I have a whole front axle Jim....without the guts. Its yours if you want it. Id recommend a set of knuckle ball gussets....i did that on my FJ axle.
This is the one that i had. Cheap axle insurance..

Ben thanks for the hookup I'm gonna need it, Mark came up with the best idea that I'm gonna have to stick a rag in the axle and grind top and bottom until I'm able to get the Dirty 30 out, I will also have to remove the 6 shooter knuckle and remove the bushing inserts for the Trunion bearing eliminator kit, it will be a messed up job, gonna limp it through Windrock and then start building the housing I get from you. In the end I guess the best decision is gonna be to get the upgraded housing with the heavy duty balls that they claim have to this date have NOT bent....I don't know how I did this I don't recall some crazy episode that would leave me to think "man I bet I just F#cked something up"No need for a Winch...You just have to make it !!

Eric seemed pretty sure he has a bare front housing laying around... he just needed to see if he could them...sigpicchris hodges

I guess at this point the best thing to do is wheel it till its unable to be shimmed anymore. - but...I'm really close to that right now.Last edited by Runoveru2; 08-30-2015, 10:00 PM.No need for a Winch...You just have to make it !!
