in my local forum i asked for a used dana 30 for cheap..or free...

1 hour later i have 3 offers...for free

i already have 3 of them...

one is of an xj.....but it has a broken upper control arm....
second one is of a yj...but has the knuckles..
and
third one is of a tj with the axle shafts....

this is my question..should i?...

put everything on the dana 30 of the tj..which is a lp and regear it.....or..should i get an aftermarket bracket for the dana 30..weld it on the hp 30 and regear it as well...

plans change...a bit...

now this is whats happening

4.56s front and back open difs and 35s...

my brother is keeping the cherokee...my dad is going to buy me a tj once i find the right one....so thats it by now...

Dont run a LP d30, especially at your height.

 

[elnino]

meaning buy a bracket and weld it on it?

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

fix the HP 30 and run the TJ shafts

 

[Jabo]

Repair the HP

 

[elnino]

so its safe?...

i mean...i trust the welds....should i trust the turd under it?...im also going to truss it

 

[Kyle]

The 30 isnt a bad axle by any means, plenty run 35's locked and do quite alright with the d30.

 

[elnino]

i know..hehe...im just saying...

well once my brother has it he will lock it or do something....i think a truck on 35s is a BIG/NICE first car...

 

[Belto]

yeah, he better love it.. and treated good, like you have

 

[elnino]

im sure he will....

 

[elnino]

so who sales good brackets?

They dont have the exact bracket listed but im 99% sure they make it.

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

well you said you wanted to truss it so look into TNT/Trek... http://www.tntcustoms.com/page.asp?pageid=126

 

[Kyle]

IMO TnT truss is the only way to go.

 

[elnino]

i have something else and CHEAPER in mind

i have something else and CHEAPER in mind

Like?

 

[elnino]

just kind of put a big gusset on the axle...my brother is going to DD more than wheel it...and i dont think is worth putting that much money on a 30..unless you were making a tank with 33s and 30/44combo

 

[XJLI]

run HP. just buy or make brackets for the UCA.

If you have a serious reason for a truss then do it right, if not then why are you wanting to put a truss on at all?
