work has begun

well slow progress today.

got the old axle out and got the new axle all torn down to clean up and inspect. tomorrow I will change u joints and put it back together. I also want to work on installing Jungle's frame bushings for the front

   poof....where'd it go?

We took a little trip to pick up not 1, not 2, but 3 D60's from a super nice guy Codi near Pipe Creek. He had a crew cab and poptop TD.  I think he had a 203 hatchery cause they were sprouting all over the place and he was trying to give them away. Lol

It was dark and raining when we got there so no pics yet.

Ryan getting after the 44HD front.  Long 3 days but the is nearly done.  One more day to get the back done.

Noah supervising the build.   

that thing looks good. so clean looking compared to what we have up here. i went to check out 4x4KLOWN's newest purchase today and i think here over spent to get a truck and didn't quite thoroughly inspect the rust damage to the cab just because he wanted to get back into a first gen so badly. i hate the rust we have to deal with up here.

someone has to supervise. this guy is usually my supervisor lol

so long day but the front is back together. we have all the parts and the rear should go much faster. the axle u joints were a major PITA... I think it took almost an hour just to remove the c clips lol

the rear we are using has some broken spider gears so we are just going to weld it all up until I have funds for a real locker.

Long productive weekend at Troxell automotive. Ryan's 8 lug axles are in and drive able.  Still needs a few things to make it 100% but it did drive out and load itself under its own power. Heck, Eric and I swapped in a front factory Warn bumper for him and Noah welded a receiver under it. Ryan didn't like the chrome but everyone there seemed to really like it. Since he is going to use a cradle mount winch, the factory winch cradle will become the recovery gear storage. 

Excellent work this weekend   

was a very long weekend... got home about midnight, but made it home safe.

now a lot more work to do still.

I am curious as to how our "lincoln locker" is going to work out.

Thanks for everyones help. 

I believe it actually was a Miller locker.

You need to post a pic of those HUGE rear drums.  They were awesome!!

Found some rims that will fit with 285/75/16's already on them.... $275 for all 4, I figured that was decent enough

Those will work well and keep your axles happy
