You going to the badlands in May, that's when 'm bringing Andy's drivetrain, could meet you too, or I could put it in a box and ship it if you want. not heavy just kinda big.
87manche said:Gil,
The tailgates got some surface rust, it's some big patches, but its not through the metal yet. You still want it? I smacked the rust spots, seems solid enough, you could sand it down and paint it without going through the metal.

87manche said:If I did it I would just swap axles.
The d35 has blown up spider gears.
The d30 has new u-joints and bearings done last year Bob tells me.
The problem with me just welding new perches is that I don't have a welder and I don't know how to weld. but I could take all the measurements off of this axle and have someone do it. just tell'em to make it look like that one.
3.73's would undoubtably be nicer than my 3.07s, and that's the most popular gear ratio for the 8.8, so it would match nicely.
How do you think 32's and 3.73's would get along with my 5spd?
lastly, whatcha want for it, cash in a birthday card?![]()
nope I don't. I thought that all the 4 banger MJs had gotten 4.10s, but apparently this one got 3.55s...Lawn Cher' said:I wheeled 32's and 3.73 gears on my '97 for awhile, worked alright and good on pavement too. Don't you have a 4.10 D30 there already? Just hold out for a 4.10 8.8 and do it once.

So anyway, whatcha want for 3.73 axles?
According to my handy dandy crawl/speed calculator
http://www.manoian.net/jeep/gear_ratio_calculator.html
3.73's and 32s gives me a final crawl ratio of about 38:1, and should still be quite nice on the road.
65@2K RPM.
If your going that route, I've got a D35 /w/ 4.56's (Open, non c-clip) if your interested.87manche said:well, I've got enough spare non c d35 parts. I've got spare shafts and now housings.
What would you want for just the detroit?
