THe NAC Lots-O-BFG KO2 Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Hmmm, I have come to the crude realization that the odds of me finding a geared axle or getting mine re-geared by the 13th are slim to none.

Couple that with the fact that I really would rather not regear the 30, and instead want to upgrade and then regear makes me think I may just get the 9" fixed and drive the Jeep 2wd style for a while. During which time I will shop for and/or build a 44.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

scott, building a 44 wouldn't be a bad idea... but it depends how often and how hard you want to wheel. a 30 might do it if you're not into really womping your sh!t
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Well Anthony, let me explain. I have been wheeling very mildly ever since I got the Jeep. The past few yeas I havent even been able to drive the Jeep. I like the idea of 33/34s followed by 36's down the road. Then in a couple years maybe make the jump to tons. But regardless, the Jeep isn't my DD anymore. A cage will likely be a necessity. :D

So yeah, If I need to I will be willing to take it easy on a 30. If I can build something that I can beat on... oh, I will beat on it :laugh: So I think a HP44 would be a good idea. I just wish it was nicer out so I could set up a table outside and leave it and work when I come home at nights. Maybe I will set up a small shop type thing in the old tent that the Jeep used to be in. That and I wish HP44's came in a 61" width with 5x4.5 lug pattern.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

scott, fair enough. you can do quite a lot without NEEDING a cage though....
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Wait, seriously? For one or two axles? In or out of the Jeep?

Given that price I'm strongly considering just buying an inch-pound torque wrench etc and learning to do it myself :scared:

Dude, where are you looking at install prices?

That is the cheapest I've seen around here. Local shops want $750 per axle.

baystate did mine for like 5 something in the jeep with an install kit and wheel bearings in that price

If I get quoted like $5xx for gears/parts from baystate maybe I will just regear the 30 so I can at least wheel something for the time being.

!?!?!?!?

Wzoreks gets 250 each.

Kyle drove all the way out to westfield to get his done there because it was such a good deal.

most places out here are really resonable.

I was expecting more in the 800 range.
