Just me thinking out loud.... Didn't I send you a link to a front Dana 60 a little while back? :unsure:

Well I do have a Dana 60 sitting here.... But I'm not ready to build it YET...

I'll fix the HP44 for now since it's already built....

I just looked at the link again, and yeah... being spooled instead of a selectable locker would not be ideal... Pluss it's probably 8 lug.

Right now it'd take more money to get the Dana 60 I have built and ready to install under the Jeep... But when I do I'll be using the Currie unibearings that are 5 on 5.5" BP so I can keep my current wheels...
That and a 14 bolt with the Solid Axle hubs that narrow it 2.25" and are also 5 on 5.5" BP.

Got an email from Next Venture already today saying the truss is being shipped which is a nice surprise since their website said 1-2 weeks lead time. So hopefully I'll have it around the time I get the Jeep back home.
Figure 1-2 days to pull the front axle off and then another 1-2 days to get it prepped and cleaned up to start fitting the new truss onto it.
So maybe a 7-10 day project?

2 to 3 weeks minimum. You forgot to include time for all the unexpected crap you'll have to fix once you have it apart, never-mind the "might as well as... since I'm in here anyway..." stuff. Then there'll be the added time to acquire the parts and maybe additional tools needed for THAT as well... ;) :D

I was trying to be optimistic... But yes it'll turn into a lot longer than I figure project...
I hopefully have all the tools I'll need... Not that I'll opt out of buying new tools to play with.

Not a HUGE deal other than to me...

Mark from one of the 8274 groups on FB finally got a good enough photo of the sticker for my version of the 8274 to make a repo of it.

So finally my Warn winch will be finished...

He charges $12.50 shipped per sticker...

Nice bumper BTW..... Almost hate parting with it...

It was definitely made to fit a roller fairlead and not the Warn aluminum hawse.. I had to do a little trimming on the end of the aluminum on the left side (driver's) to get it to fit. But I'm pretty happy with it!

Got a reply back from ORO too about my order for new height sensors. Might be a few before I get them from the sounds of it as he's out of stock right now.

But he's also given me some more troubleshooting checks to try and diagnose my issues with the AiRock. So a little more work that I'll be doing.

Now if I'd just get a message that the spring shackles are here for the trailer so I can go fix it & bring it home.
