This one, looks like it’s about $550 overpriced International Scout Dana 44 front axle https://classifieds.ksl.com/listing/69160424

Managed to track down the previous owner and find out what happened. Supposedly spun out off a road, jumped, and planted into the dirt! Amazingly the oil pan didn’t break! But he said the engine was dislodged…..only thing I can find so far is the engine cover was popped up and sitting cockeyed...

Im going to at least plug it in first to test it! I’ll try to do it this weekend.

Not yet actually, I was missing the fuse and holder from it so I had to meet back up with the lady to pick them up. Frankly I’m more focused on building my comanche so I’ve been lazy to dig into it, but if I can find time this weekend I will!

The donor showed up tonight. Noticed the coolant is empty, and found the front end was banged up, I’m assuming in an accident. Hopefully if the PO hit something they didn’t overheat it, time will tell I suppose. It fired up and drove into the driveway with no power loss or misfire that I could...

If they’re aluminum I’ll take them to throw in my scrap pile of wheels 😂

This always gets me too, and the people that think somebody will pay big money for they’d stock suspension stuff. I just find it funny people think they can get $2500 for stock wheels and tires when most people struggle to sell it for only like $600

Should I rebuild the 241OR, or just go with a 231 doubler kit? The good thing about the 231 is parts are much easier to find if say, I need to replace a case, I can pull one from a junkyard. My crawl ratio in Low Low would be 116:1 with a doubler, 62:1 with just the 241 I have the wheelbase...

I’m not the only one that finds it humorous people try to get top dollar for these crates, am I? This one’s been listed for quite some time too.

Just saw this on FB

While I wait for the donor to arrive I’m starting to finally assemble all my hoarded parts. Still on 4.5” coils up front, trying to decide if I should stay with them or put the 3” Rusty’s springs I got in. Threw 2” shackles on the rear. Front end is……on…..kinda….. Mounted up my 255’s by hand...

Bought a donor!!! Almost went for a BRM, but after some cost analysis I settled for a 5 speed ALH, going with a 5 speed saved me a little money in tuning, as I wouldn’t have to go in and change the ECM program from auto to standard. Plus, I should be able to sell the 5 speed swap for around...

Swapping my Dana 30 to match my 8.8 Looking for a 3.73 and up (numerically) carrier, and a locker, or a combination if somebody has something like a true trac or ARB.

I’ve finally got enough stuff to keep me busy for two years, except for a donor TDI, I’ll keep searching for one though. In the meantime….. Got a 97+ front end swap Traded my bench for factory buckets Got a center console fridge/freezer for a steal to try and integrate.

Surprisingly not bad, it’s just pricey. Front half will be about $500, rear half I think I can source from a Liberty at pull n save, chain and rebuild kit is another $200 or so. I think all in all, I’ll have about $1,000 into this one.

Any recommendations on what solvent to use?

Hmm, it’s actually cleaning up pretty well with just a shot of brake cleaner. I’ll have to get to it with a nylon brush and plenty of brake clean and see where I end up, then I’ll give everything a nice coat of oil until I can get a fresh shell. Also, considering all the crap in here, anybody...

Well crap…… What’s the consensus? Did I buy a boat anchor? Or is this saveable? Doesn’t appear to be any major pitting, but I won’t know for sure til I start cleaning it up more. The planetary only spins in LowRange correct? If so, can I clean it up enough to where I can run it and just chalk...

Bought a Rock Trac from DAA, more or less a core. I’m hoping it’s still salvageable enough I can just replace the shell, throw a rebuild kit in and call it good. I’ll have to pull it apart and inspect the planetary before I go dumping anymore money into it though.

Ever since I’ve been going to pull it yourself yards (only about 10 years) there has been a core charge. Maybe not at mom and pop shops, but every pick a part, upullit, pull n save, etc they’ve charged for a core.
