Also a 727 lockup and Dodge NP208 installed. (gotta have it solid for driving to the cabin and back all winter!) build your truck right the first time! Right John, the D60 will be wider with a WMS (wheel mount surface) of 67.5"s and the spring perches will also be placed wider as the JTruck frames are both wider at the rear and used either posts or hangers mounted to the outside of those frame rails (~44" centers IIRC). It will also have an 8 bolt lug pattern, although you can get disc conversions with a 6 bolt patter, but then you still have a wider axle that needs the perches moved.

I need to update this... http://www.wagoneers.com/FSJ/wagon-time-line.jpg WHEN did the XJ officially end? 2001?? BTW, anyone have any suggestions for a PDA/smartphone (with NO camera) that will sync with Linux? My new job prohibits cameras... and I figure I might as well get a PDA that is based on Linux and syncs with Linux... :) john ---- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://JohnMeister.com **** http://wagoneers.com ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold ** http://freegift.net *** http://greatcom.org/laws/languages.html ** - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 23:13:07 -0700 (PDT) From: john Subject: fsj: Saturday's Drive http://JohnMeister.com/fotos/2005/LeavenworthWA-22oct05/ALL.html john ---- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://JohnMeister.com **** http://wagoneers.com ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold ** http://freegift.net *** http://greatcom.org/laws/languages.html ** - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of fsj-digest V1 #2528 **************************
