DIFFERENTIAL RINGS:
these are the same diff rings found here: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=226184
with the explanation here: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=226184&page=4&pp=25 (read my post towards the bottom of the page)

i currently sell these models in 3/8" thick plate with the bolt hole pattern:
D30 (currently out of stock)
D35
D44
D60
Chrysler 8.25
Ford 8.8
GM 14Bolt (currently out of stock)
Toyota Land Cruiser

i also have 2, D60 rings from 1/2" plate without holes, and 1 D60 ring from 1/2" plate WITH holes. first come, first served on these.

the D30, D35, D44, 8.25, and 8.8 rings are normally $30 each...this week $24 each! the TLC rings are normally $32.50...and $26 this week. the D60 and 14B rings are normally $35...and $28 this week.

all parts will be shipped UPS ground the day after i receive payment. PM or email me for shipping prices and to check availability. you can paypal the $$ to me at matrout@juno.com. if the parts you want are not in stock, i'll still sell them to you at the sale price when i get the next batch from the laser shop, which should be less than 2 weeks from today.

Right on! PM has been sent. Thanks. Thomas

[ouibus]

Just curious if you received the PM that I sent to you this afternoon? If not, then I just need to know shipping before I send out a Paypal payment to you. I can send it anytime before 1:00 PM Colorado time. I will be leaving for Moab this weekend and won't be back until later Monday night. Keep me updated because I am still interested in the 1/2" Dana 60 ring with the holes in it. TIA, Thomas

[jeepnmatt]

yep, i got it. the one 1/2" ring has already been spoken (and paid) for, but i'll go ahead and drill another one for you :D

check your PM's for more info.

thanks!

I could be interested in getting a couple of those D60 rings if you have any left....also, would you be able to make bead rings for weld on beadlocks? I have access to CAD and already have a CAD file made for the rings....lemme know...

i'll be on a jobsite all day on Wednesday and won't be around a computer. any emails or PM's sent will be responded to on Thursday.

thanks!
Matt

[woody]

bah...lol

I've unfortunately been trapped into quite a few "other" projects that have kept me from the garage...my wife's new office computer gets another 4-5 hours of work tonite...

However, I did pull the cover, and get some studs in for test-fitting purposes.
A> the ring fits PERFECTLY
B> the stock studs on a rear diff will be too short....but, 8 of the 10 studs (or it is 10 of 12...eitherway) you use to attach the diff itself for a front or rear axle are the perfect length. I pulled those from a couple spare junk housings, and replaced the too-short stockers. Of the 3 nuts I test tightened, it's perfect....instead of tightening the gasket (or for me, black RTV) with the flush-to-the-diff holes in the stock cover, you are now putting pressure on the raised ridges of the cover, creating a much tighter seal.

VERY nice.

I'm experimenting on Saturday with a junk housing to see if using 7/16 coarse studs will work....test-tapped a couple holes and I believe that's a good solution.

Other option is a metric bolt to replace the studs....I would use a 35mm bolt in the correct length (1-1/4" or so)...or even 40mm. 30mm is just a tad short, but would work. From memory, threads are 10mm x 1.25, and they are available from mscdirect.com (box of too many for ~$30)

I WILL (finally) have pics on Saturday....these will do an awesome job of protecting the lip of the front diff from damage and keep it sealing tightly, and provide a sufficiently thick area to weld on custom cover protection as well.

[moveaside]

Just to give a little product review I bought two rings from you because I got a bad habit of paying too much attention to making fun of my buddy in front or behind me while driving. This in turn leads to the occasional "Bam!" what the hell did I just hit question. I've beat those rings on the Con, Fordyce, Barrett and other places and they've held up like they were still new. Every once in a while I give them some rattle can to keep them from free from any rust and for the most part never worry about my diffs taking any damage. Thanks again it was money well spent after all I like to get to the campsite and not have to wrench on my shit if I can help it. :cool2:

[jeepnmatt]

Moveaside,
Good to hear you can't tear them up!


i just got the drawings done for the AMC-20 diff rings and should have them ready to ship in about a week.

thanks!
Matt

[mr_manny]

Matt,
No tracking info, but will look for them next week...thanks for the update.

Brian,
Thanks for the axle stud info...37mm studs should arrive next week.

promise to post shortly after :D

[jeepnmatt]

Sure, i can do a chrysler 9.25. price would be $35.

if you have an extra 9.25 cover you can send me, i'll give you a special deal on one. PM or email me for more info.

i might be able to get a 9.25 cover this weekend, i' just don't know for sure right now.

Matt

[jeepnmatt]

i am also stocked up on all of my SWB Jeep bumper brackets and tire carrier fab parts. PM or email me with part #'s and i'll respond with prices that are better than what is on the website.

if you bought a diff ring from me, and would like to post pictures of the finished diff protection project, please feel free to do so. i like to see them just as much as the next guy :D
