Haha i know! I want to have a wheelin adventure with a nice fat BBQ getogehter thing. Sometime in the near future i hope
40s are fine on stock axleshafts, so are 42s. You will break the occasional hub with 42s but the shafts seem to hold up pretty good. 40s seem to not break much. I broke one hub in like 4 years of wheeling with 40s
If you ran 42s with 35 spline outers and drive flanges you really wouldn't break very often.
Your rig though I think I would stick with hubs though. Mine is trailer only now so once I can afford it I will be getting drive flanges.

Thanks for the real world advice! Looks like i will set on either of them once i can find a 60 that isnt too beat.
I never noticed if you shaved your 14 bolt, if not do it an absolute must IMHO
yeah i still havnt. Got hung up to the max on it last time i was out. I need to borrow the portaband from my dads shop and slice it up. I need to grab a new thicker diff cover first though.
Well decided to do the responsible (ie not fun) thing and use my extra income to pay off our credit card. So im just takin a small allowance in the meantime. Drove my buddies yota with dual cases and it had ne hooked.
Talking to my dad he sees no problem in making an adapter plate for a doubler so that may be coming soon. Ive been on the hunt for a 205.... But not much luck. Finding a ton of 10 spline ones, I can even get one for 50 bucks, but ive been reading you want 32 spline only. Hopefully I can find one for a reasonable price, or maybe change input shafts?
Its gonna be hard to snag a 60 right now so a doubler is gonna have to hold me over lol

Finding a 32 input is rare. They didn't make that many compare to the 10 and 27 splines, and the 32 are in more demand. Sometime you get lucky and find one for a reasonable price.
Nice. Gotta borethecase for the larger bearing though. Good option to have though. Gonna scour local j yards for the unicorn 205 tommorow
Yah I decided after searching for a 32 spline 205 forever and usually if people have them they know what they have and want more money than I am willing to pay. I found one last week for 350, but when you break it down its the same cost to do the conversion. Plus you have the peace of mind that you have new bearings and seals in there

i was just on northwest fabs website and they have new 10 and 27 spline adapters for use in their doubler kits.
With all the headaches people have with NWF, i would rather give ORD my business
came up with a super cheap solution for crossover steering since i didnt want to waste money on my d44.
Im in it about 60 bucks. Will post some pics tommorow weather permitting.

Z link?
Hope you don't end up on the scary steering page
Lol not a z link persay. Its a pretty tame bend. It looks legit but we will let you guys be the judge haha. Weather is gonna blow since its pouring but im gonna try and drive partway under the garage and get it done
