CJ5 walker wheeler project

now with the rear diff offcentered would I need a off centered one or would a centered diff work?

Offset. you could run a center if you change t case to a model 20 or build a hybred 18-20

I happen to have a D-20 case too! Came from a Scout II, so not sure how to adapt it...but I have one!:redneck: Find an offset D44 rear...I happen to know where a matched set of D44's are---I can call them if you like and find out if available yet.:corn:

yes , I dont want to go overboard on this , Just want axles that dont brake and a locker in the rear, run 31-33" tire

if you wanna stay simple, just throw axles under it. Id just throw a d30 front from a 73-up cj5 and a flanged centered d44 from a 73-up cj5. put your low gears from your rear 44 in the flanged one with a locker, then get matching ones for the d30. only one gearset to buy. that set up will hold up forever on 32s. good find man, it looks really clean. then just make some bumpers, and add a front cage section for safety. :awesomework: then leave it alone and wheel it. haha. the hard part is to keep it from getting too big. :awesomework:
