I finally got around to working on the jeep this weekend again. Front end is assembled, 10 bolt (yeah i know :flipoff2: ) Moser shafts and CTM's. Working on the block, it has a leak in one cylinder. I put 2 o-ring grooves and having LA sleeve build a wet sleeve for it. Frame is blasted and painted shackle reversal, rear spring hangers in the frame also. Someday it will have an Atlas II, alum body and other stuff. Sometimes i wonder why I took it apart????????

I'm curious. It looks like you spent a good bit of time and effort on that axle. Why'd you go with the 10 bolt?

Noticed you are in Auburn, if you want a 44, pm me, I got one cheep. If not, oh well, read the next one.

Looks good, that front axle looks like it has some time and TLC put into it.

You need to replace that diet pepsi with a miller....genuine draft that is.

I already had it from the previous build. So it was cheaper to upgrade to Moser/CTM than buying and modifying a D60. Not exactly a Camo 60 but it'll work for awhile.

Why would he want a 44?? That axle is almost the exact same as a 44. Well anyway thats a good looking 10 bolt, nothing wrong with using one, just the same as someone else using a 44 fornt end.

Troy,
You haven't killed that Jeep yet?

Brent (you'll remember me from Tech....think hard)

I'm diggin' the forklift/axlehoist/workbench.... that's nice. I have used a hyster as a lift before, works great. Good looking 10 bolt btw. I'm going to be running a 10 bolt front in my wagoneer for a while, I just don't have funds for a 60 yet, and I have the 10 bolt and shafts are free, so why not? ....

I can't think that hard it hurts my brain. BTW-tires are grooved more now, and rear axle is apart waiting for new bearings(tomorrow).

Tires grooved.

 

[MTUCJ7]

Think this pinion will hold up?:flipoff2:

 

[MTUCJ7]

This is kind of weird, but it seems that the original bearing is missing 3 rollers. Cost savings or lack of quality control???

rolling chassis..

is that an easton rear?

 

[MTUCJ7]

is that an easton rear?

Yup. I pulled it out of my dads 63 Chevy truck. It has 4.57 gears and a factory detroit. I narrowed the housing about 12" and had Moser make the shafts.

OK this project is taking about a year longer than I had hoped.
Short block is done.
