How about I bring my axle and you help me set up the gears? Then I can grab the front diff while I'm in the area. :)

Hmmm. Let me get my 8.8 setup using the pinion tool. If it goes well, I'll be happy to help set yours up.

Ended up grabbing that set from my local pull-a-part. I'll still take you up on the help regearing some day though. Plan on swapping the 3.27 geared 8.8 into my single cab ranger project and will need to regear it.

Had a night open last week. Helped that it was 30 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year.



I spent hours cleaning up the frame. I have the bottom of the passenger side to do yet. What a fun job that is. No wonder people buy Jeeps...



Then I grabbed the 60 to slide it under just to see. I was going to gut the axle (for handling purposes) but the snap ring on the end of the stub shafts require some long nose snap ring pliers. I put it on my list for Santa. Anyways, this is one HEAVY axle.





Then I started to mount the last 2 tires so I could throw them on. But the cops showed up as I was trying to get this one to seat the bead. So I called it a night around 1am.
