Hey all,
First post on the forum! I figured just like other forums I'm a part of I'd make this so I can keep track of all my progress. So I finally got the front axle out and it's ready to be upgraded! Yes I'm keeping the D30, I don't plan on doing any serious off road just yet, but it will have 33 or 35s.
So the first order of business is to swap out the old shafts with Yukon chrome moly that I have ordered yesterday. With those I didn't realize I needed to get rid of the two piece axle on the passenger side so I'll be doing the vacuum trick that was posted here.
I also plan on sleeving it now that I can, and replacing seals, wheel hubs, joints, and then repaint it all. I want to switch gears to 4.56 but that will happen at a later date. My dream car is one step closer to bring a rolling chassis! I'll post pictures if the progress.
