Looks like a D44. Puts some cromos in it and its good to go. I mean, he did make a Yota axle last this long.:corn:

I was thinkin it was a D30. You know, light weight for more air time. The Jeepspeed guys run em, so they must be strong.

35 spline warn locking hubs
35 spline ARB

Im starting with the rear, got springperches, trac bar mount, shock tabs and truss cut off. Got everyting all cleaned up. Took off the drum brakes and will be putting on my disk brakes. BTF truss will be put back on after pinion angle is set and more truss added on out to the end of the axle. Also shaved have a little bit of the bottom. I really want to redo my rear suspension but this seems to work for me so it will probably stay the same.

Thing looks sweet up close! brought my little scaler down the other day,

 

[dobber]

time for a small update...

front axle in and ready, rear axle all ready but not in.

Ive been working on some other little things like...

-building dual propane tank mounts cause one tank just doesnt cut it
-adding tabs around the roof line for a roof panel
-adding tabs and bracket to hold things on around the rig in place of zipties
-stripped the interior and back half and sanded and painted to make it all fancy again.

heres a few pics
