More pics to come! And some vids too. This is a new area that hasn't had much use, and has been nicknamed Area 51 for now!

I'm told that Samuri axles are beefier.

RCV now do a set for the WK, but only for the QTII guys, not for QDII. And they are 2k a set :mad:

The one that broke was an apwi from rockauto, and it actually snapped the shaft at the spline.

The one i put together from 3 busted factory ones lasted the next day with much harder wheeling.

Yeah they have added them since i last looked, negotiations underway, have a couple of other trucks looking for them so trying to get a better price. Having said that a Jeep set from the stealership here is $2400+ GST..........

$2400 for stock replacement cv's from the dealer??? If that's the case then you can get the RCV cv axles cheaper

Nice!!! I can't wait to see pics. It will be a few months until I can get mine. I see I new front diff in my future and want to get that swapped out before the RCV axles. It's looking like $850 for a new diff from mopar online.

Once I get my old front diff out I'm going to start calling around and see if I can drop it off some where local to have some 4.10 gears made for it.

Im trying the same thing here, to find anyone who will do a gear set, either 4.11 or pref 4.56. Shes crying out for better gearing. If you have any success let me know!

Dave, I'm in love with your WH, man. It's just one awesome piece of machinery, lol. I frequently find myself on your threads, man. The one picture with the line of WH's is a really impressive pic.

I was watching some of your videos today and it doesnt look like you get much tire spin. Are the tires bogging down your jeep that much?? I figured you would have plenty of power with the CRD.

Stupid question, but aren't the ring and pinion in the ELSD's QD II axles different then the QT II axles? Or are they the same part number. If they are different and I was able to get someone to make some it would help you out any.

Im not breaking the CV's under high spin, its under takeoff,usually in tight spots. The CRD has plenty od torque down low, even with the lack of gears now.

The only difference is the centre of the Diff, the R & P are the same between QT and QD. And the axles are different lengths due to the centres being larger.

Any assistance towards aftermarket gears at a decent price would be awesome!

Nice. I wasn't sure if the ring and pinion were they same. I'll be getting a new front diff in a few weeks and will let you guys know if I can find someone to makes us some gears.
