I'm glad I came across this blog,
I now have twice the confidence
that I can someday do an axle
swap. |

so for help I can suggest that you
1. eat the sub 2. kill Axl Rose
and then 3. shove his dead body
under your jeep pursuant to Step 2
above |

Cleary the instructions say put
new "axle" in . . . so if you
didn't use either (a) an axle or
(b) Axl Rose you would
understandably fail Step 3.
HOWEVER if the sub was actually a
Primanti Bros. capicolla with egg
and hot sauce, you probably would
have been ok. |

I swapped my axle for a sub
sandwich, but I failed step three.
Help? |

Slawth;
Sorry it took so long to get back
to you, but yours was a complex
problem and one that I had
difficulty trying to solve. After
trying to recreate your situation
in sort of a real life labratory,
I finally came up with the
solution.
Where you went wrong wasn't really
your fault, it was mine. I left
off a very important point in my
instructions. I feel bad because
it really is a safety issue more
than anything.
I make the following amendment and
apologize for failing to note this
initially
Step 1a: slowly remove your left
thumb from your butthole and pull
your Hanes briefs up from your
ankles before moving to Step 2. |

OK. I finally got around to doing
this swap and I have run into a
little trouble. Please clarify.
I got the Jeep up on jack stands
and had to take a torch to the
springs because the shackle bolts
were seized. No big deal, except
it was so bright (it was night
time of course) that it woke the
neighbor girl up and she came
outside and asked just what the
heck I though I was doing. I very
nicely told her I was doing an
axle swap and she could go ahead
back inside and make me a sammich.
Again- no big deal. Then her
dad comes out with a gun and tells
me to get the hell out of their
driveway and that I was going to
have to pay for those springs,
blah, blah,blah- he was really
pissed. Needless to say, the swap
was not a success. Where did I go
wrong? Any pics you have would be
great. thx! |

Jeffro:
what you are seeing is actually a
completely different mod. I'll
write up my morphing suspension
mod right after I write up my
morphing paint mod. |

You pictures confuse me. A TJ with
leafs, then when the new axle is
put in the leafs turn into coils?
Man I have to read that all over
again! I though it would be much
easier! |

jackbauersmom: you have to
understand that the front axle is
a much, much trickier process.
While I probably should do a
completely separate blog about it,
I will try my best to explain the
steps here. Pay close attention
to the differences, it could be
the difference between success or
not. It could be your life on the
line.
for front axle swap in a TJ:
1. Carefully take the old axle
out
2. Carefully put the new axle in
3. Carefully drive to make sure
you did step 1 and step 2
correctly.
again, you're welcome |

i noticed in the pics this is for
rear axles. do you think this
method will work for the front
ones also? |

nhcj5: I do believe that, in
general, this will work for your
CJ, but you will want to consult
with your physician first. GNR's
problem with their axl swap was
that they downgraded. They went
from a D60 to a D35. As long as
you upgrade, I think you and your
chihuahua will have nothing but
good things to say about this mod. |

I found this very helpful, thank
you. I know it is for a TJ but do
you think it would also work for a
CJ?
Also, when GNR removed axl, and
then replaced him with a new axl
it really brought the suck. Do
you see any possibility for
similar suckage with this swap?
Thx. |
