TJ: sht50 buildup

[sht50]

they are. im giving them to one more diff mob without the brackets and truss's on them to see if anything can be done. and if not they will be getting retubed.

[brenttj]

cool mate good to see your not giving up on them

Well decided to pull down the 9" carriers today and right a list up of what requires doing. and i found something else that im oh so happy about. where the end pinion bearing sits there is a great big crack straight down it. ill get some pics up tomorrow. So now im up for another strange nodular housing.
So list of what is wong with these diffs so far
2x bent housing
2x ctm ujoints
1x longside axle
2x brass air lines
1x front locker leaking
1x 9" carrier
and also the wrong diff ratios.
but i dont have much of a choice for front ratios being that it is a reverse rotation 8.8 gear set. all i can find a ratio that might work are either 4.86 or 5.29. I was hoping for a 5.13, But i might just have to go the 5.29s

Just looked at the first pic when you first bought it - saw you up Glasshouse on the weekend - wow, would not have recognised it if it wasnt for the number plates!!!

[sht50]

haha thanks mate yeah i saw all of you's up there (sunshine coast jeep club ??????) Was good to get out again.

Yep, that was us, playing on the hill. Havent been up there in a while myself, was good fun. Though I think we had a few to many in the group, to many delays and waiting around and not enough driving

well got a little bit more done on sunday, 4 hours on the grinder got the front diff cleaned up and i sent it off to diff lapping yesterday, havnt heard anything back yet but hopefully they can straighten it. hears hoping anyway.



and got a couple of packages as well first one are the new knuckles



and second one was the new 9" carrier. only had to trim a little bit down so the locker would fit.



this is how much room there is.



got both front and rears back together to send off to arb to rebuild the lockers and set the gears up. Have ordered the CTM rebuild kits and now i am trying to track down new ball joints but i have no idea what they are out off. So i am scratching my head trying to figure out what to do.
