Nice work, looks great ❤!!!!

Great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, there’s a lot of valuable information in your video. ❤

Hey there! Great content! Are you interested in vehicle lighting stuff sponsorship?

Is it possible for the e locker wiring to be run up the vent tube and out at the engine compartment? It may need to be drilled out at the housing to accept a larger diameter vent hose. Is that another easier possibility?

Please dont ever do this for anything that will be on the road regularly.

Good to know. I have a jkur.

My screw in studs backed out. Red locktight and a spot weld.

Looking brand new again.

Are you in Washington state?

Are you going to show this axle finished?

How does that dana 44 have locking hubs?

Awesome! Man, 35 years ago, I remember the rear 60 built just like his was the Hot Shiznit !! Junkyard parts swapping with a little machine work was what we did as wheelers..... Nowadays, everybody just follows the big buck herds and has more money in their axles / suspension than I have in my own entire (really dialled in) rig. Wheeling used to be a fun gearhead hobby, now it is a mass market "sport" Nice work!

Really nice ! I was just out in Moab for EJS (my first time back in 20 years) and it seems that the world is all about four-dees or bigger on "Tons" and links...(I mean, you can't run any of the big trails without at least Dana 60's..........Well Right????). I ran Pritchett Canyon, Cliffhanger, Rusty Nail, and a bunch of other trails on 31" pizza cutters. My friends an I shocked a lot of these big new late comers with how our little rigs could climb those stair cases and walls. Nice to see this old school tech and attitude here !!

A way to cut straight is put a hose clamp on and saw/ cut off wheel. If you pull the tune out of the housing then it will need machined outside to fit back in and a new inner seal surface on the inside.

They are called transfer punches.

Fireball has a great channel as well!

Wasn’t sure where this was going. But glad I stayed around. I have a couple of these axles sitting around. I’ll have to keep this in mind.

Great video and good information on builds you do. Thank you for your time and effort in making these videos.

Now I’m feeling guilty for junking an early J-Truck front D44 when I swapped in an open knuckle D44 from a Dodge!

Thank you for taking the time to educate us. The more I google and research, the more I realize there's alot of ideas and tricks people aren't willing to share. Kinda like the KFC 7 herbs and spices.

This is the kind of how to video I wish everyone did them like....... well done!!

This is great info and would love to know more about your suggestion to get in touch with you to build an axle combo for a customer. I dont see an email to reach out to you. I am looking to buy a dana 60 or similar for an 1983 CJ7. I would like the axle to be wider than what is on there now,,,so I am looking for options like you suggest. Thank you.

Very good information I tow a 1974 CJ five with a Dana 44 behind a motorhome need to have lockouts on rear so does not hurt transfer case just trying to figure out what I need to do to gets me heading in the right direction to add spindles thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to do videos on the old style jeeps . I have a cj5 I want to put a Dana 44 in after a couple projects keep up the good work can’t wait till next video!

Why not just put the breather in the cover

Yeah, I am glad to see this. I am surprised the number of fully built front axles that don't have this change. Nothing wrong with taking off the C by grinding out the weld. Yes, this can cut into the axle tube and the C. Which is actually a good thing. The space will be filled with weld which gives the joint more weld than factory. This more weld and penetration into the axle tube and the C makes it stronger.

And this is why I chose using an auto locker instead.

Air lockers also require an air system so if you don't want to mess with that AND the expense of that system E-Locker for the win

Getting ready to do this, I have the pucks and bar. After you tack it up in your eight places are you leaving the bar in while you do your root/welding? Because of it moves, you might not be able to get the bar out.

I like your idea with the handle pin latch. If you put the pin latch on the swing out instead of the bumper, then it becomes a true one-handed latch, since you have control of the swing out when you have the T in your hand.

Having done one 20 years ago. I would also cut down the drivers side as much as possible to move it for more drive shaft clearance. Just saying . But good info.

Good info 👍🏼

Great job Sir. Keep the videos coming!!!

What would this run a customer?

You welded down hill b/c ?
