The build/re-build of Gruff

[MericaMade]

I toyed with Fusion and looked at Dana but ended up going back to the Dynatrac. I didn't want to change my hood stickers

Ha that's funny.

Cant wait to see it once the build gets going

Just waitin' on Dynatrac at this point.

In the end, did you have to do a custom length on the axle after all?

Hey stranger! How's the BMW coming along? Looks like a handful!

Ended up going with 68.5" rear

Still apart waiting on a new cage and wiring, bought another project thats been keeping me busy. Also starting to turn the truck into more of an overlander/race support vehicle. Maybe I will take it wheeling with you guys.

Awesome! Looks like Jeff, you and I are all about in the same time line. Can wait to see the tires mounted up!

So 68.5 is where the front ends up with the TF full float conversion? 65.5 is the standard JK semi float axle length quoted to me by Dynatrac a while back before talk of doing something like what you did was even in the picture. so the Hub and spindles extend each side an inch and a half out, interesting stuff for sure.

I solved all of those ^^ issues with these



And the TF kit does not add width to the existing axle - it's the same width as a standard unit bearing

LOL, I got one when I picked up my tires today

 

[Ddays]

Nice tires!

Thanks! New rubbers are always fun!

 

[hinrichs]

So the axles are full float, but stock width?

That's the standard PR60 width and it's the only width that the Hardcore set is available in.

This is the stance. Moby's are 68.5 width

How did I miss that you went with a full new axle set? I know you and I talked about it but hadn’t realized you pulled the trigger. Congrats!

LOL, I never said anything til today. I sat with pencil & calculator & decided instead of nibbling around the edges I'd just quit screwing around and take one big bite & be done with it.

Nice new tires...I am awaiting the burn out video after mounting...

Yep - it meets in Moab this Summer

Thanks! No, I'm probably going to throw them on the JL once I quit blowing money of Gruff. I need to figure what lift I want on it.
