hey dustin i have some mile marker manual d-35 hubs...

 

[disciplerocks]

How much?

 

[86 slo-vo]

$50 will take them

 

[disciplerocks]

Done. Text me next time you are in town. Or I'll come down once I get a rear axle and have you weld it.

 

[86 slo-vo]

sounds good...

 

[disciplerocks]

I found some 32x11.5x15 mud tires with 1/4 tread on CL for $100. You all think I should get them, or save up for new ones?

 

[disciplerocks]

Update: D35 swap done!

Picked up my driveshaft from 2nd Chance Driveline and it fit perfectly. Shortened and new joint installed.

Not a very good poser shot, but its the best I could do before it got too dark.

And this is why I need new hubs. It works, but I need channellocks to lock them lol.

I'm thinking about getting chevy leafs, but not doing the shackle flip. Getting an Explorer 8.8. And then leaving the leafs under the axle. I wonder where that would put me?

 

[B2Guy]

looks good man.. just wonder. why would you keep the springs under the 8.8 rather on top? its more to hang your axle up on...

 

[disciplerocks]

Just a thought. Seems like I wouldn't have to do as much work (shackle flip, spring mount relocated, shock mounts added)

 

[disciplerocks]

Got a L/S 3.73 8.8 pulled today. Dropped off at Greg's to have the perches relocated.

 

[B2Guy]

man, you've got this project goin in high gear. i see you decided to run the leafs on top.

Nice job so far. You're moving fast with this thing!!!

 

[disciplerocks]

Well I broke the front axle so I want to get it back in the mud asap. I have a goal at the moment. I will slow down after that, money won't allow me to keep going.

 

[disciplerocks]

man, you've got this project goin in high gear. i see you decided to run the leafs on top.

Yeah it was just an idea I was throwing around.

 

[B2Guy]

Yeah it was just an idea I was throwing around.

yea, i used to have a 01 explorer and for a while i just had about 4"s of lift and 33's i used to hit the ubolts and shock mounts on a ton of rocks. i eventually went with a sas to cure the problem haha...

 

[disciplerocks]

Just some prices for those that are curious.

Superlift brackets $100

brake lines and tee $35

entire D35 axle including manual hubs, calipers, radius arms, driveshaft, and steering linkage $90

entire 8.8 explorer axle including drums, driveshaft, and core $70

shortened front drivshaft and new u-joint $42

 

[B2Guy]

thats come good deals man! are you lookin to buy extended arms or build your own?

 

[disciplerocks]

I dont know. Manufactured ones are pricey and I don't own a welder.

 

[B2Guy]

i dont have a welder either. im just collecting all the pieces cutting everything and bringing everything to a local shop to get it all welded up.

do you have any pictures of the extended brake lines you got from autozone? id like to see them.
