Good advice having shafts in then tacking the spiders. When we welded spiders we torched them up a bit before welding. Not sure if that really helped but we were not even as hard on our d 30 as you are. I had a g2 cover long time ago that leaked like crazy and cracked in a spot on the bottom. I have a couple cheap Solid covers that seem to take a beating just fine and dont leak. I bet those spiders will hold. Not a bad idea to encase it anyways. If something cracks off in there it may save detonating everything else.
Yeah I didn’t do it once and nearly had to throw it away. It was that warped. Yeah I’ve got all my stories on G2. Best one is they told me the ring gear wasn’t hub centric. It centered with the bolts. I was shocked.
I'm a heavy equipment welder I rebuild buckets and your welds are fine you should see the booger welds that have been holding them together for the last 15 years or so
Hi Dex, Michigan loves the content!! ?- when U talked about the CV shafts p#ch8220 &8221. Can I run those in my HP D30? As long as I get the correct output spline count? Cause I don't hve ABS? Oh... Plus I'm doing the WJ Knuckle swap,for bigger brakes. Thank U jasonC from Michigan
Love the video man , btw can you explain what u mean by bouncin the rev limiter ? and are you running a stock 4.0 ? if so how do you have so much power ? and whats your prefered gears n tire match ? ty bigtime you are the best and love the intro who ever did it :)
Yeah man i always red locktite ring bolts, flywheel bolts, distributor driven oil pumps bolts ect. I bet that diff gained 3 lbs. Lol. That looks pretty damn stout. Veey entertaining as i eat dinner. Now to go work on a hp dana 30 im swapping in a 5.9 zj
I have a 97 grand Cherokee 2WD . How hard is it to convert it to 4wd I know tranny , transfer and front axle. My question is . Does the frame have provisions for a front axel install
I donk know of they make them for jeeps. That's something you should ask dex. I know they make them for a ford 9 inch. Lol thats what I run in my stock car
Love the creativity and ingenuity!! Keep up the good work and keep pumping out awesome content!! Would love to wheel with you some day!
That bouncer sounds crisp🤟🏻
Absolutely should for what I got in it 😆
Some people plug off the holes and fill the whole diff with hot lead...
Great content as always man going to hawk pride Saturday to test that new transfer case i got from you hope to see ya there!!!
Awesome. Glad I can help out. I know I’m frustrating to deal with being busy lol.

@Dex Jeeps Wow. Well keep up the videos. Enjoy watching em. Can always learn something new on them xjs.
Red lock tire those bolts for sure, awesome video🤙🏻
Thank you sir..!
Keep up the good work Dex. Your videos are great. I love the sarcasm. And straight to the point
Thank you for the support..!
I always thought it was common practice to red loctite ring gear bolts🤷
Haha for my style it is.
Keep up the vids Dex! Love seeing your process.
Means a lot hearing that. Thanks much. I’ll get better I hope.
Bro you were rolling, well until you weren't, I am still curious what those tires would do on the ledge most all struggled on.
There will be a video coming out soon, I climbed a hill that I prolly shouldn’t have climbed, so yes I believe they are hooking for sure..!
Great content man keepem coming !
Thanks! Will do!
Fabrication Fantastic
I'm a heavy equipment welder I rebuild buckets and your welds are fine you should see the booger welds that have been holding them together for the last 15 years or so
Yes they could be better, I don’t claim to be a welder at all, but there sure seems to be alot of internet “experts” on here lol..!
@@dexjs lol they are fine they'll do the job
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for following along!! Hoping to get some more educational videos out there.
Hell yeah! Let us know how she holds up
Thrust washers is the term you were looking for

Yeah man just direct swap. No modifications needed at all.
Why is your radiator in the back seat?
Good tips!

Yep yep. I see them loosen up all the time. Haha I didn’t weigh it but it best hold up. Lost a money race
I gotta question an I'm stuck on it
I have a 97 grand Cherokee 2WD . How hard is it to convert it to 4wd I know tranny , transfer and front axle. My question is . Does the frame have provisions for a front axel install
Dang good question. Full video is soon. It’s actually quite easy for a vehicle.
What jeeps have a straight front 4.10 axles
Most 4 cylinders had 4.10
Can u not put a spool in it?
Lol spoke to soon
Do they make one?
I donk know of they make them for jeeps. That's something you should ask dex. I know they make them for a ford 9 inch. Lol thats what I run in my stock car
Them are kinda expensive for the jeeps. I get mini spools for like 30 bucks for the stock cars
What gears are y’all running in your trail rigs. I’ve always heard no lower than a 4.56 in a d30
Everyone except for one is stock 3.55.
Pleeeease do not change the intro music ! It'll be a period historic piece man :)
Could have just put a Yukon Grizzly locker and been done with it.💪😁😁
Or you could weld some scrap metal together and use the $800 for a pair of tires instead
I like the way you think sir..!
Nice
I'm subed!
Thanks for videos, but please work on slinging the camera around. Very distracting.
