[mikedashg]

What's with the 4.10 gears? Nobody does 4.10 gears anymore. 4.56 at least.

BTW, is that the tie rod or an axle tube? :D Looks BEEEEEEFY! :worship:

Don't need 4.56's with a stroker.. Its got plenty of low end grunt..

[swbooking]

Damn Scott, looks really good. :thumbup:

[praetorian]

Very cool bro, makes me want to ditch my 30.

[hellbilly04]

about time you got off your arss & got that thing together:D

[xjfrankie]

Scott, that looks b!tc%in'!

[hellbilly04]

BTW how much caster you running? I see you wrote 17 deg on the axle tube in one of the pics. That might be 10 deg too much..

17* at zero pinion angle.. the pinion angle I have measured on the D30 is around 10*. So 7* caster..

Thanks for the donor info. How are you going to do the upper control arm mounts above the pumpkin? I've read that that area can be risky to weld on.

[hellbilly04]

He is doing a 3 link with the UCA on the an the pass side tube

[Clean Racing]

Well after some time spent last week finally tacked the Inner "C" on the axle tube with the desired camber/caster angle for the approximated pinon angle or 12*.. I got bored and pulled the jeep down.. removed the old axle and arms, and just slid the new one under to start the madness... Just placed another order with ballistic fab for some new joints and tube adapters...

[karstic]

Dang and I thought you had that thing done.

[Clean Racing]

well still not done but making baby steps lately.. been trying to keep the wife happy so I don't end up divorced.. I need to either lower the frame side of the track bar or raise the axle side up to get it parallel to the drag link.. I need to get master Billy over to have a look soon.. Now to do the darn upper link mount..

Update PIC (http://picasaweb.google.com/Scott.Tell/Jeep#5380218252787640034)

[xjjeeper19]

It looks like a Ruffstuff.

Scott, if it makes you feel any better, there is still no gearset in your old D30.... I have everything to do it, just lazy.

[Shomsky462]

i was just wonderin if he was gonna be runnin anything bigger with the new 44 and 9".

thats a sweet lookin rig

[Clean Racing]

Using the stock Ford hubs and Rotors, with small bearing Jeep spindles and the flat tops came off a jeep J10.. basically the same as GM stuff.. Lots of good info on this set up over on Pirate with MR N.

I am staying with 33" tires because with my lift they tuck in the fenders without trimming.. that and I am going back to 4.10's, because the stroker has so much grunt I was over geared with 4.56's.. that and my fuel economy is crap maybe 14.. I am trying to build it reliable and get better economy from a brick..

[Clean Racing]

Well another update, since Christmas I have had time to work on this.. Maybe I will have it all said and done by Feb...:laugh:

Now that you have the test fit finished, I will bring my Jeep over for the final install!!!

Looks awesome dude!

[praetorian]

Have you done any mods to your brake master cylinder to account for the larger Dana 44 calipers? By the way, looks sweet.

[Clean Racing]

Have you done any mods to your brake master cylinder to account for the larger Dana 44 calipers? By the way, looks sweet.

I am running the WJ master booster and had the WJ dual piston brakes on the last set up. The stock d44 calipers are 2.94" piston and had a 13/16" bore master. So I am ok with a 1" bore master since the wj is 25mm which is 1" bore.. With the wilwood dual 2" bore pistons its should be a good combination.. I will soon find out.. either a hero or just another zero...:D

[s7tech]

It looks better in person. Thanks for your help tonight Scott. Greatly appreciated. And thanks to you also, if you read this MJR.

[djblade311]

uh oh...need to replace those rusty coils! everything else is too shiny :) so is that ballistic fab steering with D44 high steer?

[Clean Racing]

Well I was going to get them re-powdercoated but ran out of cash for that stuff.. The steering was a ballistic kit, but the tie rod ends they supplied were total crap, so I got the ones from PSC instead.. Blue Torch Fab high steer arm, because Dan builds awesome stuff for a fair price.. Slowly but shirley it will get done..
