@82355 depending on his mood.
Lol that’s a fact. Can’t please the Marty.
Maybe you should put some hub caps on it.
You’re going to be famous! Too bad dropped my cable last month... 
Question on Detroit lockers, found a Dana 60 Detroit for 40 spline axleshafts. Will those side gears work in my Dana 70HD Detroit? Or can I drill the Dana 70/80 bolt pattern on there? I know people have done it with the ARB but maybe they have more surface to work with.

I did research to build a 14ff steer axle.
Dana 60 side gears are similar enough to 14ff side gears that they can be machined to fit . So yes, but maybe with some turning or something to fit right.

I would only buy it if I knew they would swap directly. $350 for it, then could swap my 35 spline side gears and use it in one of my many other Dana 60s laying around. Probably better just save money for a 40 spline ARB down the road.
Went and got the kodiak, sounds like a bottom end knock, but I’ll diagnose it more in a couple weeks
I was wondering about it, I thought that I missed what happened.
Nah, I just left it in Oklahoma for 4 months lol
Don’t feel bad Dave... every time I come in here I know what Scrat from ice age feels like.
Why? I always stick to my first idea and everything goes as planned. 
Thinking about making a moderately bad financial decision involving a 75 blazer on 1 tons...
Yes or no?
Yes or no?
What’s the worst that can happen at this point
It’s sort of free kind of. I took my buddy a 3.6 Jeep engine I was gonna sell him for $750, he has a 75 k5 body and frame, the frame has been cleaned and painted, front is boxed in with steering arm brace and stuff, ORD engine crossmember, the body is actually really straight and minimal rust, floor has been patched. He said well I’ll just trade you that and I thought about it.. and he said I’ll theow in the axles too. It’s a newer 14 bolt I sold him and a Dana 61 front.
I’m thinking, throw the 14 bolt under there, put my spare ford Dana 60 under with the truss; stock LS drivetrain, 3 link front leaf spring rear

Do it it will be like my k5. Also why build a k5 when you love jeeps sooo much?
I was actually planning on trying to copy your front 3 link. Same axle too.
I really want something I can wheel and not have to left off when I start getting close to a rock...

But, I haven’t traded for it yet, might just take the money or try and sell it all. Especially since I bought an $800 watch for absolutely no reason yesterday.
I can’t afford to build a buggy like I would want...
