    Fabricated 9s build

    After pricing it out I'm leaning more towards Gearworks 10"

    Fabricated 9s build

    Not from my research. They have some designs in place to help with the oiling

    Fabricated 9s build

    05+ Superduty Unit bearings. The unit bearings should be just fine on the street, they come from the factory on a high-pinion 60. The 9" is just as strong maybe stronger than a 60 due to the fact that there are 3 pinion bearings supporting the pinion, and with the addition of load bolts there...

    Fabricated 9s build

    TrueHi9 MegaHi9 up front and a low pinion rear. Looking at potentially running Gearworks 10" too. The problem is that no one has gear sets for the 10" right now.

    Fabricated 9s build

    Yeah 99-04 has more hub options but you are limited to 1480 ujoints, 05+ I could run 1550 joints or if I ever get froggy, RCV Big Bells. The other added benefit to 05+ is I can run factory unit bearings and brakes for ease of replacement parts if there is a breakage.

    Fabricated 9s build

    Started the parts collection to build some fabricated 9s for the LJ. Where I am hung up is do I go with a factory-style super duty inner c and knuckle combo or the fabricated inner/outer knuckle combo? Full Hydro or Hydro assist? Some street driving but not too much. Occasional drive to work...

    Muddy Tuna My 05 LJ build

    Yes external sleeves, Clayton truss, Artec c-gussets. A lot of work but less than 1/2 of what an upgraded housing would have cost. Trying to find ORIs in stock but coil-overs will be ordered within the next week or so if I can't find ORIs.

    Muddy Tuna My 05 LJ build

    I need to update this more often. The little bit of stretch turned into 7" in the rear and close to 2" up front. Not alot of visible progress but there's been a ton of measuring, moving, cutting, cycling, axle in, axle out, drilling, and more measuring. I have cut the front housing up to...

    Muddy Tuna My 05 LJ build

    I made some good progress this weekend. Dropped the transfer case skid and the gas tank to gain more access also removed the factory exhaust. I was able to get the rear axle stripped of all the brackets, the Genright Adult jigsaw puzzle 4-link bracket kit welded up. Had a buddy help me get...
