I just finished a cross country handshake with Badassjeepguy, that will have my new D60 project traveling towards Cali, next week. :bounce:
The axle is an HP, kingpin version.
I have already talked with Jack at CTM, about fabbing new 300m axle shafts splined at both ends to accept custom 300M yokes. Of course it will also have CTM joints. I will either use an ARB, or an Eaton E locker. Probably go to full hydraulic double ended ram steering.
It wont be a rushed project since the D44 is doing just fine, but I will get started on it right away.
Ill probably complete the axle over the next couple of months, but wont swap till the end of Summer when I hand the Jeep over to Mike Shaffer and Bob Roggy for some modifications.

I cant believe how cheap Forward air is right now. $33 per 100 lbs from Chicago to Sacramento(less than $140 for shipping a D60 across the country).

I gotta thank BAJG for the fair deal, and the extra effort to crate it up and send it on its way.

So was this jsut as insurance? Or are you getting worried about the D44? After watching the way you abuse yours, I was assured that I made the right decision by going with clearance and weight vs. stock strength.

I know! I had F/R Yota axles shipped from TN to MO last fall and it was only $150 or $170 and I think the weight w/ the crate was 750-800 pounds! :eek:

Good luck on the new "project 60"

" im rob steffey, and thats why im planning on running dyna's because i fawkin want to... i dont have a shit load of $$$$ but i will find it somehow / way and get the axles I want...."

I think that possibly answers what he is schemeing...... :cool2:

The thing that I'm confused about is why the axle is shipping from Chicago to CA?

I'm curious about this too, since you've been one of the largest CTM/44 proponents...
Is this a keeping up with the Jones', or just insurance to not break in the comps?
