Started tearing down axles-pics

[msuforeman]

Well the transformation on the 74 has begun. I have disassembled both axles as of now and will be sandblasting them on Saturday. Within the next 3 months I will add the f/r arbs, 4.88's, front warn axles, yukon rear axles, ctms--I already have all this stuff sitting in my garage but I've decided it's a good to do front disk swap, Por-15 the frame, axles (maybe), and a 2" body lift and some kind of suspension lift. I did not realize how bad off my springs, shocks, coils and all the bushings really were.

Are those Jackman aluminum wheels? I have only seen one other set of those. I don't know what there worth cash money, but they are an a+ in originality. Yah, Yah ALCOAS are shiny and cool, but everyones got e'm.

Looks like you need taller jack stands.....

I like how clean your work shop is....

No, they are some cheapo chrome steel wheels that the previous owner had on there. They will be making a exit along with the BFG's to make room for the beadlocks and 37" Boggers.

I wish you could see it now--pretty nasty. It will be due for a good scrubbing by Sunday.

Too bad, I guess that makes one set. They must be rare. My partner said they came with his '77 when he bought it in '79.

While you are putting on all of the goodies I would suggest beefing up your cage quite a bit. If you are gonna be doing stuff that can break warns and ctms you are definetely gonna want better cage.

I will be ripping out that pos soon enough---I can only do what money allows at the time. I'll have to save up a little while for a custom cage--or I might just save up and buy a bender so I can do my own cage.
