Was able to get the other bearing cup chopped off and shaved the axle clean of the uneeded brackets. Next step is finding a good sandblasring shop that isnt overly expensive to clean the axle off and make it easier to weld on.

the housing seems to be pretty unifrom in most directions with very, and I mean VERY, minor changes in tolerances. Not enough tolerance to make anything an issue going forward

Current goal is to retain the factory housing but reinforce it substantially. Im looking into sleeving the tubes and for sure will be trussing it. I actually plan to start the truss design this weekend and have it transfered to solidworks or fusion shortly after that. Unfortunately Im not...

Thanks. Life has been busy. I have a few things (projects) Im working on. Life is still an absolute shiatshow, but I need something to occupy my mind while I deal with the other stuff. This project may seem like I have been planning it for a while, truthfully it was a concept less than 4 days...

Im SASd so ABS has been gone for a LONGGGGG time.

Pulling my spare H233b down I learned that the housing is INCREDIBLY light! Once completely gutted it only weighs about 45-50lbs. Being so lightweight, I will deffinately be building a truss to help beef things up. The diff that was in this housing is a 4.9 geared LSD. Im currently looking into...

So first step I did was to figure out the wall thickness and inner tube diameter of the H233b was. To do this I am required to cut the bearing cup off the end of the housing. I just used a grinding wheel on an angle grinder. 15-20 minutes later we end up with this What I found is the axle tube...

The H233b stock axleshafts are no slouch themselves. Likely made from a medium carbon steel like 1541. They are 33-spline with an outter diameter of 1.31/1.32" (sources vary on info). The 35-spline Dana 60 shafts I plan on using and 4340 Chromoly steel and have an outter measurement of 1.5" they...

Long time no post.... figured I would make my grand rentrance with some wacky/awesome things Im working on. The concept- Take a stock H233b, up the spline count, switch it to full float and disc brakes, ULTRA BEEF the hell outta things. Basically heres the plan. I found a company in Belgium...

Totw Trifecta Kane (Leading) PSM (Leading) Porcupine Rim i will probably figure out how to get a few others in there and run 2-3 trails a day if possible. Lots to see not alot of time

you wanna buy a sweet xterra? It actually might end up in NJ

i wont be outta the offroad stuff, just this time in a buggy more than likely. But I really need to get my personal life in check. Been dealing with alot mentally and in my personal life. Staring at the xterra just sitting in the driveway not being wheeled is depressing. I drive it maybe once a...

Probably gonna get some hate and questions. $10,000obo and its yours. I need a change and my life needs change

Im gonna run a tube to the frame on the "wings" to help with side impacts and strength.

Trying to decide if I want a straight bar across the rear or have something a little more unique. Im really not sure what I want.

Little progress tonight. Got the mounts in place and mostly welded in. Tomorrow I will do a little more tube work.

Hmm what is going on here

I know I know... luckily my weekend of carshow got shot to hell by my new job, now I have time to paint the frame and finish the corners

Couple test pics because the offroad park near me doesnt have rock gardens anymore...
