Hey from the NooB

[Matt]

Richard, I have been waiting to see some current pics of that truck.

[RangerR]

  That's a tough truck. I fail to mention my Ranger is 2wd.    That's why I am wanting something in a 4x4.


Are all of y'all outside the metro area?

[Matt]

We are spread all over.

Heres a map to give you an idea.

you could get you some used JK axles. JK guy is moving to columbus, GA sometime soon and is gettin 60's so he is going to sell the 30/44 axles

Will the jk 44 bolt to a tj? I am sure if not it would just need some brackets right?

[RangerR]

Richard are you joking or do you know that will work? Should I search for some corporate axles?

[ranger11]

no im  NOT joking. Check out these sites guys do it everyday.

corporate axles- Maybe for the rear, if you want to do full size axles. Just search the forums above for sas or dana 30.

Thanks. I'm guessing if I start this conversion I can't go back to stock because of the the cutting and welding. Right?

[ranger11]

Well if you do it right you can. All you will have to cut is the rivets out of the factory parts and stuff welded to the frame can be cut off with a plazma cutter. But you will not want it back factory. Unless you have experience in cutting welding and measuring really well I would just buy a Xj and put a 2" lift and tires and wheel it.
