    lockers

    The covers are different. In the picture is a regular Dana 30 Lube Locker gasket on a Liberty Dana 30A Housing.

    Tow package question - got a new Libby :)

    The towing packages also came with a power steering cooler on the driver's side of the cooling package. You should be able to see it in the grille pretty easily.

    RLE Trans downshift issue

    I am not a transmission expert, but the clunk from reverse to drive may be the upper ball joint (#2) or rubber bushing (#1) in the rear upper control arm.

    LCA snapped in half

    Even more interesting though it is damaged on the rear side of the lower control arm. If you had hit the pole going forward, I would think it would have broken near the sway bar mounting. Are these the original Mopar LCAs? If not, what brand? If they are original, how many miles on them? Glad...

    Simple Rock Sliders

    Looks like a great first welding project. Did you put caps on the ends to prevent the tubes from filling up with dirt/gravel?

    Don't think oil and filter will fix it

    I think you should be fine to swap in the transmission for the Dodge. Is the Dodge a 4WD or 2WD truck, you will have to move over the transfer case adapter if it is a 2WD. Given the TCM takes care of all the shifting there should be no issues with that.

    Do you have any pictures of how the Axion Skid plate ties in with the Skid Row skid plate?

    Iron Rock Control Arm Wrenches

    I put the .dxf files out for anyone to use. You can have them made by wherever or whoever you want. I like sendcutsend, since it is easy and convenient to use. But if you know someone with a CNC plasma or laser, feel free to have them make it for you. Large Wrench.dxf Small Wrench.dxf I enjoy...

    Iron Rock Control Arm Wrenches

    I created some .DXF files for wrenches for people to use. These wrenches are designed to fit the Iron Rock upper and lower control arm nuts. They have a 1/2 square for a breaker bar or ratchet. No analysis was run on these for stress/strain, I just made what I thought "looks" right in a few min...

    Custom sheet metal fabrication: brackets, flanges, odds and ends

    I agree with you. I have used send cut send for parts for the Jeep and other projects. They are a great way to get custom parts quickly. (If you can make .DXF files) Some example parts for the steel diff build. https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/65-corvairs-steel-front-diff-build.79534/post-808561

    65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build

    I just got the low pinion mounted in tonight, the position is nearly identical to the original aluminum housing. Using 5012444AA Pinion Flange, the front driveshaft fits perfect. Next step is to measure up for the driver's side mount and get it designed.

    65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build

    A bit of bad news, using a high pinion will not work (At least for an automatic 42RLE transmission) I installed the driveshaft last week, and it gets too close to the transmission cooler lines for my liking. The high pinion may work for a manual transmission, but I do not have a Liberty with a...

    65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build

    I did end up rotating the passenger side mount 4 degrees to lower the pinion, however it was too low and caused the diff housing to contact the skid plates. Cutting and rewelding to 2 degrees seems to be just right. It gets it away from the starter some and leaves room for skid plate clearance...

    65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build

    Yes, and I also have skid plates that go from the front cradle to the transmission crossmember that I don't want to create a spacer for.

    65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build

    My parts arrived and I was able to do a fitup. With my sendcutsend order, I also had some aluminum plates made to act a fixture for welding. The normal aluminum diff has the passenger side mount perpendicular to the front mounting surface. I tacked up passenger mount at 90 degrees, but it gets...

    65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build

    I designed up the passenger side mount, and will let sendcutsend.com work its magic and mail me my parts. All the plates for the passenger side mount are 1/4 inch steel.

    65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build

    The passenger side collar is installed. It was too much press fit for the 1/2 inch treaded rod, so I cut a slit in the tube and welded back together after it was pressed in. The other cuts on the tube are superficial and happened when I cut off the Center Axle Disconnect from the axle.
