How can be tmobile be expensive when you work? You got a income. A phone bill is the least of my worries and I don't have a income. The things you do don't make sense sometimes. But neither do mine.

People have other priorities than a phone bill. Don't be so quick to judge.

Morning everyone. I'm looking to start selling of a few Jeep things here after work dried up. Might even need to sell the Jeep.

Check out the custom fabricated inclometer and tilt gauge. I've posted before selling for $50, now $20 as I need to feed the family.

Well, I have $300 rent, $200 car insurance, $150 life/health insurance, atleast $200 in gas each month, 2 CC payments(books, and part of my wheels), And buying food for the house, so when its between not paying an important bill my $110 phone bill gets put on the back burner. I do have a good amount of income coming in, but it goes right back out the same day. And like you said, a phone is the least of my worries, i dont care if I have one or not, anyway its only to the point where I cant make calls but can still recieve them, so im not completly impossible to get a hold of, plus everywhere has wifi so I still get to use it

And I pushed the hood vents back a lil, but I should be starting and finishing the bumper this week

Hey guys, I need a little advice. A friend offered to sell me a Dana 60 for $100. Thing is. It came from a 97 f250. Which means it would need narrowing, re-gearing, the mounting points would need to be relocated and I think there was something else... Anyway, is this worth it? How much would all that set me back? Where would I go to have all that machine work done.

Hey tom, I actually found out my neighbor has one in his shop im just gonna take it over there, thanks though. Any one need d ring tabs? Made from 1x3?

It all depends on what you want to do with the jeep? If you just want to throw it under the jeep for just to say you had a narrowed 60 its not worth it, without a matching front. If you plan on running bigger then 35 its not worth it you can build a 8.8 or even a 8.25 that will handle a 35 no problem sometimes even bigger.
The 8.25 is bolt it and can be found with limited slip and gears you already need.
The 8.8 not bolt it but simply still. Plus side already disc brakes, usually 3.73 or 4.10 gears with factory limited slip. Axle tube have been know to spin.
Or d44 out of a older 87-89 with the towing package ,bolt it, in some cases limited slip and gears from 3.55 to 4.56
All are good upgrade from a d35

Also don't forget you would need to buy a 8 lug wheel. Seems like 97 is right around the time they switched to the metric bolt pattern to, which makes it harder to find wheels. Also if its disc brakes you need to run a 17" wheel. Assuming its for the rear I would be looking for a Ford 8.8 with the 31 spline axles as they are almost as strong as a D60, only bad thing is they are a C-clip axle and just a touch narrower, but they use the same wheels as the Jeep. Odds are unless your running 35s or larger you would never hurt it. You can find the 8.8 for 100-200 bucks as well.

Alright, I read a lot last night and it looks like a very expensive setup. I can't justify spending more than the jeep is worth on an axle. I think I will just look for something easier to bolt in. Thanks for the advice.
