Ok, so with my build still being planned, im going over my plans for a front axle. Ill post what im thinking, tell me what you all think, if anything can be done cheaper, or something I am doing wrong, or could be doing better.

Complete Waggy 44 from the pick n pull. Its 200 dollars, but if I go on a half off day, I could score one for 100.00

TNT Truss = 485.00 www.tntcustoms.com

Warn Locking hubs 100.00

Detroit Locker

539.00

TOTAL PRICE: 2163.00
not including shipping and other costs. Pretty expensive, but quality new parts, hopefully the shit wont break and will last a while, and I could always swap it into a new jeep if I were to get one or sell it. Its pretty stout, but I think it will be worth it because it shouldnt break, and atleast if I do break a shaft its under warranty. Should hold up to a 37 inch tire if I ever decide to go that big.

Anything I am forgetting, any thoughts, Comments, Suggestions? I know a couple guys on here have waggy fronts so chime in.

Also, id be willing to settle for a pre-built axle somebody is selling, if anyone knows of any.

get these for gears

they are yukons, they just don't advertise yukons at such a low price because yukon will yell at them.

i would also get the hubs from complete offroad

reason 1, its nice to buy everything from one place.

reason 2, sure you will pay a tid bit more, but shipping is free

[KtmRacer419]

i would also get the tnt truss and riddler cover from www.jeepinoutfitters.com

reason 1: you pay the same price but get them both from one place

reason 2: you help put jasons kid through college

reason 3: you WILL NOT have an issue with him, and if you do you can always publicly humiliate him on jeepforum

[Mike]

k

anything else I might need that I did not list.

going to have to figure out something for steering. does banditt still do one ton

[Mike]

sounds good on the jeepinoutfitters, was planning on buying the tnt kit from em anyway.

[KtmRacer419]

if your axle gearer can weld you can get the steering from completeoffroad and do it yourself

cut to length then have him burn a 4 welds for you.

then ream out your pitman arm and one tie rod end

[Mike]

my axle gearer can also weld and is welding on the truss

most important.

[grundlepunch]

why do you need the hubs, why do you need the diff cover why do you need the chromos?

[Mike]

hubs case i break can unlock em drive home

diff cover, it will never break. proof www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G5upBGBej0

chormos = probably will never break, 10 year no questions asked warranty

basically, i dont want to have to worry about breaking.

what do you suggest dana

[Pedro]

thats a lot of money
