I was wheeling at Tuttle Creek in Kansas and finally destroyed the Dana 35 in the rear. I always told myself that once I broke an axle shaft or something in the 35 that I would switch to an 8.8, so let the mayhem begin.
First here is a pick of the broken Yukon axle shaft remnants
Got the axle put back together and running, but that is just to move it around the shop.
Found an 8.8 on craigslist for $100 without any of the brakes on it. Which is fine because my disc brakes will switch over.
Time to clean off all the brackets and start getting to work.
I sold my locker, axles, diff cover and adjustable arms to my mom. In trade I had her buy all of the joints and inserts for the 4 link. Joints are from Rusty's and the inserts are from Ballistic Fabrication.
My 3 year old son was helping me at the shop. Remember Safety First!
He looks a little scary in this picture. The face shield was pulling his eyelids down.
I got the coil buckets and shock tabs on yesterday along with starting the truss. I will get pictures this week and more along the way.
