Well, yes I do drive a Jeep. The toyota's are nice though. I live in NC and am looking for an 8" rear axle, complete. Anyone have one lying aroung they are trying to get rid of?

What up?.finally another Jeep owner on the board.Welcome $Beer Chug\'n$ .

Tool Guy · « **Reply #3 on:** Sep 10, 2004, 03:49:02 PM »

look for a Ford 9" instead.

Cherokee91red · « **Reply #4 on:** Sep 10, 2004, 09:35:51 PM »

The ford 9 is another choice of mine that is high up, but the 8" would serve my purpose for awhile, I just figured being a toyota board the 8's would be more popular.

Yo yo Cherokee91red,are you looking for a Toyota 8 inch,or a Ford 8.8 inch?...I would look for a Dana 44,out of another xj.(direct bolt in),and a pretty strong axle.Or an 8.8 inch out of a Ford Explorer,with disk brakes.

SWAMPER · « **Reply #8 on:** Sep 11, 2004, 08:31:49 AM »

But if you really want a Toy 8" (Ive heard that strength wise there neck to neck with the D44's) I would get one from a newer V6 truck or 4Runner

iNfErNaL · « **Reply #9 on:** Sep 11, 2004, 02:11:54 PM »

Yeah,but a dana 44 would a bolt in deal,and he would have the same lug pattern.

Cherokee91red · « **Reply #10 on:** Sep 12, 2004, 06:23:13 PM »

The XJ 44's are bolt in, but the yota 8" have a better clearance and are just as if not stronger than an XJ44. Plus the 6lug pattern is more to my liking with strength concerns. The 8.8 was an idea but it's wms-wms is shorter by a couple inches. I would rather have full width if I can find the 9". Plus, whats all the fun with a bolt-in? I can't do anything the easy way.

Ah hallllllrighty then.Sorry there Mr.Cherokee91red....

WELCOM TO THE BOARD, I SEE YOUR A JEEP OWNER LIKE MY BRO(INFERNALJEEP)SO WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING, 33's??GEARS? LOCKERS?WHAT MOTOR YOU GOT?ANY GOOD MODS?

Cherokee91red · « **Reply #13 on:** Sep 13, 2004, 02:24:17 AM »

I'm riding a 4in Rubicon lift. 31's, hacked fenders, can fit 33's. Rustys' t-case skid. Rocky Road Outfitters rock sliders. Custom 4x4 Fab front winch bumper. Custom made bed in back. Right now I'm at a stopping point and looking for another vehicle. My next step, why I need a second vehicle, is Hp44 front, rear axle TBD, 4.56 or 4.88 gears. True-trac up front, Aussie or detroit in the rear. Tom Woods HD SYE. All that is going to be done at once so I need the other car to get around while the Jeeps in my back yard.

Sweet.....finally got to see it.... $Beer Chug\'n$

I would get some M/T's though

Cherokee91red · « **Reply #23 on:** Sep 16, 2004, 07:15:53 PM »

Yea, im waiting for my new axles, and regear, then im goin 33's, probably MTR's

SWAMPER · « **Reply #24 on:** Sep 16, 2004, 08:48:39 PM »

Cool...im looking into getting myself a set of 33's while I get enough money for a lift

all im going to do is either get a 2" body lift or crank up the TB's and add coilspacers

Cherokee91red · « **Reply #25 on:** Sep 17, 2004, 08:22:17 AM »

I know I don't have a yota, and I own a unibody, but I would not recommend you install a body lift. It does allow more tire room but it doesn't increase flex and by lifting the body off the frame if you're in a wreckl the body can fly right off, leaving a frame rolling down the road. I know people this has happened to.

SWAMPER · « **Reply #26 on:** Sep 17, 2004, 08:30:20 AM »

Aw 2" arent too much....and Im getting HD bumpers...so if they hit me...my frame will be the one taking it

DAWGTOY · « **Reply #27 on:** Sep 17, 2004, 09:55:03 AM »

hi and welcom to the board.
i'm from nc also (shelby). on the dana subject i have front and rear 44s out of a scout II
that i would be intrested in selling. if you are intrested pm me and mabe we can hook up
or at least wheel togather.

iNfErNaL · « **Reply #28 on:** Sep 18, 2004, 01:50:23 AM »

Hey Swamper,the whole thing about people saying,"the body can fly right off,leaving a frame rolling down the road",is a bunch of BS :bull crap:.....I've had friends that have ran 1 and 2 inch bodylifts,and wheeled pretty hard,and have never seen this happen......I think the only way this would be possible is if you attached the blocks with bubble gum instead of the bolts.....Or if you were driving at 290 miles per hour

,into the side of a semi trailer....If you need the clearence to run you 33s,I would crank the torsions,and add the coil spacers in the rear.I'd try to stay away from the BL,but not for the above reason..I just dont like them,but if that's what you decide to go with,,,cool.
