Calling all 2nd Gens who have removed their front diff..

Well it wouldn't be Frankenstein without fabbing a 2nd gen kit onto a 1st gen

 

of course not! hahaha

now go measure your spindles...

 

Give me like 10 more minutes. I get off at 10.

 

fine...




Lol



okay mine was like 16 5/8ths

 

oh and measure the distance between the LCA bolt and UCA bolt..just the front id guess will be fine for now.

 

Where the fuck do I measure from and too! Haha from the LBJ nut to the UBJ nut like 20". Hard to measure in the dark with one hand though... haha

 

Correction top of spindle not UBJ nut. I just moved into the light and i would say 19.5" give or take.

 

Damn Monte getting all macgyver

 

lol!

and yea i did the bottom of the spindle....mine has 4 bolts that connect it to the LCA. So i meassure from the joint where they meet..to the very top of the spindle. Like no ball joint at all. Just to top of the actual spindle.

 

fuckkkk...3''???? jesus...this...could....be....odd...haha

actually probably 2''..since you went from the bottom of the bolt..and not the bottom of the actual spindle.

how i roll..

 

I'll have to take some pics of how it is setup tomorrow and show you. haha. Sounds like there is a bit of difference. I don't know why I didn't think to measure the bottom as where those bolts bolt in. It just looked like one piece in the dark. haha oh and 2nd gen only have 2 bolts.

 

weak ass 2nd gen LCAs..lol

 

Never heard of someone breaking one. Don't people shear off those 4 bolts on 1st gens here and there?

 

the bolts fall out sometimes...like Jons last year at lander lol

and no the LCAs and Spindles do fine. But where your LCA connects to the frame has been know to break..so..might want to re think jumping it haha

 

I know, I need to get that gussets as well as my spindles.
