So here is my project
• 89 YJ with WMS Ford D60 Front Dually hubs, 5:38 R&P, Air Locker, High Steer Chrome alloy 35 spline axles
• 39.5” Irocks
• Hummer wheels stock back spacing
• F150 Leaf springs front
• SM 465 Tranny
• NP231
• D60 Rear 35 spline axles and Spool
• Home made 4 Link with TJ coils………(on going)

Any question or comments, here are some picks. I have just started the 4 link and I have only tack welded the links and cross member.

Looks kick ass, any pics from straight on so we can see the width up front?

My track width is 78" with the humme wheels...http://img50.echo.cx/img50/3903/frontviewwithbeer4fl.th.jpg (http://img50.echo.cx/my.php?image=frontviewwithbeer4fl.jpg)

How are you measuring track width? center line to center line? or outside of tire to outside of tire?

dana 60's front and rear with a 231?

little too much axle for that mini t-case... IMO

oh - here are the expected praise:

ooooooo

aahhhhhhhh

good job!

thats awesome!

just so we get them out of the way...

I like the dually front axle ~ it looks narry and wide at the same time. The dually wheel spacer really protects the selectable hub; I doubt you'll be worrying about rock damage. Ahm also curious as to how the increased - or percieved increased - moment arm length (center of mass/load of wheel to ball joints) will effect performance or breakage issues.

I like the new and different thing a bunch - good job!

97:1 isn't a lot of gear reduction in the rocks on 39.5's...though not sure that you care about the rocks...

I am measuring track width out side to out side of tire.
Yes I think that the 231 is weak but I do not have the money right now to replace it, and I have a spare if that one takes a dump.. I will hope to put an atlas in next year...
I live in the North West so not alot of rocks.....97:1 will work fine for my weeling.
I think the dually hub should hold up, I will let you know at the end of the summer...

What is the width of the axle without the dually hubs? Is it a full width? Seems a bit narrow? Nice Idea on protecting the hubs though.

Nice work

looking good, did you lengthen your wheel bace (out back with tj flares)? and how much.

did you have to do much with those ford springs??? thinkin about using them as well on my build, how much lift did you get out of them???

http://img109.echo.cx/img109/9199/shackleonframe3ai.th.jpg (http://img109.echo.cx/my.php?image=shackleonframe3ai.jpg) Wms to wms is 67" with the dually hubs.
The F150 springs are long I had to cut off the front body mounts to fit them in the center pin is with in an inch of the factory wrangler springs.

I got about 7" of lift out of the F150 springs

Sorry the wheel base is 102"

coolthanks for the info, sounds like a prject

I got the lowers fabed out of pvc and flexed I think it will work.

What is the front axle out of?

82 F250 dually...

Schweet!

............Is it a full width? Seems a bit narrow? Nice Idea on protecting the hubs though.

Nice work


That's what I was thinking (the narrow thing). I've got a Chev dually front, H1 wheels and 38" SX. I'm 83" from outside of sidewall to outside of sidewall. (75" on the rear 14 bolt)

I live in washington and alot of the trails were built by willys jeeps in the trees so anything over 80" wide has a real hard time getting through the trees..
