how do i identify which axles and transfer case i have? i've got an 86 cj with a chevy 350 and 350 turbo trans. is it possible i could have the stock stuff, and which would those be?  

may or june had an axle article in that will help and lots of jeep history, may have been the 4wd and sport utility mag, I can't remember, I'll look through my pile when I get some time, throw up some picks, that will work also.  

did you get your hubs figured out?  

got it figured out, check my other post. man you rock! you'll probably hear more from me soon. i plan on figuring this whole jeep out within a few months. thanks again. let me know if you figure out which mag.  

If the rest of the drivetrain is stock, you have a Dana 300 transfer case (good unit), a Dana 30 front axle (wide-track), and it could be an AMC 20 or a Dana 44 rear. Late '86 CJs came with the better Dana rear axle. If the diff cover looks like an old army helmet it's the 20, if it looks like a stop sign you have a 44.  

it's got an almost stop sign shape with kind of a two stage hump, bigger side of the hump is to the drivers side. it has ten bolts holding the cover on.  

if both axles look about like you described, then it's probly a 30 up frond and a 44 out back, the 44 will live quite well if it doesnt get continuously abused and the front, well the 350 will turn the axles/u-joints into a pretzle if you deside to do 4wd burnouts on the pavement. it will hold up as long you dont get to excited in the mudhole.  

sounds good to me. i don't plan on playing in the streets. i came from driving imports, i'm tired of the streets. as for mud i live in las vegas so there isn't much mud. thanks again. i was hoping that was what i would be told.  

we'll have to do supper at the Petro next to the speedway one of these days. I load at the auction alot.  

sounds good 2 me. whem you gonna be out next?  

I'll shoot you a PM usally once or twice a month.
