1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Seems like a good price, but who does all that work for a SAS only to put a Dana 30 up front? Idk if that’s any stronger than the stock IFS lol. Also what’s the point of replacing the rear Toyota 8” with a Dana 44? Like I said it still seems like a good deal, just kinda weird choices for the axles.

 

Instead of a hatch falling me, I have to make sure someone doesn't get knocked out when it flies open

 

Anything is stronger than what you'll put it through

 

It's nice for the price

 

Maybe so lol but that looks like a crawler build, so Dana 30/44 seem like odd choices. They might as well have just bought an XJ.

 

Anyway I’m not trying to knock the seller or anything I just though D60/14B was the go to for SAS builds to make all the costly fab work worth it.

 

I'd certainly be pretty dissatisfied with a 30 front, 44 front and rear would be acceptable a least.

 

I has no dollars

 

Is the Dana 44 any better than a Toyota 8.4”? I’d think it’d be pretty close, maybe not enough to justify a swap but I’m not sure.

 

They're fairly close yeah. But if you're swapping a front in it is cheaper to keep the 5lug axle shafts usually and match it with a 44 5lug rear unless you get lucky and get a 6 lug waggy 44 front.

 

Dimensions of shafts and gears are similar and strength wise they're about the same.

RCVs for a Yota 8" front and D44 front actually use the same birfield internals so even a built axle is a wash.

That said the newer jeep stuff is 32 spline and a little beefier in terms of housings and knuckles

 

lol

 

@Tour991 -- wow! Be safe up there. Crazy!

 

Ive been really bad on the sauce lately and have been perpetually hungover. I think today is the day I take a break.

Remember to change your air filters (home and auto).

Cheaper buying in bulk at HD.

 

Even the power supply was cool.
I still like the HK sub. I've had a few, such a good design. No wonder it's part of MoMAs premanent. Always reminded me of something out of The Abyss.

 

Just grabbed a new cabin filter for the VW. First time using a charcoal one.
