I’ve got the same truss on my D30. Looks good

Just went through your videos and it's making me miss my XJs. May have to buy a 5th at some point in the future haha

@@HardEarnedBaconit’s funny because I grew up with YJs and TJs, but ended up with an XJ. They are fun, but those Wranglers will always catch my eye when done right.

@HardEarnedBacon 4 месяца назад

@@DCarter355 I think the XJ is the perfect size 4x4 with 4 doors. Wish I could go back in time and buy a brand new one.

Love watching the fab work! You're inspiring me to get in the garage. Not being a hater, but instead genuinely curious why you're building the 30? I've wrestled with what I would want to do and every time I start thinking axle swaps, I want to go big.

@HardEarnedBacon 4 месяца назад

This is going in my LJ which is staying more street focused, the YJ will be getting much bigger parts at some point. Sticking with the 30 because I am keeping the rear 44, keeping my factory track bars and suspension mounts, factory steering, my wheels, etc. Not going bigger than 35s so didn't want the domino effect of other axles haha.

Great content! Are you interested in vehicle lighting stuff sponsorship?

@danhambrick6331 4 месяца назад

Nice job.Is there a reason you didnt weld the axle tubes to the differential housing?

@HardEarnedBacon 4 месяца назад

I considered it but I don't think it's necessary with a truss. I don't know that I've ever seen a 30 with welded tubes now that I think about it.

@Silentway247 4 месяца назад

Awesome, I'm doing this exact same thing. I decided to cut off the LCA and Coil buckets and replace those with Barnes as well. Are you sticking with OEM UCA bushings? I am leaning to swapping both to a JJ or the passenger to tabs to accept a heim.

@HardEarnedBacon 4 месяца назад

Planning to go with JJs since I'm in the process of installing Rockjock control arms that all have JJs.

@Silentway247 4 месяца назад

@@HardEarnedBacon Nice. Have any ideas for the passenger side? I was thinking of either cutting and modifying the old tower to mount on the truss so I can just press in a JJ or looking to cut the barns bushing bracket and weld on a weldable JJ.

@HardEarnedBacon 4 месяца назад

@@Silentway247 I was thinking about welding on a piece of tube that has the same ID as the cast sleeve on the housing, not sure yet

@Silentway247 3 месяца назад

@@HardEarnedBacon I ended up buying the Artec UCA bracket for their truss and just modified it to fit the Barnes, also went with the Barnes trackbar.
