Went over to a buddies house to swap out the rear in my Jeep today.
Started into it measuring and making sure everything would work and it all looked good. So I went over and picked up the rims and tires I ordered (man these things filled the inside of the Waggy
) and headed back over to start work.
Got the D60 rear out and got ready to put the D44 in. Got it all lined up set it in place and started testing the connecting parts....during this process we found that the driveline was too short
no problem really we can just bolt it on and hook up the front end and drive in 4high fwd until I get the new driveline....
wrong! the yokes on the front driveline ended up being the wrong size by maybe 1/8 of an inch
talk about a pain in the ass.
So we took the D44 back out and put the D60 back into the Jeep so I could get home.
Well at least I have my new shopping list ready...front and rear driveline are the major ones as well as some new U-bolts and some minor miscellaneous parts to finish her off.
