Jk 1 Ton Artec Tone Rings
มุมมอง 2.2K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Installing Artec tone rings on sterling 10.5... This eliminates abs light from coming on the dash since these axles dont have tone rings.

Welding artec truss on front axle. I got the caster angle wrong in the video. You want to find the center point in-between your caster and pinion angle and put the truss on level.

Preparing 2000 Dana 60 & 2000 sterling 10.5'' axles for Artec truss. I plan on putting these under a 2010 jeep jk 2 door with a 3 inch lift.
Good video, you remind me of myself about 45 years ago when I was monkey wrenching on my 74 CJ5 with a 304 V8. Don't want to sound like I am telling you what to do, but try using a face mask when cutting or grinding with the angle grinder. The disks give off asbestos chain molecules which puncture your lung cells causing camcer. I know the face masks are a pain, but you only have one set of lungs. Sorry to sound like a nag, but you only live once, so take care and make the best of it. Cheers from Canada.
Old video I know, but wondering if you have any issues with the rear driveshaft/pinion on the 10.5 hitting the gas tank after the stretch, both on the street and during articulation? I've got a set of 2008 F350 axles I'm working on swapping into my 2015 2 door and have heard they play hell with the gas tank.
2:04 the hubs aren’t gonna unlock you left the hold down bolt in there
I like the way you set up your rig. I would like to stretch my’11. I have been trying to find comp cut corners but no luck.
look how that idiot put that jack stand on there HOLY SMOKAS
I am not sure if you are the guy that i just played with on offroad outlaws but if you are, nice jeep
The worst part about these axle swap projects nowadays is usually after getting all the BS done you immediately have to spend another 5k for new rims and tires because the bolt pattern is different and most people change to 40’s
Hi! We are looking for JEEP JK/JKU owners to test LED tail lights, are you interested?
My man thanks for the video im wondering if youve looked into the 8030 long arm brackets? It says they're supposed to work with the stretch brackets but im wondering if its one or the other of if you need both to do both (long arms and stretch 8") 🤔
Excellent video, thanks!
Whats your wheelbase?
You still jeepin? Just found your channel and am enjoying it, should keep posting.
Goood info here. Thanks for the video!
Any new updates? Changes? Regrets?
Wish I had the 05 and up axles the turning radius sucks but it’s doable. Wish I bought a drive shaft with a parking break because it’s not very good on that sterling 10.5”
Could this kit work if I already have long arms from rough country?
Did u have any clearance problems on the rear
What happen to this guy
And wh
2 hours aint slid in this junk ford yet
1st, I really enjoy your videos. I 'm getting ready to stretch my JK and would very much like your opinion on the Synergy kit. Any regrets and are you happy with the outcome and performance? Also, long term review of the Crawler Concept rear corners. Thanks
2 things I would change I would have got the 05 and up axles and I would have got a drive shaft with a parking break on it because I have to adjust it everyone I bring it to get it inspected
Why pinch off the vacuum line? Do these not work the same way?
No they do not work the same way, these are 100% manual actuated hubs, not the automatic or automanual factory units.
Looks great!

