Well I have a couple of questions for the build up of my CJ8.

Axles I have now on the 8, D-30 & AMC20.

I passed up on the Scouts, I had some others lined up but that fell through also.

1. I have a AMC20 w/ trac loc (it was stamped, I haven't opened the cover) that was given to me, how do I know if it's good & if it is good should I use it?

2. If I keep the AMC20 I was thinking about getting the Warn Full Floaters.

3. I have a D-30 that I am thinking about getting the beefed up axles for, should I?

4. I am going to put lockers in the front no matter which axle I get.

5. I don't want to spend a bunch of $$ but I need a good stout axle, I only have 5 grand to finish the build.

**6.** I would like a direct bolt up so I don't waste more time, I just bought a new compressor & some new air tools & the mig welder is coming tomorrow.

I need alittle help here.

Thanks,
RollBar

I ended up just recently finding a D44 fron adn D60 rear out of a 1978 Jseries truck I am going to swap in now

Excellent Paul, Thanks.

? Does anyone have a D-60 F&R or a D-44 front.

I may have a guy w/a D-44 F/R out of a waggy would they be strong enough? (yes I know but had to ask).

THE main reason I ask is that I'm going to set this JeeP up as a CERT/JRO Jeep & I don't want to worry about my axles.

I have to buy new rims anyway (I have some 6 lug but their not new).

Signed,
RollBar that has rolled 1 time to many. :shock:
