Model 20 and Dana 30

Model 20 and Dana 30
He said he would back it for a year, the labor, not the gears. Very large shop in our community and seems to be happy for work. That is last on list, time to start motor assembly.
 
Germy, what gear ratio are you going to run?
 
On my model 20 are the bolts called torx?
 
If you talking about the cover bolts, yes.
 
Yes sir! Thanks! The gearing though, good or 4.88
 
With a 360 I don't think you need to go that low 4.10s would work better IMO

4:88's for playing in the rocks, RPM's would be pretty high for the road though. The 4:56s should be a good trade off.
You going with a locker while you have it apart?
 
Do I want a locker for snow street driving? I know for off road, but like the gear driveability will lockers make it not road friendly. How do I know what I have now? I have the rear diff cover off. What came out looked like chocolate milk!
 
I know the opinions are that lockers are bad on slick roads....however, when I installed a rear locker in my CJ it actually handled better on snow and ice...no more fishtailing and better forward traction. I tested this several times after install....i could not get the rear end squirly on a slick snowpacked road even stomping on the gas. A front locker is detrimental to winter driving however.

that chocolate milk indicates the presence of water...
 
One vote for a locker! Add another few hundred. The front has locking hubs, I don't have to do anything to the front diff right?

Locking hubs are just that.....they engage the wheel to the axle shaft in simple terms. A locker will engage both axle shafts together, again in simple terms.
 
:agree: As CJim7 said locking hubs is not a locker
 
IMHO a rear locker would be great for off road, BUT it might be kinda squirrely on the snowy hills you have on your side of town.

I think I'd drive that long wheelbase JK you have in the snow.:D
 
That jk is my baby, she sees no bad weather, that's what her boyfriend cj is for

The top has never been off in 4 years on my CJ7 and 4 years of playing in the snow This is why I own Jeeps. :) If I wanted something I was only going to drive when its nice I would stiil have a hotrod.
 
Let me rephrase, I use jk daily but take extra special care of her.
 
I was just giving you :dung: I do understand :)
