Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Yeah.... it's a monster. The dana 70 has a 10.5" ring gear and this one has an 11.5". Both have 4" axle tubes. It weighs in at 550 lbs.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
That is stout! I was behind a new gas HD gmc this week wondering what rear end it has, as definitely not the 10.5 of years past and read they have 11.5” on all the trucks except a 12” on one ton diesels. Looks nothing like the aam 11.5 of the past 16 years under dodge and GM trucks. I’ll be looking forward to how this all goes together.

It was 2011 that the wheel bolt pattern changed to 8x180.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Nothing too exciting to show. I have just been grinding away on the bumper...literally... grinding... away. I have been bouncing around on projects a bit, but hope to get the bumper in primer this weekend. I am over the 30 hour mark on this bumper now.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
That looks stout as can be and I like the corner steps like the new trucks have.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I'm not here to bash on your build or anything, but the way that you have that bumper tucked in so tight to the bed, especially where you finished off the front part of it, is going to be hitting the bed most likely, even just pulling into the driveway. The frames on these rigs twist a very considerable amount in relation to the body.... Just my $0.02. Fab work and truck are looking great!

I did finish grinding the bumper over the weekend and got some primer and paint on it. It will look better when I get the Raptor Liner on it. There are plenty of spots that I would have finished better if it was to just be in paint. The texture of the Raptor Liner will cover all of the little flaws.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Nice work on the bumper. I also made mine with the steps in the corners. They are handy.
Good find on the rear axle. Did the ‘03 have the torsen style limited slip?

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
The guy I got it off of ran the BOM and said it did have a limited slip. I don't know about the different ones available for the AAM. I will have to check. torsen would be cool... better than clutches.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
My front hubs are finally ready to go back on the truck. If this weekend goes well maybe my truck can get back on all four wheels again. I am anxious to see how the wheels fit the wheel wells now.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I was able to get my hubs and rotors drilled out over the weekend. I drilled the hubs to 41/64 to have the proper press fit for the Dorman 610-283 studs. I had to drill the rotors slightly larger at 11/16 to clear the shoulder on the stud.
It sure is nice to have the old Square Body back on all 4 tires. It is even nicer to be able to turn those tires without getting into the fenders. These tires measure right at 32" and with the wheels set back jus a little into the wheel wells they clear with plenty of room.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Look at that.... I finally worked on the old square body again. I started getting my new headlights from LMC Truck put in. I am going to replace all of the screws so I didn't finish it last night. They are soooo much brighter than the old junk. I did upgrade the harness while I was at it.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
More things happening... I stumbled on a 4L80E for $200. I can't pass up that deal. I guess it is about time for me to bring home a 5.3.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
That Facebook Marketplace got me again... I picked up a new cap for $25. I like the full length glass with sliders for the last couple feet. The screens are intact and has a front slider too. I think I need to tint the glass though. It is a little narrow, but works. I may get crazy at some point and widen it. I still have another one that can share materials.
