Haven't had a chance to work on it lately. I have two 3 days weekends ahead of me to work on it though. It will be a roller by end of February. Then I can bring it home where I can work on it as much as I need to and will also have access to a lot more help. With the Jeep being so far away, I am doing most of the work solo, which can be a challenge sometimes.

Close... Its 670 lbs. I had to have mine weighed for shipping. 720 lbs with the pallet.

OMG! That's a hell of an increase! What do you think the addition is with front and rear? 700lbs total?

That's front and rear, correct? No way just the front weighs that much.

I hope it's total. My little 3.8 can't carry much more. Quick! I need the number for Jenny Craig!

Ok gentleman... start crying. That was just the front axle. The back weighs close to 300. I thinks its like 250. Not entirely sure on the back. But, I can promise you one thing. Your front Super Duty Dana 60 does weight 670 lbs. My neighbor is in the shipping business and it was the center of discussion at his office. They put it on the scale twice. Once with the pallet and once without. I may still have the shipping invoice. If I do, I will post the numbers.

One correction, with the pallet it was 776 lbs

That must include brakes and rotors then (which are crazy heavy). And the tie rod, drag link. Did it have wheels on too?? I'd say mine complete without brakes is in the 450 lb range. Two of us can pick it up and we are no super hero's.

Yes, it is the full enchilada. I got it for $800 and everything was in top shape. Until I got a hold of it that is.
