I've thought about it a while, and I just can't see putting the same money into my little axles, I'd probably have to do even more to get them strong enough.

Yeah, some year I hope to have 37s and an 8" lift, probably about 3-5 years from now. I'm also hoping to move back out west after I'm done with school here in a little over a year, so I will get good use out of it.

Question's really is that front axle strong enough for hard wheeling with a locker and 37s?

I would take a HP30 over a LP44 any day of the week up to 35s. In fact, I would never consider a LP44. LP60 yeah, but not a 44.
 
hey fellas, if you dont mind helping out a fellow MWC-er I would appreciate it if you would vote (especially) for me over in the Rough Country pic contest. It is over in a few hours, so PM GRIMUS99XJ and tell him who ya vote for (also note my MWC badge on the fender in the pics :D ) It is located in the vendors forum. Thanks :thumbup:
 
Just got pictures of the axles, turns out he gave me bad info, the front is a passenger side diff, but I'm still going to take the rear D60 for $125, it's fairly good condition, picking it up Sunday. Now I just got to find a front axle about the same width. A few more years and I'll have new axles under the jeep.

Sounds like a safe operation.

Where did you get it from?
 
Safe?

Nope...not even close to safe.

I had some "extra" tires under it just in case.

I got in in payment for some electrical work i am doing for a buddy.

It came from Cabelas.

:D

Doh! I forgot all about that, I could've / should've warned you...

For what it's worth, I don't think that 60 is really all that much wider than our stock. Maybe an inch or two per side.

You could really run spacers/adapters on your 30 to make up the difference, but the D30/60 combo does sound pretty ridiculous...

I guess you're better off looking for a F250 44...

Good luck!

(Have you decided what you're going to run to justify that big, manly axle? ;))
 
A few months ago someone passed me and threw up a rock that took out the front end of my WJ, did about $1500 in damage. Got it fixed.

Yesterday I noticed that the front bumper is crushed in again, white paint all over it. Who knows how long it has been that way, I had been driving the cherokee all week.

I'm going to park it for a while, I can't stand looking at the thing right now. It will probably end up with an ARB bull bar on it.

Why the heck would you put a plastic front bumper on a jeep?!

I feel your pain. Replaced the windshield on my 96 in August. ($290) Went through the car wash yesterday and it cracks on the passenger side.Did not even see the rock chip. :gee: I know one of the local deputies has been gunning for me ever since he ran into me without his lights or siren on. Time to park it till it's fixed.
 
Got the new JP Mag. yesterday front cover news Jeep Brand sold to International ..
In the article they mention future plans are to discontinue the Liberty name and call it the Cherokee again.. Keeping straight axles and adding a diesel engine.

Overall Sounds like good news..

Well off to the garage got a engine to fire.

Haven't read it yet but that sounds too good to be true. It is the April (fools) issue. I could be wrong though.
 
I will bet that it is an April Fools joke.
There is nothing about it anywhere on the internet, except a reference to that article.
I searched every page too, this is how I know I searched every page....
