Ford 8.8 axle swap

[Kral4me]

powdercoat it!!!!!!!!

We used to have access to that (hence how my bumpers f/r and my sliders got done  )

BUT

Brian moved away last month, so no more hookups in that dept 

Anyone have any others?

I also agree with Al, besides you are going to have to grind off the primer where the welds are going to be to ensure you get good welds.

It's nice and dry in my garage.  Just cold.

[albsvx]

Auburn electric lockers front and rear

NICE!

JB Conversions short cv shaft

Why?  Didn't you just have your cv shaft rebuilt?

Badapple diff covers front and rear

do they make a real cover, or just the protector ring?
check out SOLID diff covers.

Super 8.8 kit

VERY NICE INDEED!

[Axle]

The cv shaft is actually the yoke on the NP231.  There is a standard sized one on there now, so I am replacing it with the super short for a gain of about an 1" and an angle reduction to boot.  I really like the SOLID and Rock Krusher diff covers, but they aren't in my budget.  The Badapples are only rings, but they are only $55 each!  I did find a Rock Krusher diff cover for the 8.8 on ebay for $65 including shipping, so I am considering that versus the ring cover.  I might do that instead.
