Nickle based rods are for steel to cast iron. The tubes and C's are made of cast steel so no need for preheat. Only the center section is made of cast iron. Nice work 👍
You're so patient! I can't even attempt to video tedious work like that, it takes all of my patience just to do the work. The MJ still needs gears in a bad way, but i'm having a real tough tome committing to it.
definitely takes up a lot of your time, but totally worth the feeling of doing it yourself. Unfortunately the channel seems to have recently taken a big hit for doing this. Haven’t been able to camp much and upload regularly on Sundays because my hands have been tied up. At this point I just can’t justify paying someone to do it yet as it’s not work someone would do at an affordable price.
Thank you 🙏 looking back not as bad of work as I originally thought. I could have probably spent a lot more time to honest. Up till now I have less than 400 dollars into this axle.
@@BTBLive haha I definitely have more time in the making and editing of this video than actually working on this axle. Crazy to think 🤔It’s a lot of fun anyway, lol
Nice series. I, for one, would like to see set up bearing process. More detail the better in my view. If people don't want to see that they can skip forward.
Hey Dustin, great video , thanks for posting! Quick procedural question. You didn't weld the inside of some of your welds, specifically the "C" reinforcements. Any particular reason for that? Keep the great videos coming!
Thank you 🙏🍻 and yes I did only weld one side and the ends inward, I know I could have done more welds on the inside, but at the time I didn’t want to much heat to warp the C and I also felt like the one continuous weld was enough heat and penetration. I had my welder maxed out for those welds and only on one side I had to stop and start back up a few times to reposition myself. 🍻🍻
It has 4.56 Yukon gears, upgraded axle shafts and a curry diff cover that’s solid. I put a curry 60 on the back of mine and I’m tired of tripping over the old one. No parking breaks. I used those on my new axle.

Looking for your opinion- is there any point in doing this to a low pinion Dana-30 or if I’m going to do it, should I do it right and find a high pinion?
@@cam-vb8cu the high pinion axle will offer more benefits over the low pinion absolutely 👍🏼 but if your jeep is built around a low center of gravity LCG design. 3” lift or less, I don’t see a problem with the LP as they are pretty strong. The HP solves so many problems if you do end up building a LP i suggest minimum crush sleeve eliminator for pinion setup during a regear.

Awesome build, man! That is one killer little axle. Thanks for making this video!

Vers good job 🎉looking forward to seeing the result
Same, really excited about gears ⚙️ 🍻🍻
Badass!!! You've found one more subscriber in what I believe will be a long list very soon.
Thanks buddy I appreciate it, 🙏🍻
Dude that looks awesome. I don't know if I personally would do all that for D30 rather than a swap but it does look great well done.

@ATEMOFFROAD That's awesome. Lmao I'm glad I don't count hours.

Looking good! I'd like to see the regear video, the Comanche is long overdue
Thank you 🙏 yeah I’m actually excited for this part. tj has about 160k on the original axles so its about time for an overhaul. 🍻🍻

Cool , this one might be pretty long so I’ll make up a menu to skip through, thanks for watching 🍻🍻
Great video! Super informative…. I feel you covered everything very thoroughly.
Thank you 🙏 🍻
👍👍😁👌 looks good
Thank you 🙏 🍻
Great job
Thank you 🙏 🍻
@ how did you decide where to cut on the spring perch for the new shock mounting location?

I have a rear Dana 44 off a jk if you want it it’s yours
I might have to take you up on that since they seem to be non existent in my area, are you in the valley or Bay Area by any chance?
About 25 miles east of Modesto. 10 miles south of oakdale

@@mikemorris7776 nice 👍🏼 I’ve been considering the curry axles for another build, reasonably priced compared to some diy builds I’ve seen.
