They just responded and said at the moment, only listings originating from Argentina and Uruguay are available for their service.
Bummer. Axle swap it is then......
 
At this point in the thread you probably have come to the following conclusions:
1) There are those that attempt to help answer your questions. Although their answers may not actually help they are at least trying.
2) There are those that provide answers that actually address your situation. This group is fortunately where the majority of ‘MUD members reside.
3) Last but not least, is the individual who offers nothing and whose post can border on insulting. You’ll will notice that #3 often post on multiple threads. 😊

Absolutely, @Gun Runner 5 but this can be applied to most group environments. How these things are received makes the difference in the flow of the discourse.
What matters is that the vast majority of folks show up here to engage about something that they share a mutual interest in and out of support and an eagerness to see others succeed. It has been said countless times, especially by those in the early stages of a project, but this community is amazing and I am endlessly thankful to everyone I have texted/PM’d/chatted with about this or that throughout this process.
I’m still relatively early in this process so I don’t have a whole lot to offer in terms of feedback but when I can add to the overall discussion substantively, I do.
 
👊👊 I’m just a random a****** in internet land. 👍👍

@OGBeno You’re absolutely not. But at very least, give a hint as to why this is a “terrible idea.” It isn’t as blatantly obvious to me as it is to you. Searching “60 series axle swap” in the 70 series returns one thread of someone with a BJ70 asking the same question.

I already have 1.5” wheel spacers to account for the 16” steelies. Losing those in the rear accounts for the difference in track width between the correct 70-series axle and the incorrect 60-series one. Aside from the difference in track width, what is the root of this being a “terrible idea”?
 
I don’t think any of this matters anymore. Do what you feel is best for your situation.

It’s become obvious to me that even pointing out an idea is “bad” or “good” is now seen as some type of BS value judgement or is an attack on a person just because I’m direct in my attitude.

That s*** gets old quick.

It’s just easier to keep my thoughts to myself. And in all honesty, this thread has shown me that MUD is a big waste of time for me now at almost 20 years of doing this….

Good luck buddy!

Your a smart guy Beno but you gave up helping anyone but your cronies a long time ago !!!

I don't know. I don't need one ? WTF then you say Mud is a big wast of time.

Saying it a bad idea is not the problem, it not giving the reason, Like a 60 series axle is not going to be the right width, yes most of us know this but not all. that why were here to learn.

I get it, there a lot of people that ask clueless questions but I don't think belittling is the right answer especially coming from a mediator !!!

I know I should be afraid to make this post because of your God-like status, but someone has to say it.

If everyone was as smart as you you would be just a regular guy, we look up to you because your way smarter the most of us !!!

There now you can Black ball me ;)
 
Bump, how about some completed pictures of the work @thebill
