I am by no means mechnically ignorant. I do all my own maintenance on my TJ, oil, auto tranny, diff lube etc...
I have installed my own lift kit... twice! replaced steering components when the rocks won...
now I have purchased a new axle. I got a great deal from a really cool guy in CO on a D-44 with 4.56 and an ARB in it ($1200 shipped woo-hoo
)
my front end is a D-30 of course, with woefully inadequte 3.55 gearing. I need to upgrade the D-30 to 4.56 to match the rear-end I am putting in.
I have done some research on this and I know that I need a new carrier in the front which I can source pretty cheap, I can also get a good R&P pretty cheap.
The sad part is everywhere I go they want $350, or $400 or even $500 bucks to install this stuff.
I want to do this myself and I want to know how to do this myself should a trail repair ever be needed. I have never worked with R&P or carriers before, but I know that effing this part up can be disaterous.
So I am looking to my fellow jeepers for a little help. If you are in So. Cal. and are experienced in working with carriers and R&P, I am offering $150 cash, plus a case of good beer to work with me on this. I want to know how to do this, so I am not asking you to do all the work. I am asking you to be my guide and teach me all about it.
I live in Riverside, CA, and am available on Saturdays and Sundays. I am willing to drive a few hours for this education, or I can do it in my garage with you, and my tools, it's up to you. If this sounds like something you would like to do shoot me a message and we can exchange info.