My man will not blow his nose. Straight suck'n up the runny nose juices. Gahhhh damn
Length for the drive shaft
Gotta love a two door. Thats a super clean build man
I am thinking those 42"s are going to look just right ,keep up the good work .
Say boss got one shot of you beside the Jeep , look like the wheel sat back to far , again it is most likely me my bad , I am glad it works .
I gotcha go to the next video I chopped the rear fender to match the body lines
Dude your videos are sick. Keep them coming. Nice looking Jeep btw.
The only pic. I saw look wrong , maybe it is all me will look for more .
What picture? Not sure what you are trying to say
Hey man, I know the Dana 60 and 14 ply are slightly different width. Did you use a spacer or what did you end up doing?
I’m using a Dana 60 and sterling 10.5” they are both from ford trucks. If you use a 14 bolt you will need spacers to match the with
Get the RPM Steering Flip kit
How did the 60 pair up with the MetalCloak arms?
Good just needs adjustable arms to get correct caster/pinion angle.... I would recommend doing long arms tho
Hey man, have you addressed the rear sway yet
Joey Mitchell no I haven’t put one on
Any updates on your rear sway bar? Have you relocated your Rear sway bar yet? Im planning a rear end stretch and was thinking of changing out my exhaust with Flowmaster #817752 exhaust system. Hopefully it gives the clearance needed to relocate the sway bay back.
Sweet stretch! 💪
awesome build! How did you connect the JK e brake to the ford axle? I saw that you used JKU e brake line for the length. I have 2014 JK that I am doing a swap to rn. The e brake is my last step. Any help is appreciated.
mike townsend so I had to do some trimming to get the brake cable to go in the sterling e brake location. I adjusted the brake in the rotors.After that I ran the cable to the hand brake connection. And put It back in the oem location. But I added cable nuts and pulled the slack out by hand and tighten the cable nuts and it works, if you want pics add me on instagram or Facebook @mista._jonez
Did you cut the width down on the axles? It did you leave them factory length? Looks great.
Left them factory length
Hi what's the vehicle on the dana 60 pls??
Abdulla Al rumaithi 99-03 Ford F-350 dually
You in the Austin area? Think I saw you over at the AMC theater parking lot one night.
Joshua Jackson yeah im near Austin
Hey do you have a Facebook or Instagram? Have some Question about the stretch ?
Wow !! Nice job dude
After installing your new control brackets did the gas tank fit back as normal ?
Diego Martinez yeah I had to trim a bracket off the fuel tank but that was it
Yo brotha ! Sick videos man you got Instagram ?
Diego Martinez “mists._jonesz”
Why didn't you use grease? That's gonna be a bear to remove the next time you need to service it
I called warn and they said not too
Warn pre-greases them to specifications. They state it in their manuals.
Pardon my ignorance as I am new to Jeeps but this is not stretching the body/frame, correct?
Clint McJeepjunkie correct! Just stretching the wheel base in the rear so the axle sits 8” back from it’s OEM location
Good stuff. I want to do the same to mine. Not that much info online on this swap, until I came across your channel. Cheers.
Pete Miller if you have the fab skills I would recommend running a triangulated 4 link in the front/ rear
I wouldn’t go higher, I’d chop more of the fender even though it’s armor. Staying as low as possible and creating the clearance for your tires is the best way to get good usable clearance
Loved watching your build. I also have a 99-04 I am working on putting in my JK. Plan on using the Currie hubs as well. Where did you source your 35 spline outer stub axles shafts from? The only options I’ve found so far are a set from ECGS as well as a set from Yukon. Curious what you used.
Vinny D'Agostino Currie
Keep Jeepin thanks for replying, I did find some less expensive aftermarket 35 spline stub shafts I bought. My currie unit bearings are on order. Last piece of my bullied is now finding rotors, did you have a shop re-drill a set of 8x170 rotors for 8x6.5 or did you find an off the shelf set of 8.6.5 rotors? Can you share a part number of you did? Thanks man.
Are you running a 14 bolt in the rear? If so I would run a spacer that changes the lug pattern to match the front?, also the 14 bolt is a little narrower then the Dana 60. Why are you wanting to have rotors re drilled? I have the 8x170mm pattern front and rear.
Keep Jeepin Keep Jeepin really? The Currie unit bearings only come in 5x5.5, 6x5.5, and 8x6.5...at least that’s what the Currie website shows. I ordered the 8x6.5. My rear will be a 14 bolt or a Dana Ultimate 60, both are 8x6.5.
That’s odd it gave me the option for that pattern when I ordered them. See if your rotors for the rear axle will fit the front... idk what too tell you on that besides re drilling
did you have to buy new drive shafts?
Ctrl Null yeah I knew I for got something in the video. I bought them from Adams driveshafts
Sick fuckin build
BajaMedic much appreciated!
