badassjeepguy 03-14-2002, 11:50 PM ok, im running a hp 9 (8.8) in the front with warn shafts and ctm joints......... now it seems (h8monday) has been destroying his 44 5 on 5 1/2 hubs.......... so i will most likely be goin through some hubs... as mine are the 5 on 4 1/2 style..... nope i didnt pick em this way got the axle used and cheap..... anyone got a clue on how and /or if i can slug this setup some way? High5 03-15-2002, 02:27 AM yeah, put stock yj/tj outers on it.:D TODDK 03-15-2002, 03:22 AM Rob, The hubs your only concern??? How about plates do away with the hubs? Turning will suck alittle, but with your money you could put in a ARB or an OX! later badassjeepguy 03-15-2002, 06:17 AM plates.............. splain some more....... Mo 03-15-2002, 06:21 AM aren't plates and slugs two different words for the same thing??? :confused: badassjeepguy 03-15-2002, 06:27 AM Originally posted by Mo aren't plates and slugs two different words for the same thing??? :confused: thats what im thinkin but where, would i get one for my style of hubs.... badassjeepguy 03-15-2002, 09:00 AM btt, anyone? bueler? Lloyd 03-15-2002, 09:34 AM If all else fails, I'm sure that a good machine shop could take one of your hubs and set up a wire to burn slugs. I'd guess they'd be ~$100 ea. for the first couple, but if you could identify other customers the price should go down. I'm guessing on the price; haven't had to pay for wire and setup time lately.

You do have to caluclate in the H8 factor. He uses the gas pedal as an on/off switch with 300hp on tap. That with a manual tranny, 4.3 Atlas and 38's is not a good combo. If you dont have that same style then dont worry about it and carry spare hubs. badassjeepguy 03-15-2002, 11:30 AM well i dont have 300 hp nor as low of gearing, but i aint afraid to use all i got... :D just trying to cover all areas.... allready have 2 spare hubs.... Dan-H 03-15-2002, 01:46 PM Originally posted by high5 yeah, put stock yj/tj outers on it.:D Warn outers won't fit into stock TJ hubs. Next suggestion. PYRO 03-15-2002, 02:06 PM Get a set of spyder gears and machine them into slugs. High5 03-15-2002, 05:34 PM Originally posted by Dan-H Warn outers won't fit into stock TJ hubs. Next suggestion. that is why i said "STOCK" outers. yes they are not warns but they have no locking hub either. twistedmetal 03-15-2002, 07:58 PM Are your hubs the external kind with the 6 bolts, or the internal kind with no exposed bolts like a Waggy? Chebby put 'em on the 3/4 ton external style from the factory. badassjeepguy 03-15-2002, 09:23 PM Originally posted by twistedmetal Are your hubs the external kind with the 6 bolts, or the internal kind with no exposed bolts like a Waggy? Chebby put 'em on the 3/4 ton external style from the factory. they are almost identical to the ford ranger hubs.... ya just slide em over the lugs, put the wheel on, and away you go.... TODDK 03-16-2002, 04:36 AM Rob sorry, Next time you are around my house I will show you what i mean I do think the slugs are the same, but we can double check my idea verse your idea. plus I always have some yuengling :beer: Dan-H 03-16-2002, 08:56 AM Originally posted by high5 That is why i said "STOCK" outers. yes they are not warns but they have no locking hub either. Ok, my bad, since the topic was HUBS not shafts, I thought you were suggesting stock TJ hubs with the alloy shafts. stock TJ outer shafts make no sense at all since most likely they would be the weak link and are spendy to replace. kinda defeats the purpose of the CTMs yes? badassjeepguy 03-16-2002, 09:17 AM ok i figured out what i want to do..... now i will see if the hubs last, if they dont, im 90% sure i got the solution..... Bindernut 03-17-2002, 05:12 PM I picked up a '78 F-250 drivetrain from a truck that burned down. The 44 in front has the bigger of the two 8-lug outers available, and the dual piston brakes. One of the locking hubs melted in the fire. I don't need to be able to unlock it for what I'm puttin' the axle in. Where can I get slugs that will work on this application? I can only assume that they'd cost a lot less than locking hubs (which I don't need or want) and are stronger. So, who sells them? Or am I stuck looking at Parking Lot Auto Supply? (j/k) :D | |
