Weekend is over...what did you get done?

Almost ready to wheel! got to seal off the front wheel wells, move the rear bumpstops, and find somewhere to wheel

I went to the metro ATL Go Topless event and hung out with some freinds. Ended up wining a $100 pair of RC LED pods in the raffle, then a friend offered to trade me straight up for his 98 E350 FF D60. So, i would be $40 into a 60 axle with the big bore spindles that would accept 35 spline shafts. Sound like a good deal? I'd need some 35 spline side gears, gears, shafts, weld the carrier, disc brakes, and i'd probably truss it.
 
I did nothing Jeep related.

Had my daughters 1st birthday party, cut down some trees and bought a house.

Bought a house.....??? I thought you guys were going to build on that property?

Truss a FF D60? Why? You plan on jumping your xj off a mountain? Also I thought the E350 was a semi float with disk brakes? Or is that the newer ones?
 
Yup, looks like it'll be arriving right before the Crawl. Which means that on your way home from the Crawl you can come help me move stuff. :)

The weekend after I probably could do just that. That Sunday the boys and I always stop at Ashville Pizza and Brew on the way home for food and me a growler fill!

A small bridge for link mounts rather. The 99+ come with discs in a FF axle. I might try and gut one at a PaP and take the brakes, or just do the D70 Ruffstuff swap.

Seems like a plan to me. I like my D60.
 
Things are cheap to build. 35 spline chromos, side gears or spool, gears, cover, brackets, brakes...

Yea I have straight 35 spline yukons in my rear. Not even chromo's! I've broken the front stock stubs but that is about it. I'd really like to go to 35 spline stubs soon.
 
Got my new tie rods and tie rod ends delivered today. Did my ball joints over the weekend. By the time tonight is over I should have all new steering.

That old stuff was pretty ragged out!! I'm hoping that all this solves the wandering the Jeep does.

I'm leaning towards a 05+ SD 60 front. 35 inner and outer with bigger brakes. Knuckles have to be sent off to be machined for high steer arms for $350 with machining, arm, and everything installed. Unit bearings and ball joints the size of a beer can.
