro steering,
-and eventually a selectable locker (but will probably be just a welded diff for now)


All suspended on custom packed & reversed Toyota 20.5x27.5 80'-88' 4x4 pickup main springs - as soon as I can find a set with good mains (the two sets I have need main eye bushings replaced cause of seizing)

Umm, nothing more then is already there in the stock 260,000 mile 4.0 & auto trans

This is pretty darn close to where everything should sit once I get the rest of the parts I need;

[MF Steve!]

Schweet!

It took you this long to post pics from April 16, 2002?!?

Very nice, Jay! You going to cut the boggers?

Hopefully, I'll get to see this at Big Dogs in Sept!

Hmmm, calender is apparently in need of being set


Doubtfull on the cutting, but we'll see once they get some wear on them (I've heard about Boggers hardening up once worn down, if that happens I'll probably chop em' up)

I'm hoping to have it ready for a few rides before Big Dogs, but my main goal is having it ironed out & ready for the Main Jambo (While wheeling it down there on 33's was fun, I'm ready to wheel the place without having to pick every last line through the rocks perfectly )

Comp cut rear and flatty toob fenders up front?

If you are using the 48 inch yota rear springs (I put them up front in the 4runner, btw) you may have to burn the bushings out and put eurothane in. They will flex pretty well after they break in.

I will be cutting the parts off that axle this week. What parts do you want so I don't scrap anything you need?

This project is looking great, I cant wait to see it on the trail.

Don't really like the looks of a comp cut, for now I'm just gonna trim to fit the tires in the rear & Trim up to the hood latchs in the front I think, then see how it turns out

Yep, custom built packs with Toy 20.5 x 27.5 mains run backwards to put the 20.5 long part forward at the shackle

The stock rubber that bad? (I'm planning to run full hydro, so I won't have much side to side force to deal with)

Thats actually one of the parts piles currently holding me up now

I need everything from the steering knuckle/balljoints out, including the knuckles & axle stubs

If you just hack the axle side mounted C on the inside of the ball joints & cut the inner axles inside the yokes (or just hack the tube apart right inside the axle C) & I'll do the rest (If you could save the balljoints, tierod, brake calipers, brake hoses, etc... best you could, I would be appreciative)

The stock rubber is pretty good. The problem is getting the bolt out of the sleeve. I will try to get that axle cut up asap.

Hoping to go with new mains to solve that issue

Sweet let me know soon as we can make it happen

[RalphDogg]

bigzees ol' jeep is taking shape.

[gonecheenin]

DMG, I found out today that a stock YJ poly spring bushing kit works real sweet in Toy springs if you shave the sleeves down an 1/8" (Least for offroad use anyway)

bigzees ol' jeep is taking shape.

Yes it is

[YZEATER]

looking good.

i see everyone else is giving ya a hard time about throwing some 1-tons under there, so i won't have too.

btw, i just picked up something tonight that would solve the little axle sydrome.

If you remove the stock sleeve along with the rubber busing from the 'Yota leaves, you can replace using some 1.5" exhaust pipe for a new sleeve, and a 1.5" poly bushing. Slice the exhaust tubing lengthwise with an angle grinder, and that will allow you to get it in there fairly easily. Worked very well on DMG's springs.

I got a credit card here that will be plenty of help for that axle syndrome

Come on everybody, can you say "Alloy USA 4340's (Ford inners & GM outers) with CTM joints"




But now you gotta tell me what you bought (I want one of those Crew Cab Chebby's to replace my Stroke' someday)

Hmm, I'll keep that in mind in case this doesn't work out as well as it looks like it will

[baadman28]

Very good!!! Support !wow gold wow gold wow gold wow goldwow gold

[gonecheenin]

Still a major work in progress, but its working out real well so far

[fast250r]

That thing turned out nice. I want to go full size under mine also.

[92YJCBG]

I want it!
