Apparently we had a power failure today that my UPS wasn’t quick enough to take over for.

Everything is back up and running.

One database was corrupted but we were able restore it from this morning’s backup.
Backups will be more frequent during storm season.

Meeting @ Okoboji Bar & Grill

I am starting the process of swapping the axles in my YJ.

I am swapping my open Dana 30 HP 3.07 front axle to another Dana 30 HP already geared at 4.10 plus I will be installing a Lock-Right.


I am swapping my open Dana 35 3.07 rear axle to an open Ford 8.8 geared at 4.10.


While I am addressing various aspects of my JY axles like brake rotors and pads I am also pricing my various drive shaft options. I will consolidate my final decision here, but for now I am tracking the various options here.

HP Dana 30 ($267):
Solid axle shafts from a TJ or XJ ($100)
Brake rotors ($27x2 = $54)
Check pads (good)
Rebuild calipers if necessary (good)

TRE flip
Sway bar bushings and disconnects
XJ drive shaft 1j4ff68s3xl590831 ($35)
Lock-Right locker w/ hardened pin ($296)
YAW39147-KIT Warn Vacuum disconnect block off ($40)

Ford 8.8 1fmyu24e0xub73816 w/ flange adapter ($214):
SYE ($175)
XJ drive shaft 1j4ff48s5yl174236 ($35+$93 = $128)
Replace brake pads ($27)
Check e-brake shoes (good)
Brake rotors ($31x2 = $62)
Hard brake lines ($8)
Extended brake line (Included above)
Weld Tubes ($25)
