Builds HDJ77 Build for Midwest Overlanding (1 Viewer)

[SNLC]

For the main pulley I just left it in gear and with the parking brake was able to get pretty close. Not the best method, but no issues so far. If I had the SST to hold the pulley I would have been able to get that in there, and there was enough space for my largest torque wrench.

I have the SST, one I made actually. If you want to borrow it no probs.



Cheers

Any updates on this build? Its .
I have an old pzj77 wagon and the FT swap is something I dream of doing.

So instead of cutting into a new bumper to get it to fit I switched over to a long neglected project of the front hubs.

It came with the notoriously unreliable power locking hubs, which of course only one of the 2 worked most of the time. So over a year ago had purchased some used manual hubs, and everything to rebuild them. Then the engine blew up and they sat on the shelf for a while so the first step was dusting off the parts

After a little bit of sand blasting they were painted with engine enamel (to withstand the brake rotor temps), and then new slotted brake rotors were attached with new studs.

Did you replace the spindles? Or, did you use a spacer kit?
