I really like where this is going, gives me hope to attempt it on my old XJ turned parts rig (I still like it more than my current project). Only I think I'll have a body tech friend supervise. Good luck finishing it up, keep the pics coming.

You make some valid points, machine work adds up and really isn't all that cheap unless you can do it yourself. I'll look into a 9inch which was originally considered before I picked up the 60 in a trade. I liked the idea of a 60 being nearly invincible with what I would be running now (35-36")...

O and yes I plan to do a complete gut and rebuild with 35 spline shafts/carrier ...well locker

Except a Dana 44 does not have 35-spline options and do not come as a semi or full float housing... but correct me if I am wrong, in all seriousness I am more eager to learn before a mistake is made. I have yet to pull the axle apart and count the splines but I am sure you are right.

Putting together a rear 70s Ford Dana 60 in my XJ project and need a few questions answered. First I want to do away with the 8-lug pattern and move to a more reasonable 5x5.5, I have never built an axle of this variety thus do not know where I can source the parts from and/or what to pull...

Scored an XJ for free but it is in need of a motor, not wanting to sacrifice the engine from my current project, although it won't be ready for sometime I wanted something to wheel for now. Before I head out to the local yards I was offered a running 80,000 mile 4.2L from a 1990 YJ for free and...

Well I'm convinced... its just getting out there that seems to be the problem Awesome pics though, any more of xtremexj94's two door?
