Well I dont have nearly as much time as I need to get my CJ back together and on the trails. So for the time being I am picking up an MJ long bed. My plans are 4.5" Coils SOA in the rear run 33-35" tires Probably 33 for now b.c I have them, and i will probably end up Bobbing the bed.

I have a D44 already for the rear with a limited slip, and I am picking up an HP dana 30 for the front with matching gears.

One question i have, Is there a way to convert the front to manual locking hubs with out buying the $800 warn kit. Are there other vehicles i could scavange parts of of with manual hubs, and keep the 5x4.5 bolt pattern?



Here is a very quick photoshop of what my goal is

The body on the one i am picking up is not nearly as clean, but that is what will make it a good trail rid. And the factory wheelbase is 119" Which i hope is not TOO long but i guess i will see

No you can't mix/match stock parts to get hubs and keep 5 on 4.5. But you could sell that d44 you have for more than enough money to buy a pair of waggy axles or such. Or buy an EB 9" for the rear and put ford or dodge d44 outers on the d30, as long as the d30 uses the 297 size joints.

Hmm, Thanks Thats what i figured.

I actually know of a free set of waggy Dana 44's maybe i should go grab them, I just dont know what gearing is in them. This is an attempted very budget build, But you know how that goes.

regear is cheaper than I thought. Randy's sells Carriers for the D44 for $55. Then gear sets were about $150.

Not bad. Better than I thought.
