Rear Axle Debacle, and Project Planning, Making the Flatfender Jeep Project Roll!

This week I make the newest project mobile, swapping out the rusted up rear axle for another.

I live in Texas and I own and 61 scout 80 like yours and I also own and 51 willys M38 like yours but my M38 is not missing as many parts as yours and mine has a Dana 44 in the rear also

I image the cj2a D41 being a mess is why it was getting a rebuilt d44.

Great to see the 80 in use. Did I miss a video about that Scout II in the background. Love the paint on it. Great series. Love your videos.

Nah that Sii has been kicking around for a while, was t-boned hard on the other side and there's no paperwork for it, so it's parts unfortunately

I'm no flat fender jeep expert. I always kind of wanted one and knowing the WW2 ones had full floating axles. Until I learn why it would be a bad axle, I always figured swapping the full floating axle in place of the two piece axle might be worth wild.

Same, the full floating design is definitely more attractive to me
