MIG is pretty well foolproof. I rather enjoy brazing, but it is expensive. If you plan to do a lot of this sort of thing, I would look into a gas mig.

I'd like to get some feedback on what to do with my axles. Current situation:D30 front D44 rear drive shafts both upgraded drive front u-joint kapuut, all brakes shot, strange KLUNK in rear diff. heavy duty "wants" for ARBs front & back. I refuse to pay more for axles than the jk cost me.

Put RCV in the front 30. Throw in the selectable ARBs, regear to 456 and stick with the 35s. 488 in the d30 is tinytinytiny

Good god, I just googled those axels Scott. I think someone from Dynatrac tried to come right out of the monitor and steal my wallet...and RRSP, and pension, and I fear I may wake up in a seedy motel bathtub full of ice in Mexico missing a kidney. And that's just for looking at them >_>

D60's cost breakdown: - Axles, housing & diff - Brakes & rotors - new wheels (stock bolt pattern not available??) - divorce lawyer - bachelor apt in seedy part of town I'm not convinced that I really need a set of axles stronger than Chuck Norris to do the sort of driving I do. ;D 1) "Air-Time" : The only time my tires will leave the ground is when something unmovable is wedged under the jeep. 2) "Rock Crawling" : I will crawl over the odd rock but I am not commuting to work via Moab. 3) "Big Power" : I don't plan on doing anything to the mini-van engine currently in my jeep other than change filters & oil (it LOVES oil). There must be something between a box-stock Dana 30 and a fully-built Dana 60?

Look for JK Rubi axles - 44s with lockers, bolt right in and just have to hook up the lockers - JK are electric aren't they?
