I remember when you first posted the pics lol

 

Well today I put in some homemade discos and spraybombed under the jeep lol. Also my cb blew up so i went to miejer and bought a cobra 19.

 

Changed the diff fluid in class today. Omg I don't ever think it has been done before it was black here some pics before and after. Oh btw that explorer right there has 4.10 in the 8.8 I asked the instructer if I can buy it from the school he said no

 

Wheeling trip yesterday! Got a big dent in the rear quarter panal and broke the front ds staps. Time for a upgrade!

 

so went to the junk yard today to pull a 8.8, i found one with 4.10 and a lsd. got it all the way out but need to go back and cut some bolts off because they are on there. But im not 100% sure I should do the swap. what do you guys thing? my buddy says save the cash and just regear and i think hes right because im going to need alot of stuff for the 8.8 and im going to have to regear the front to 4.10 anyways and theres nothing wrong with my axle

 

You're lucky you have a nice shop to work in! >=(

 

Do you have an 8.25 or D35? D35... chunk it and go 8.8 all the way esp if your ever gonna run 35's. 8.25... compare prices between complete 8.8 swap and building an 8.25. Depending on the costs of each i would pick which one your more comfortable with and would be better long term. So like an 8.25 regear front and rear, locker wouldnt do LSD, and shafts maybe? Then the 8.8 swap with hardware, regear front. So i guess weigh your options and choose whichever works out best. BTW are you ever gonna go up to 35's after the Dura's wear out?

 

Get it and then whichever one you decide to run ill snag the other one off of ya haha

 

Also how did you steam the undercarriage? Id like to but the oil leak has spread and has now turned into BP spill level

 

I'll be running 35s soon enough. And i have a 8.25

 

Steam the undercarriage?

 

didnt you steam the undercarriage to clean it? maybe not you lol anyways i would do a cost benefit analysis and see how all your options weigh out for the axle upgrade

 

Nope.never steamed anything lol. Well the 8.8 is 150$ without rotors and calipers. So its about 80 for the calipera and rotors ( i work at a parts store I get stuff dirt cheap) then I need the u joint adapter and perches, gear oil brake pads, brake lines, paint, wheelspacers, and gears and a carrier for the front lol. To regear its like 450$ for my existing setup

 

washed her then did some body work

 

went to bundy hill last saturday
