[QUOTE="Plastic Fury, post: 442061, member: 21352"] First thing I wanted to tackle was getting the axles swapped between the Jeeps. I knew the rear diff spider gears had been welded on the 95 and the front Dana 30 and been rigged to have it permanently locked. The axles under my old 91 were in decent shape and would work for the immediate future (I have a Ford 8.8 to swap in down the road). Right now, I wanted to get all the usable parts either swapped over or off the old Jeep so that I could get it out of the garage and sold to make more working space. Besides both axles being permanently locked, the 95 had a spring over conversion that was a bit sketchy with horrible shackles. So between that and the welded rear diff, I knew I would just swap them out. I had a brand new Rubicon Express 2.5" lift on my old 91 along with some MORE boomerang shackles and decided to remove them as complete units and roll the axles out from under one Jeep and to the other. This actually worked out pretty well in my garage doing it by myself.[ATTACH type="full" alt="20230920_182340-A.jpg"]122827[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20230928_134415.jpg"]122828[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20230927_232215.jpg"]122829[/ATTACH] Axles are now swapped. It was a little cramped moving all of it around but I managed to make it work. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20230929_171403.jpg"]122830[/ATTACH] Now with more room to work, I can get started on the rest of it [ATTACH type="full"]122832[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
