Wide track axles on a Wagoneer.

[deadironrat]

I know its been done and I'm just interested in the swap. Since I've decided that the J10 will be on the back burner for a long time I'm starting to take off everything that I don't want it to have when its finished. I.E. half ton axles. So that means I have a set of wide track axles with 3.54 gears and a trash loc in the rear that need a new home. I also have the 6" lift I just picked up for that J10 that I'll be swapping over at some point in time.


I'm in no hurry to do this because I just want to get the waggy on the road and start driving it before I start doing anything. But, I would like to hear some opions on it, or better yet some pictures of a waggy with wide track axles. The only real plus I can see is that I would get slightly lower gears and a LSD. Honestly I don't even know what real benefits I would gain from doing that but the way I look at it any reason to pull and rebuild a set of axles is a good reason.

Are you sure there was a thread on this a few days ago? I check this forum multiple times everyday and have been for several months now and I haven't seen a thread on that.

Well, I'll be, there sure was a thread on that about 3 days ago. You'll have to forgive me, I have sometimers, lol.


I wasn't actually talking about a full on W/T wagoneer conversion though, just putting wide track axles under it to gain a wider stance and lower gears. I know someone here is running w/t axles on a wagoneer with stock style fenders, I remember when he was looking for the axles to put under it.
