My 'new' rear axle

Post by will e »

The 14 bolt is pretty beefy compared to the AMC 20 I had. Upgrades include disc breaks, ARB, BF shave kit and cover and a truss. It's a full float.

Hopefully it will be ready for Ouray...

Ha! Jeff.. Not really. But I am not going to fret over it too much either. :)

very nice!

there is only one thing that looks better than a disk braked 14bolt. A disk braked 14 bolt with a truss!

I dropped by yesterday. The front and rear are bolted in. Calipers are on the rear axle now. Front sway bar is in (first time in years). Steering looks like it is mostly there. Looked like they needed to do the brake lines (parts were there but not hooked up), front hubs and a few other things. They were finishing up the transfer case 'skid' plate.

Installed.

If you zoom in you can see the little skull on the cover plate. I might have to paint it to match the jeep. ;)

Here is the skid plate for my transfer case. I tried to clock it so it would be above the frame rails but it just wouldn't fit. So they built a skid plate for me. I have to get the exhaust redone after cutting it to get the TC in and doing a hack job putting the exhaust back together. I will probably have them move the cat back a little so it can get a little more air around it. This is one of the reasons I wanted to get the skid plate in before taking it to the exhaust shop.

I might use some of the skid plate real estate for stickers. ;)

A side shot of the TC and plate. A really nice job keeping it tight. My main concern was the sight tube. If I smacked that and the fluid leaked out the results could have been difficult to deal with.

I like the skid plate, and the little dimple for the t-case.
