I've never posted a vid... but you will have to put it on YouTube and share a link.

Glad you got it out to stretch its legs... really happy to see that.

Anyone ever bought one of the Dana 28 4.10 front diffs used from Bronco Graveyard?

Nope, got at least two D-28s in 4.10 laying around here and I’d much rather lay my hands on a D-35 in 4.10 than use a D-28 again. Starting to think even a D-35 is too weak too. Snapping axle shafts on 35’s gets old quick.

Want to come off a 4.10 one?

Sure, I don’t recommend the D-28, but if it’s what you really want… I have the complete D-28 with some crappy extended arms (they are solid but used rod ends at the frame mounts and they were angled wrong, I was going to try heating and re-bending but never got that far) and it has a lock-right in it. Was debating on keeping the lock right for my 88, but I haven’t fully committed.

Not sure offhand anymore, but there might be a 4.10 center chunk in my shed or something as well (I’d have to go on a hunt) and my 89 parts Ranger has a 4.10 D-28. Shipping any of it would probably suck though.

I would just be interested in the D28 hog head with 4.10's I know they're weak etc but I'm only running 31's, I can get 7.5 4.10's pretty cheap so figured run it till front breaks or I find a 35 to swap in. But I am interested and can send you a UPS label so not too worried about shipping. Just need demensions and weight. And what you'd want for it...

Have to wait till next week before I can get to it at the earliest, so as long as you’re not in a hurry we can figure it out.

If I forget, which I’ve been known to do, just remind me, lol. I got a lot on my plate right now and I’m trying to do what I can with it.

So today was roof rack day. Bought the supplies during the week and knocked it out in about 4 hours. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Thanks but not a whole lot of skill there. Some measurements and a portoband and about 3 hours. Painting was more time consuming.. But I am happy how it turned out!

And some more parts in today! New hubs and some of the lights..
