I was researching some tech and see the last few pics in your foto page show a front HP 44 getting cut down. Just wondering if that is a project for your rig? Jeff

Yep. '73 HP D44 shortened to use '80-83 Wagoneer inners.
It's going to get an OX locker, 5.13s, hi steer, WARNs or Superiors, and OX joints. Still gotta get the axle shafts, knuckles, hubs, brakes, and hi steer arms. Have just about everything else right now though.

5.13s? Are 35s a prospect?

I don't know what I was thinking because all that stuff has been proven that it doesn't work.

I'm gonna make ones that won't bend.

Yep, because my current 4.56s won't be low enough.

Gonna try the OX joints to be different? or what? Have you heard about Longfield's new 300M joints? Check 'em out if you haven't.

I went with the OX joints because they were cheap(comparatively).

Very nice... Thinking about doing this myself... Given the different widths for HP44's, how did you determine how much to narrow?

Have you seen the breakages that have already occured? Not trying to hasta just curious, 'cause the "regular" longfield joints are only $80 and you know Matt broke a warn shaft with one and it looked unscathed.

Find out the length of the inner axle shafts you want to run and subtract that measurement from the length of the stock inner axle shafts that are in the housing you want to narrow.

To make it easy to find inners, you can always source out Waggy inners and go from there; plenty of spares for that application.

Yes, on Pirate, had pretty pictures with it too. Anyway, was just playing devil's advocate.
