http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15299

I know most everyone already put in their .02 worth in the above thread but what the hell I am BORED, PISSED & feeling a bit DEPRESSED. So I am following in Rich's forum and making a usless thread.

LP Dana 60. If it works for me, it will work for you.

I would run what ya got but if you must change it go LP 60.

Rockwells becuase you'll never break'm with 35" tires

But in all seriousness either what you got or lp 60

Missing option: True Hi-9.

Run whatcha got.

I'm building my new axle for front and rear doing a pair of 609's I figure thows will handle 40"in tires and a v8. Thats just me tho. I'm right now running a lp60 and haven't had a single problem with it.

Either 609's or LP60

So how soon is the LP60 going to be for sale?

I would say in about 2 or less weeks. Its out of a 77fullsize ford 4.10's welded rear diff and it has trussing set up for a 4 link on it. Heres a pic let know I was just gonna tho it in my pile of maybe axles for another project.

Also seems u could be in luck in either 2 or 3 weekends i will be heading to ellensburg for wheeling and stopping in cle elum to see a family member i could meet u localy for you if you would like

What are you looking to get out of it?

Dynatrac ProRock 60 (high pinion)

Custom housing was designed for high lubrication in a high pinion. Heavy reinforced ribs for strength. Widely used. Good customer service. Great ground clearance. There are probably a dozen guys here running them and I've yet to hear a bad word.

I dunno what he wants for is, but low-pinion 60s with drum brakes are worth about $100. Figure you can run your existing shafts and locker, once the housing gets narrowed, which should add a second $100 (give or take) to narrow. Add in the cost of the new ring gear (standard rotation) and the bearing kit. Probably can swap out the brakes while your at it.

and sorry about edit'n your post, I was trying to quote you, not edit you.

Thanks

Low pinion 60 with a detroit has my vote.

Low 60, done and done.

Not cheap, even another CRD won't be cheap.

This whole sport isn't cheap no matter what you do
I quit playing cheap a few years back and so far that has treated me quite well...

Yep at this point I want to get the Jeep back on the road/trail. So it is either fix the CRD or get a LP60 or 14bolt and do it cheap for now. Then start saving for some 609's maybe.

If thats the case I would go with what I voted for and what others have suggested---LP 60 and be done...
