The axles are nice to work on,we re-did my sons Toy last year(SAS,full crossover steering,lockers,4.88's,etc).The 3rd member uses spanners not shims for the carrier.And since you get to work with it on a nice comfortable small bench/table!!!

Whats going on with this swap? Where are the pics? :repair:

 

[2000bluexj]

i keep forgetting the camera! i promise i will get some tomorrow. I got a third member and installed it, 4.10's for now open diff. gunna regear to 4.88's and lock it b4 the axle goes in. will be a while till that i think. this being a daily driver, it needs to be built b4 i swap it in. I got the third member installed, will probably start cleaning up the housing, cutting all unnecessary brackets off. The brakes need to come off because im gunna try using rodeo disks for a disk conversion. Pictures tomorrow! I promise!

pictures should be up later tonight. My plan is to get the brakes apart and start cleaning up the housing.

Well, i finally got some work done. Was going to post pictures last night, but my battery on the laptop died and i left the power cord at the shop, didnt realize it till i got home. So, on to the pics.

Third member came in from Cali. Bought used from someone in pirate4x4. Its open with 4.10 gearing. Im gunna regear to 4.88's havent deicded what i want for a locker yet. Prob a detroit. But, if a deal comes along, i will trade this one for an elocker diff. Just have to modify the housing a little bit.

Installed the diff to make sure it fit the housing and to keep the junk out of it while i was cutting some of the brackets off.

Took the drums off and cut the backing plates off. I will be converting to disks hopefully with rodeo rear disks. Same bolt pattern and iternal parking brake on the caliper. When i got down to the yard to get me another rear housing for the front hybrid i will grab those. Should be soon,

All those brackets need to come off. So.......

Out came the grinder and a cutoff disk. This was the last one i had, so thats it for now. Ill try and finish cleaning up the housing this weekend and post some more pictures up. Here is a link to my photobucket album in case the pictures dont work.

Well, i think have changed my mind for the third member. im gunna get an elocker third and modify the housing for it to fit. i went through some quick numbers and it seems to me that it will be cheaper doing the elocker. It would save me some coin. Havent decided on 4.56's or 4.88's due to the the fact i havent figure out what i want to run. The good news is i can get an elocker third with 4.56's so if i want to change gears im not lsing any more cash. I hope to have more pictures up of the housing tomorrw. Planning on shaving it/adding a 1/4 inch skid to the bottom eliminating the bottom drain plug.
