Teaser Dana 60 Build

[RCman]

Are you H1's recentered? Different bolt pattern? Where'd you get em from?
Thanks,
Jeremy

I've got 12-bolt H1s all stock, yet I'm planning to weld on a set of rock-rings before I run them.
I'm using them with full-width 60s, 8lug, so I'm not worried about the width/backspacing (only worried about the rash of beatings my drive flanges will see ). I got them new in box, never mounted, from a guy on the PBB for a decent price.

IMO, you will be alittle narrow running them on your narrowed (60" WMS, right?) housing if you use the stock 7.25" backspacing. That's something you're going to have to measure before you get into them.

Edit: Thinking about it, be the wheels will be further inboard than stock using those dimensions. :shiver:

Yeah I imagine I will have to recenter them.

I have been SO busy with work that I have not had enough time to work on the rear 60. The good news is I just picked up a 6.2L J code diesel to go into the Jeep. I also picked up a 700R4 bolted to a NP231C. I am very excited, I got a good deal on the whole setup. Just need a few more parts. I really need to get the Rear 60 done so I can start on the conversion. More to come.

I hope that 700r4 works better for you than any that I've ever heard of. How many miles on it?

Not sure it was supposedly rebuilt with updated internals. Not too worried since I got the tranny and Tcase for $100. Just got to pick up the correct flexplate on tuesday and the drive train will be complete. I'm thinking about getting a rolling chasis that doesn't have motor/tranny so I can get everything fit and motormounts made. My rig is my DD, so I don't want it down for too long.
