Since I can't get to working on the Valiant, I started building the axles for my buggy project. I've got a pair of D44 axles from an 86 Grand Wagoneer. I've already installed a set of 5.38 gears and Detroit EZ locker in the rear and started working on the front. A buddy of mine is trading me a full spool for one of my lockers so the rear will be coming apart so that I can get the spool installed back there.
I picked up a high output 4.0 and AW4 combo back in October and picked up two NP231 t-case that I am going to build a doubler with.
Here are some pics.
The rear axle set up (going to get reset after I get the spool)
As it stands right now, the rear axle has had all the brackets cut off, is cleaned up and has a couple coats of primer on it. The front is half apart.
Everything is on hold for now though as I am rebuilding/regearing a guy 5 axles right now. 1 F*$d 8.8, 1 C#&$y 14B, 2 front D60s and 1 Curries Rock Jock rear axle.
I've also got a friend that has a F$*d 8.8 rear axle for his YJ that has all the brackets cut off and is primered that I will be rebuilding for him along with a front D44 out of a Grand Wagoneer.... as soon as I find one.
