Looks good. Glad you were able to track down the right parts. Did you end up using the Ifs flange or s.a. Was just looking through the link to do it but not looking forward to breaking it down to do it. Coming along great. Keep the pictures coming I'm right behind you on my build . They all help, like they say a picture is worth a thousand words. And it's damb sure true when working somethings out for the first time
Im sure you tried it already but reading over the 4x4wire link it was saying 84-85 s.a. shafts use a larger bolt .With yours being out of an 85' did the flange patterns line up. Guess mine may b a pre 84'. Really digin how clean its coming out
Also thought of a cool idea, I am sure its been done before, I put a Grease fitting on both knuckles to pump grease into the knuckles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This should be in it's own thread... I've never seen anyone put grease fittings on their knuckles before! Great idea!!!!Only thing... How do you know their full without blowing out the seals?
Grease guns can produce over 15,000 psi while lip seals can fail at 500 psi.
So my power steering pump is leaking like no other, gotta put fluid in it every 2 days. I will replace it but not sure what I want to do yet. I want the TG pump kit but don't want to spend the money. But will a stock pump turn my 35s easily ? I haven't wheeled the truck yet due to weather so I don't really know what the stock pump can or can't do. But also like the idea of a remote revisor/filter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
are you running hydro assist, if not the stock pump should work fine
No hydro assist, all stock Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
are you locked up front, may be hard to steer locked, I'm only a 22re, running 35s,stock power steering. open front and have no issues
Open front and rear. Waiting to find a good deal on e lockers. And when I do have a front locker I probably won't use it unless it is needed. Just cause you can't really steer lol. My father in-laws jeep is impossible to steer with the front locked. I'll probably just go with a stock pump. I mean there $55 if it doesn't work oh well, sounds like it will work tho.

do you know for sure its the original third for that truck? if so, you can check the drivers door jam, should be a vin plate, look for something that says "a/tm" next to it as an example, would be "g292/w56" this would denote to g=8.0 gear, 29=4.10 ratio, 2= 2 pinion open diff. if the third is out you could mark gears, and count teeth as well
