    You guys (and gals) do enough axle work, you should consider getting an induction heater for your axle tubes. Just a thought. God bless and stay well.

    Videos like this are so enjoyable to watch. Unfortunately they always remind me of how long it takes and how many times I screw up projects that better fabricators consider simple tasks. Props to all you geniuses. I respect your talent!

    Chris & Bec Cutting and Welding Together Again! Y'all fabricate that stuff like I used to do with plastic model kits. Your knowledge and skills are amazing, and fun to watch. That's a big stretch! Over-piping that axle = Mind Blown! LiteBriteNationExtendsTheLOutOfTheLJ!

    I had a best friend who could do anything..a jack of all trades...reminds me of Chris...same kickass fun attitude and willing to help those who'd help themselves and not expect others to do everything... He moved to Florida a few years ago...miss that dude... They're all very lucky they have a Chris!

  • @kylewest100

    I bought the same front axle but have a Dana 80 rear. I’ve decided I’m going to cut up the 80 and make it a front axle. Im glad y’all made this video because now I know how I can use this dodge Dana 60 on my 07 Silverado.

    Looks great. I recently did an LS swap on my 1 ton LJ and after wheeling it a couple times I found my front dif was hitting the steering pump/alternator bracket. When cycling the suspension there was no contact, but we made the mistake of not resting the jeep at flat full bump. Make sure you check that clearance at full bump sitting flat. I ended up breaking the bottom connection of bracket off when hitting a dip at sand hollow. I went home and welded up a brace to support the now perfectly "trimmed" bracket.

    One tip dry ice the axel tube wile heating the outside tube they will slide in like butter, been useing this technique for 35 years of heavy maintenance work, we machine our stuff to 1 thousand fit, it will not come apart, even used is steam heated shaft’s,much easier and faster,same process works for hers and shafts, like the bearings your going to have to install on your axels/ lockers good luck on your builds, also I would have used porta band saw or bench saw to cut tube much cleaner,less prep to assemble

    Thanks for another great video. I’ve daily driven my LJ for 10 years now, and have done a regear, etc, but the work never ends, lol. The ideas and things you’re doing in this build is fantastic. Using the dodge front axle is excellent. Keep up the great work! LJ Nation!

    That's hardcore Chris. Congrats on showing something I've never seen on YT before, deleting the disconnect and sleaving that axle. Impressive. Also, if you ever have to replace that AC compressor, you have to pull the engine it looks like. Better put in a good one!

    If you don't want to break the front axle, you could have gone with a Dana Super 70 from a GM Topkick for the front. You probably wouldn't need to do anything with it to make it work.
    But since that is too late for that, you really should look into bearing girdles. These put bolts through the cover to stabilize the bearing so they don't spread under torque. You can review Carl Jantz's information on that. I did this for the Dana 70 used in my front wheel drive motorhome after installing the 502 in it.
