Pics of my rig new here and part number question!!!

[orangejeepzj]

I have been lurking here for a while and decided to throw up a couple pics of my rig on here.


1984 K5 CUCV
6.2 diesel engine with 84,000 miles
8" lift
10 bolt front with 456 gears and 38.5x11x15 super swamper boggers
14 bolt rear with 488 gears and 40x17x16.5 gumbo monster mudders
still researching upgrades right now to do to it next
pretty much just a mud truck since it is so high
looking at getting a dana 60 for the front in the future if i can find a good deal on one

not the best pics they were taken from my camera phone

Here she was when i first got her she was painted blue ....???

And here when i have been getting her back to the camo color

If it has'nt been said, WELCOME to the site. My Son lives in your terrotory so maybe we can get together sometime when I am coming up. I would love to see your truck in person.

I havent measured from the ground to the bumper yet to get actual measurements. All of this is new to me i traded my 94 ZJ (Grand Cherokee) for this, i am used to working on the jeeps but this has been a challenge so far. I am trying to decide what to do next maybe upgrade the front axle to a 60 and then get some matching gears and tires....I am not sure what route to go yet. I may have to end up selling this thing here, i hope not but hopefully things will get better

The steering was the first thing to go on this thing, the person before me broke the steering arm from the knuckle i believe and decided to weld the lift block and arm to the knuckle with a allen wrench, half a bolt, and some jb weld. I am still trying to fix it as we speak. But it drove pretty good a lil bit over the road but it has the adjustable rancho 9000 shocks on it so i guess it was not as bad as it could have been a lil bit bouncy.

does anybody know where to get the tool needed to get the spindle nut off, it is a 6 pronged one but i cant find it

Go to Autozone, Checkers, Shucks, or Kragen. They have the axle spindle socket. It's like $20.00. I had one when I had my K20.

I got one for the back at pep boys, the other for the front wheel bearings at a local auto parts store because peps was out of them and I needed it. I think one cost $18, the other $22. good investment for sure

Great M1009!!!!!!!!!!!
I like very much your Rancho 9000 Lift Kit!!!

 

[orangejeepzj]

I havent even looked at the one for the back yet but if somebody has the part number and maybe a pic of the one for the front that would be a great help to make sure that is what i am talking about

thanks

 

[orangejeepzj]

does anybody have the napa part number fopr the spindle nut socket, and maybe a pic of what this tool looks like???

 

[Crash_AF]

If it is like every other Dana 44 I've seen, it is SER 2467

That's the four pin socket for the four slot lock nuts.

Later,
Joe

Should look like a really big socket with four prongs sticking out of it or a slightly bigger socket with the four prongs towards the inside. The latter configuration is the best.

Lemme know if you can't find one, I have two and might be persuaded to sell the one I don't use if it will work.

 

[orangejeepzj]

i need the one with the 6 slots on the socket it supposdely looks like a castle
