My 700 pound box o'axles almost got delivered to my house, rather than the shop who did the swap!
Dont watch for Brown Santa, look for fedex freight truck, with no Liftgate!
the best part is spending that much $ and unless you look underneath nothing looks different, just the shiny black axles and the yellow Dynatrac logo!
so the mechanics, the owner of the shop and the fedex driver worked together to get the box down...
me, I would have opened the crate inside the truck and unloaded the D44 and D60 separately!

Unless your doing the axle swap at home, be careful!

I would love to know the factory d30 and d44 weights, plus I added 37's
if the snow would let up I'd get to a scale and see how much my Jeep weighs now!

Yeah I am going to be on racelines and 37's so the jeep is definitely putting on some pounds. Thats a crazy heavy package..

i hadn't thought about it too much, I know I was definitely expecting a pretty big jump in the weight.
pre overhaul it was supposedly exactly 5,000 pounds, so two much heavier axles and 5 MTR/K's 37/12.5/17 the same scale says that it has only gained 200 pounds!

Today I got my first chance to weigh my Jeep after the Dynatrac/lockers/37's...
