Important

New spring shoes.

The front tire's were from 1994, the rears were 1999. It should be safer now.

disappointed man...getting new tires should have a ton of burnt rubber stuck on rear quarters!!!
 
dumb tech question in important:

Does anyone know anything about the crown vic 8.8's? No i don't want to buy wheeler's vic :) They are 28 spline but they match up perfectly in width with a jk dana 30. They make 31 spline chromos for it which means you can use any 8.8 full case locker with it and it was disc brake from 91+. I'm thinking about it as an option for the wj. JK 44's are dumb expensive and crown vic/grand marquis/town cars are easy to find in jy's here...9" is the other option but it will still be more than the 8.8 in the long run. Ill have to get the flanges re-drilled to match the front...but for 33's it seems like the cheapest option that will still be plenty strong.


03+ Vic's are stoopid wide.

I built a polished one for a second gen Xterra. Only semi float I could find that was wide enough. Cool axle but in the end should of just built a 9" in a custom housing.
 
from what i've read up to 03 they are 62.5"...from then on they are 65" wms to wms, the same as a jk 30 (explorer is 59.5"). i really need to find one and a yard an put a tape on it before i even begin to think about it.

9" and jk 44 are the other two options that would work. 60's aren't right for what i need. i really don't need anything stronger than a 44/8.8 rear so a 9" would be a little overkill, but they are fairly easy to find so i'm considering it for sure. i've got time to get it figured out, so one of these days when i'm in the yard, i'll take a peek at the vic's
