Yea not a fan of the half-assed upgrades and why you'd weld a diff that has LSD is ?? to me.. I was going to offer 2500 based on what I see, although there are a few other Im looking at to. This being a coupe 5 speed is whats really appealing to me

I can almost bet that rear axle came out of a Ford Explorer. Most guys that do the 8.8 swap use them because an 8.8 is stronger than a Dana 44 (8.5 inch ring gear) and you can get them with rear disc's brakes and not even have to convert.

Thought Id give an update for those of wondering where Ive been! I recently picked up and moved to Charlotte, Ive been talking and talking and finally decided to do it so Oct 18th was moving day. The 240 is done, for the most part and made the trip down without a problem. Here are some final pics of her..










It came out great, rides surprisingly well for being so low, the rear adjustable arms were well worth the $$$ I spent on them. And the handling is unbelievable taking on raps at 60+ before the tires start giving way.

After all this work, Ive put it up for sale or trade. I cant ignore my roots, I need to be in a Jeep and need to make that happen as soon as possible. I love this car and always will, was great learning experience for me as Ive never really tackled this amount of work on my own but it taught me a lot, including patience and most importantly take the extra time to get a right part even if you have to save and spend a bit more, well worth it in the end.
So Ive got my eye on a few TJ's, both are lifted one is 4.5" LA and other 6" skyjacker. Im trying to get the 240 sold before making an offer but I may need to jump the gun on one of these soon. Also have a trade offer from a guy with a 99 XJ 4"lift but I have my heart set on a TJ. Hopefully Ill be wheeling again soon!!!

Awesome man. Looking forward to seeing your next jeep!

[06JeepXKHEMI]

Thanks Matt, seeing those RC pictures made me extremely jealous and reaffirmed my need for Jeep'n. I love cars and maybe one day Ill be able to have both but this is what Im more into..



This is the 6" lift one, hopefully I can get the car sold before this is gone..

That looks like a fun jeep!
