Here are some pic's of my 14 bolt that we shaved.
Before:

After:

Looks like a big chunk will be coming of the ring gear. But its only behind a 4L and will see limited trail/comp use.

HOLY HELL!!!

When you get done turning the ring gear down, post pics. I always wondered what a hula-hoop thickness ring gear would look like. :rasta: :flipoff2:

Got FF D44? You do - or the clearance of one, anyways.

Holy shit dude...

YOu cut a hell of alot off.. gonna be interesting to see how your ring gear looks...

 

[Supergper]

WOW...thats going to be close to the carrier too if you are going to jsut straight plate it...here is a pic...see what I mean...

 

[Todd W]

I overlayed your shaved pic with the original, and drew this plate over the shaved, then removed shaved pic and left line over stock..

 

[Todd W]

It's FOR SURE going to be very close to the carrier...

I`d hope you measured before you hacked ALL that off???

 

[Blitzed]

This pic is close to where it will be

compare to this

 

[Todd W]

Wow I don't think we need it 3 times, I layed it over, and drew the line exactly where he cut it...

None of our lines are perfect since the case is not a box it slants back... so none are right... I think he's going to miss the carrier but its gonna be damn close...

Oopps i guess the pics did get out of hand. The pic that 94 put up was way to high. I think i will use 3/4 for the plate and mill the center part down to 1/2 for for the ring gear/carrier.

 

[Todd W]

Blitzed - Ya I figured my marking was way high but I overlayed the 'shaved' with your non shaved pic... It's the angle

I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done :bounce2:

Kinda what I figurd you would do there... the additional .25" should easily clear the carrier, and leave you with at least some of the ring gear

 

[GirlfriendYJ]

what about the diff cover...when you shave them down that much...how are you doing the diff covers?? any pics of those??

 

[Spank]

Wow

I'm glad to see you didn't cut "just a little".

 

[mytzlflick]

when you get this done could you send me a few pics and let me know how it holds up because I have been trying to figure out how much I can shave a 70 ring gear and its about the same thing

 

[Blitzed]

I will keep thing posted as we get it built. I wanted to try for the most extream cut yet, since I like to be different. I thought hey why not 14bolts are cheap and if it holds up then cool, if not well looks like I'm out $100 and some time. It will be going under a YJ with a 4L/aw4/300 and 42" TSL's, for this year. We are doing another one the same way that will be going under a 7 with a FI 350 42" TSL's and a heavy foot. I think that one will be the real test.
