    Now for some Dana 44hp wheel hub tech
    Pics inside the hub with races installed

    The spindle with fresh 7/16-20 bolts/locknuts

    The bearing setup what it will kinda look like inside when installed


    You'll have to turn the inner spindle nut to line the pin up with the locking retainer holes then the outer nut goes on!

    you'll need an axle/spindle socket to get it tight ( they rent them at some auto parts stores or you should just buy one for $15-$20 for your rig!)

    The notches should line up

    Just like this!

    Be sure to pack it well with high-temp wheel w/disc brake grease you don't want this going dry!

    Restored the knuckles, spindles and caliper brackets

    Scraped down and shot with rust converter/restorer

    Then painted ( and of course I later installed double shear arms then repainted)

    So the trial running of the engine was a success!!!! The first time since I got the jeep 8 years ago it has charged at 14v+ and no Matter how much power was turned on it compensates to match!
    Seems this was the culprit:


    So I put in a new 5.9 (136a) alternator and replaced the wire harness




    So I had my son do the honors and toss that burden in the can!!! 😂😃😁

    So putting the gears back in I noticed that the ring gear is a hair away from the cast when at full set pinion/backlash etc.., it should clear but of any concerns?


    But they're back in since June!

    And took it for a test drive just to find more crap!
    Trac bar is loose, the rear drive line shakes pretty bad and the 9" 3rd seems to be missing a yoke seal!

    Anybody else have the Claytons trac-bar? Cause the threads on the jj end have loosened up and caused a lot of play!

    The threads look fine Not stripped or worn.

    I had that happen to me.. don't remember what I did to fix the problem. Might can run a tap and dye through the joints and tube inserts.

    Got any pictures of your coilover mounts? and have you gotten the orbital mounted up yet? I have been thinking of doing full hydro rather than assist on my 44.

    Sure I'll take some shots maybe tomorrow of all the mounts!
    The thing I will say is only go full hydro if you don't use much on the highway or over 55mph cause it does get squirrely!
    It is flat out awesome off-road!
    turn with 1 finger even in the most awkward spot!
    If you want the best of both tap the box and go assist!

    Yeah my plan was a surplus ram, stock pump drilled out, buy a resevoir and tap my current box. Should be around 200 to get it done. I was only gonna do hydro if I found a used orbital on pirate or something.

    End of an era poor Chewy took his last breath today and is now in hell...
    first Jeep, first grand, the Jeep my wife and I had many dates, camping trips, wheeling trips, fishing trips and road adventures with.
    First unibody and where I learned (sometimes the hard way) most of what I know about grands

    The o’l stealth crawler is gone and will be missed but never forgotten.
