For Sale/Wanted To Buy

ttahara · 07-20-09, 12:26 PM

When I did my front disc conversion I saved a bunch of parts and don't need them anymore. I saved the good ones and in the process of cleaning them to sell, so far this is what I have. The Brushguard-$100, it will bolt onto the factory holes. The Front Axle Bearing Kit is from SOR-$70. The Birfield's(2) have never been used-$90/ea. The Selectro Hub's(2) are not OEM they were on my 40 when I got it from New Zealand-$30. The Knuckle Housing(2)-$50. I also posted this on Upstate's too. Give you and Upstate first dibs.

ocdbeetle · 07-20-09, 01:39 PM

Thanks but that isnt anything I did...

lextechautomotive · 07-20-09, 06:38 PM

Jim do ya'll need the an axle shaft or are you looking for a complete front axle assembly, from hub to hub?

lextechautomotive · 07-20-09, 06:41 PM

Need a front disc brake axle assembly or just from the knuckles out (disc set up), from a 40 for the 74 fj55 i'm working on to do a conversion.

ttahara · 07-20-09, 06:54 PM

I have a new bearing kit, used knuckles, some shims, lots of others seals, gaskets, used spindles, and 2 new birfields that should fit..if ya want to come look at them sometime to see if they would work...i saved almost everything from my conversion that I didn't use that I got from SOR to do it.

ocdbeetle · 07-20-09, 08:02 PM

I'll check.....

BELMONT148 · 07-21-09, 06:52 AM

Glenn, how could you have missed this?

That is cheaper than just what I paid for my disc conversion pieces, here you get complete axles. Plus no shipping.

lextechautomotive · 07-21-09, 09:41 AM

Jeremy thanks for the link, Haven't really dug in and begun to search yet. These may be the ones i saw listed on craigslist a couple months ago.

73fj40lc · 07-21-09, 04:26 PM

Thanks guys for looking for the fj62 axle. I guess that I need just from the knuckles out. I am going to do the disc brake conversion from the 62 to my 73 front axle with longfields. I have 76 fj40 axles but hate to tear it apart in case somebody needs it in the future. As Jim has already stated I do have full 76 running gear and the 4 spd. tranny & trans. already pulled. I origionally planned on using them but now I am not going to. I am not looking to make money off the parts. I just want them to go to someone who can use them so they don't have to buy them. Yes Jim has convinced my to join the club.

lextechautomotive- I do have the 76 disc 40 axle that you are welcome to. It is rusty but nothing sandblasting won't cure.

Thank's again, Greg

ocdbeetle · 07-21-09, 04:35 PM

^ Greg is the man...no doubt........

73fj40lc · 07-21-09, 06:47 PM

Ok it is official my family is now members of Lowcountry Cruisers. I have paid my dues after a long time of looking at the posts. I have been a member of mud for a few years but never really had any reason to join a TLC club until I met Jim. I know that we had a few 40's in Florence but I had only met Bubba Dubose until Jim. Look foward to meeting all of you. I work for the railraod as an Engineer so my schedule is wacky, but I will try my best to make it to some meetings and events. The mistress in my life is Betsy. She is 36 and a little rough around the corners but she has it where it counts. She has been upgraded and it is still a work in progress. I gave her a boob job awhile back so now she is packing a stroked 406 SBC. I have to work on PS, York OBA, and disc's all the way around. I have to warn you she plays nice with Jim's 40 but I don't know how she will act in a crowd. She has never been around alot of other Cruisers, I guess that I will find out.

sounds like a stripper I knew in college...

she was also in my Accounting class as a Freshman.

dbenke · 07-21-09, 08:25 PM

Looks like you will fit in fine with this bunch of .............
I shouldn't say that.
Welcome, Maybe I could find a use for the 40 axles under my Jeep??

73fj40lc · 07-21-09, 09:21 PM

All of the running gear is still attached to the 40 except the T & T which I have already pulled and It is sitting in the tub. The 76 parts 40 hasn't been run in a long time but the po said the the T & T worked when the motor quit. The axles are good just rusty.

All running gear is there and I have 2 sets of 40 oem springs. It would be a huge improvement in overall strength. My next door neighbor has a tj and I can't get over how small in diameter that his axles are, they are tiny. I guess that he has dana 30 axles I am not that familiar with the newer jeeps. I grew up with the old cj5, cj7, Golden Eagle and Renegade's. They are like the LC to me I love them. Brings back great memories from long ago.

Brock, sounds like I am going to have to keep an eye on you. Don't be trying to snuggle up to my Betsy while I am not looking.
I get jealous.

I've got an84 Cj7, and the front Dana 30 has a 7 1/2 in ring gear. I've got 4.88's to put in it, but the pinion gear is less than 2 inches around. I'm planning on running 37's, so it's only a matter of time before it breaks.

lextechautomotive · 07-22-09, 06:06 AM

Wecome to the addiction, you'll fit in nicely, just watch out for Brock and Taco Boy (BBQ BOY)they're kind of mean.
How much for the 76 front axle assembly with the front disc's?

73fj40lc · 07-22-09, 08:53 AM

Again first come first serve. I really would like to get the parts cruiser to a central location where our members could get what ever parts off that they need. Right now it is in my back yard. I want the parts to be used. There are some components left on the block and running gear is solid but most everything else was already off of it when I got it. It came with Betsy so I didn't complain. I do have the title to it but never registered in my name. I am not charging for parts that is too much hassle and I know that they will be used instead of going to waste. I really don't want use the running gear. Because of the differences between the 73 and 76 and planning on doing the 62 knuckle swap.

BELMONT148 · 07-22-09, 03:05 PM

David, that 76' axle with a set of Longfields would be great with your 37's. It would be a huge upgrade from your Dana 30.

You could have a locker with 30 spline chromo's and a 9.5" ring gear with better brakes for $1000.

dbenke · 07-22-09, 03:09 PM

I'm thinking seriously about it

Thank's again, Greg

Not to rain on anyones parade that might be wanting a deal on this axle, but you know the only difference between a 76' FJ40 axle and an FJ62 axle is the axle housing width, inner axle lengths, and the FJ62 has a higher diff ratio. If all you need is the stuff to do a disc conversion, you already have everything you need in the backyard.

Jeremy

73fj40lc · 07-22-09, 04:49 PM

I was under the impression that the 62 knuckles were stronger than the 76. How about the spline count between the two. I also thought that the disc brakes were larger and better on the 62 than the 76. I may need to re-think this. I haven't done this type swap yet so I am in no means an expert. I want the strongest possible setup that I can have. Any advice is appreciated. I have read numerous threads on mud about this but it all starts to run together after awhile. I do not want to do a total 62 axle swap on my 40.

lextechautomotive · 07-22-09, 06:06 PM

Haven't done the research yet on the 62 to 40 disc axles swap yet but in my experience from 25 yrs with toyota and lexus i don't think this is a viable option. I think Jeremy is correct in that you already have what you need in the backyard. Eventhough that would put me out of what i'm looking for.
