@cole8557 Год назад

@muddy beards 4x4 Thanks for putting these vids together for us to follow along. Do you think a similar build would be practical on a yj? Considering the suspension and drive line are so heavily modified I would think there isn't much different between the two but I haven't seen many compact 40" yj build. Thanks again 👍

@MuddyBeards4X4 Год назад

Thanks, the YJ is a great platform, the frame, suspension and drivetrain are basically the same as the Tj, just the tub, interior, cage are different. So yes throwing 40’s on a YJ is basically the same amount of work as the tj.

Kelly, I have been watching you and Nate for a while now. Love your content ! I want to put 40's on my TJ but I'd like to keep it as narrow as possible. I'm looking for 1 ton axles. Seems I can get all different widths. What is the narrowest axle you would use to run 40's ??? Also any preference on Dana 60 vs Ford 9"?

@jeepspeednate 2 года назад

Do you still use the stock AC compressor for compressed air? I would love to see a video on that if you do

@MuddyBeards4X4 2 года назад

It is all still there. The a/c compressor died a while back so it no longer works. I have been using a Smittybilt compressor for a while now and plan on redoing the whole onboard air setup. Future video for sure.

@dronetrooperfpv7810 2 года назад

I have had my 02 TJ in Red with the 4.0 and auto for many years now. Bone stock. Yours looks pretty much how I want mine to look. Do you love the 40’s or would you do something different?

@MuddyBeards4X4 2 года назад

I wouldn’t go back to smaller than 39’s or 40’s now that I have built it up to handle that large of tires.

@samsanderson7159 2 года назад

Are you happy with that genright tank? I'm planning to go 14 bolt on my 99 so I need to make space. I really don't want a fuel cell, but I want to make sure I have room for a stretch in the rear.

@MuddyBeards4X4 2 года назад

It works fine. The only reason I did it was I got it cheap used. They are too expensive and this particular tank doesn’t give me as much stretch as I would like. I would probably go fuel cell recessed in the tub down flush with the frame and build something around it so I still had some storage back there if I had to pay full price.

@samsanderson7159 2 года назад

@@MuddyBeards4X4 thanks for the feedback. That tank is a lot of money. It's hard to justify when compared to a cell. I'm just having a hard time with the fact that there won't be much space left in the TJ after I do it. I like your idea of a recessed cell though. I think I'll explore that option a little more.

@cbr6864 2 года назад

My favorite upgrade is my body mount lift. It’s amazing how just 1.5” makes maintenance so much easier

@topgun2877 2 года назад

how much would you charge to build me your trans?

@paularbon5810 2 года назад

I don’t think you are going to get much hate about the automatic, anybody who is serious about their Jeep knows it offers way more control. I would convert your a/c pump to on board air. If you want to swap transfer cases I would start looking for a Dana 300 and flip it . Front stretch is a pain and going coil overs will make it way easier than keeping the coils. Basically you are taking about my YJ. Maybe you should do a walk around of my Yj.

@MuddyBeards4X4 2 года назад

The a/c pump has been converted to onboard air for more than 10 years. The compressor just went out on me a few months back. The Dana 300 and everything to flip it with gears and everything is very expensive almost not worth it. Just getting an rubicon tcase or atlas at some point.

@paularbon5810 2 года назад

I must have missed that your already had your a/c converted. Dan 300 can be done on a budget.. flip ring is 100 bucks. A case usually go for 4 to 5 hundred. You can make your own shifters pretty cheap as well. People get caught up in needed HD output shafts and gearing and that’s when it starts to add up. I bought my 300 with a 4:1 gear set for 650. Rubicon cases are pretty expensive now. The cheapest I’ve seen was 1200. The 2nd low and the ability to do front digs make the 300 a good case. If I bought a new t-case now I would probably buy the midnight metalworks 300

@Jeff-wu6wn 2 года назад

@MuddyBeards4X4 2 года назад

Metal cloak 4.5” lift dual rate springs.

@jbhk7977 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing. I have a question regarding the rear axle. Why did you chose a Ford 9.0 over a Ford 8.8? I'm looking to swap my rear axle, but over here in the Netherlands, a D44 of Ford 8.8 is priced it's weight in gold. However, a Ford 8.8 is still cheaper, but needs more fab work. I'm not a rock crawler, most of the time it's dirt/sand. Would a Ford 8.8 hold up running 35's? Thanks mate.

@MuddyBeards4X4 2 года назад

I ran the 8.8 for years, it was a great axle and I never had an issue with it. I even ran it with 40’s. So 35’s will be just fine.

@jbhk7977 2 года назад

@@MuddyBeards4X4 Thanks for responding so quickly . . . Keep the vids coming, I love them.

@DaddyJeepGarage 2 года назад

The Ford 9" is in many circles the best axle ever made. In the hard core 4x4 world it isn't quite the best, but darn close. It has tons of options and even in factory form is super strong.

@milesff7 2 года назад

Ford switched from 9 inch, to 8.8 because the 9” is too reliable, believe it or not. The dealerships need work, so they needed to find a product that was 95%. Drag racers pretty much exclusively use them.

It’s great offroad, I have driven a bunch on road as well maybe 55-60, and it is ok. The nature of heims and the drag link mounted on top of the tire rod gives it some play. So I wouldn’t recommend for something that sees a lot of street driving.
