narrow track axles, pizza cutter ~33s
« on: October 20, 2016, 09:27:45 PM »
I had a sweet thought on a Gus re-power. anyone have CJ narrow track axles, and/or 2.73 gears for them? I'd settle for 3.07s.

also super skinny 33s or 34s?

I mean come on. 
Why didn't you just ask me earlier :)

3:73 gears or 3:55 drum/drum
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

I figured you'd have some, Arie :)
Wasn't sure if Matt might have any other options, but I know YJs are his favorite.
I'd need wheels too.
I'll keep an eye peeled for some with 2.73s for a bit, not gonna touch Gus 'till the Bro and 571 are both shipshape-ish.

to the best of my rather good knowledge of pre 87 jeeps.. (pat on the back there)

Narrow Track: 76-83 CJ5, 76-81 CJ7 & 81 CJ8
'80-'86 were 2.73
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

most our axles are gone.  we have only a set or two of yj axles, one set of TJ 4.10 axles, a complete 10.25, an empty 14bolt housing, and an empty JK30 housing

wolfie might have an extra set, i know he was parting / assembling from two CJs to make one with a project that died

Might be a set exactly as I’m looking for in buffalo for $250 if an ‘80 is likely to be 2.73.

little digging shows new tall gears aren’t available. D30 up to 3.07 and AMC 20 to 3.31. No higher from Randy’s.

Sami's are 52.5" with a 3.73 gear.

I may have some jeep axles.  Let me look.
