Project: No Name

[xjthextremejeep]

I havent thought of a name yet but im going to starta build thread on my jeep, ill get some of the pics up once im out of class though.

Started off stock when i got it, 2250 bucks and rust free 117k miles.

went with a rustys 4 inch lift and 33's

first set of thirty threes got destroyed once i bent my tierod.

next i got a 78 ford f 250 set of axles hp 60 front and full float 60 rear for 150 bucks

sold the front for 200 so i got the rear for -50 dollars, redid the brakes and everyhting and is almost ready to go in

recently got a set of thirty fives that will be going on as soon as i have my 2008 rubicon dana 44 front under the jeep, just gotta do the steering.

ill get pics and more specs up of it once im out of class

could have gotten that rear axle for -$850

eneeway

how are ya gonna get the widths the same?

and lug patterns?

i would rock the front 44, but what holds me back is the lug pattern difference

[xjthextremejeep]

im not all that worried about wheel patter right now cuz im gonna carry an 8 lug spare and convert the jk axle to 5 on 4.5 and hope someo ne has a stock wheel pattern spare.. that or jsut not air down as much until i have bead locks.. and the only reason i sold it so cheap is cuz i took the payment before i knew it was a 60... i figured ehh its a 78 250 had a high pinion 44 and then i looked and was like fuck

[xjthextremejeep]

also the widths will be the same with 1 inch spacers in the front which i need to convert the lug pattern ne ways

[JustTorchIT]

I WIN....

[JustTorchIT]

AND WTF MATE.... u told me u bout them for 400 and thats why you needed half for the front.....

[xjthextremejeep]

lol i got em for 75 a piece... you got a great deal on a hp 60 anyways

that doesnt sound like fun.

what does airing down have to do with it? running high pressure doesn't mean your tire is no longer prone to punctures or denting a rim.

i would never be happy with 2 bolt patterns and bumming spare tires off people when i need it.

[xjthextremejeep]

well i wont have to worry about losing a bead and bein SOL and less likely to dent a rim if you arent at super low pressures... the front axle is prolly just temporary.. im not sure yet

[KtmRacer419]

well as you can see in my thread in shenanigans, i like everything the same lol.

and aired up wheeling sucks balls.

if you lose a bead, there is usually someone willing to lend air, or some wd-40 and a lighter lol

[xjthextremejeep]

yeah true i mean id still run like 12 to 15 pounds... not gonna run street pressures and if something happens then hopefully theres someone there with air....

that sound we todd did.

if anything the rear should be temp. then build a nice 9 inch rear, shafts that match the front... hurray!!!

[KtmRacer419]

the 9" is good

just build your driveshaft to withstand a nuclear blast and get some sort of pinion skid on there. or be awesome and get a high pinion 9"

[xjthextremejeep]

yeah but i dont want a 9 inch... theres too many of them around that are just shitty axles and not worth building
