1 ton jk build
I sold my dana 44s off my jk last oct or nov, and sold my lift and tires not soon after that. I wanted to put one ton axles under my jeep, but didn't have the money to do what I wanted and buy axles from currie or dynatrac. So I called my friend that works at a junk yard and pulled some axles out of a 2002 F-350 and the build got started. The first thing I did was order a bunch of parts.
Sterling 10.50 rear http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...8/P4160015.jpg Dana 60 front http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...8/IMAG0142.jpg Tires 39.5 13.50 17 Iroks going on 17 inch trailready bead locks http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...8/P5030033.jpg Solid axle spyntec kit with my ORI that I am running in the rear. http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...8/P5090038.jpg 14 Inch travel RRD rock krawler coilovers with triple rate setup http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...8/P5260064.jpg |

If you have any questions please feel free to post. I used rock krawler long arm upgrade with some custom touches. The rear ori are all custom.
|
Very impressive, well done
|
Nice! I ll be doing a similiar build soon with king coilovers f/r and 1 tons out of a late model ford. Im going to drill holes in the tub and run rear coils into cab behind back seat to a custom crossmember/mount.
Keep the pics coming. |
are you keeping the stock electronics or ditching them? ABS ESP?
|
Will this void your warranty?
SICK!:thumbsup: |

Man you might have just started a trend lol. I'm sure junk yards have a few of these trucks just sitting around waiting for a Jeep owner to come grab.
Keep us updated on the build! Very cool man :rock: |
i am curious how the go cart engine is going to handle all of this. Should have grabbed that old fords engine as well! very impressive none the less.

Will that chevy motor void your warranty :thinking::rotflmao2:

Warranty.......we don't need no drinkin warranties. In my experience dealerships try to weasel their way out of warranties if u put anything aftermarket on a vehicle. Atleast that's my experience.

"...removal of stickers will also void your warranty." If you re-add a "trail rated" sticker to your 1 ton, then you should be good. |
Very impressive. Lets see some more pictures of the finished product! :rock:

Interested to see how you incorperate the wheel speed sensors in the back. I have the same axle in the front of my Jeep.
http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2636640_n.jpg http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._7578209_n.jpg The front 60 is out of an '03 F-350 SRW. I converted the hubs to accept 8x6.5" wheels instead of the 8x170's. My plan is for a 14 bolt rear end. The front end is fully abs/esp compliant and works flawlessly. I'm just pondering how I'm going to get the rear 14 bolt swap to be abs/esp compliant. I have one idea that I really want to do to accomplish that, but my pocket book might not be happy.:D |
Check out jeep speed shop, they have a jk tone ring that will go on the hub of a 14 bolt. They also make a bracket that holds you sensor. This will make your pocket book happy. I could have gone with a unit bearing on the front 60, but i rather have a hub and spindle and just put new bearings in when i need to. I am not a fan of unit bearings.

Awesome build.. Are the axles you installed the same width as fill width Dynatracs? Looking to replace both axles with full width and was looking at the Dynatracs, but this is a great option as well.

The rear axle is I believe 68.75, and the front is 69.25.

Made some brackets for frame side track bar for the rear.
