Thiw was the deconstruction and re welding of the inner C back on

Very nice list, I'll be following along.

Looking forward to this!

Sounds awesome!

Check out Great Lake Offroad for the diff covers.

I know it's a fair bit more money, but maybe look at some used Hi-9's as well? Your 60 is already HP right?

Parts I have bought and bartered for



Detroit Locker for Dana 60 thank you for the steering box:)



Here are the arms I will be using



Stub shafts



Warn hubs used but this crap is adding up



Diff cover used but will clean up



35 Spline Detroit for the rear


Strange Nodular center

Also have all new ball joints bearings races and seals but if you have never seen one I will shoot u a picture

On its was is a Daytona pinion support and install kit:)

Looking good Trei!

While you've got that D60 out, make sure and run some extra bead around the housing/tube area and/or redo all the plug welds. 0700 on Day two in Moab this year I was welding that together on Robs rig, after he spun the tube. Worked the rest of the week, but the Rediwelder isn't as easy as in the garage with the MIG.

You might want to consider one of those pinion yoke driveshaft protector things. You are going to hit that thing a couple times.

What size joints are you going with, 1310 or 1350s?

How are you doing the radius end of the shock mounts?

Im going to.weld a shock tab to the top see how it works

What do your frame brackets look like? You'll have a nice setup when you're done!

Ruffstuff brackets

looking great dude.. going to be a great setup.

I hope I can convince somebody to come by once I have all the links tacked up

I'll come by, I'd love to check it out since I believe this is in my future.

No I can weld.fine im concerned about geometry and pinion angles.

JD cousin is setting up my gears down in Parker. Should be ready in a week to a week and a half.

Im thinking about a similar mount as your on the outside . I will need to decide on a lower or upper mount however..

Do you sleep? LOL!

Nope. Wonders of new baby and im a freak

My axles came last week and I have most of my disc brake parts ready to go on the housing. Bob got me hooked up at discount tires to get my iroks mounted note to self iroks are directional :-)Still waiting on the axles to get done. Cant seem to get a answer when they will be done.. little worried about 3k worth of parts sitting on a shop floor. Anyone know another place to get axles setup. I may need to go pick them up this week if I cant get a answer...

My cousin not coming thru on the axles?? I might be able to dig into it a little more if you need me to... I was hoping he'd be doing it as a side job? maybe he is and that's why it's not done??

Im sure your right JD. It's cool just worried about my parts. I set everything on the floor of his shop and I trust him but thats alot of money in lockers and gears etc.. its all good I will text him tiday

I'd be happy to do a little prodding man. I understand. I trust Ty, but I have not even been to his shop or met any co-workers.
