Traveling for work, and some things changing on the Jeep!

[Kiefer316]

So last week I got asked if I wanted to go to the Phoenix branch. And for those who don't know what I do for work, I drive a front end loader at the place called Insurance auto auctions. Been there for 4 years as of this upcoming February.

Anyways! I will be gone till Friday. But, this is the first time I've gotten to go. Since I have been asking for about a year and a half. They wouldn't let me though cause we were super busy. Just wanted to tell you guys since I haven't been on here for a while.

Also building a 73 ford HP Dana 44, and the 9 inch from the same truck. Starting to get things together just need brakes for all 4 corners, all the little stuff for the spindles. Will be running just the drivers high steer arm. And putting the tie rod on top on the knuckles. Diff cover up front ( may use the Crane one on my rear 44. 5.13 gears which I have a line on some. ARB up front and gonna run the factory locker/limited slip. Seemed like it still worked. Eventually gonna go with a yukon grizzly locker. Gonna just run the stock shafts for now till tax season gonna go with Rcvs. And yukons or another brand.

I hope the trip goes well!

The biggest difference I have seen between the front and rear covers is the position of the fill plug. The high pinon, front axles have the plug set higher than the rear axle's cover. I don't remember if the low pinion front axles have the plug set higher or not.

I looked up some of my old pictures, the low pinion does indeed have the fill plug sitting lower in the cover.

Most aftermarket covers have the full plug in the HP position
