So how screwed is my Jeep?

I thought Toyota trucks were the baddest vehicles on the planet? Maybe you should scrap the Jeep and buy one.

Dont make fun of the poor guy...he had his crossfit session at the local gas station cut short worrying about this.

They are... everywhere ELSE on the planet. Fucking EPA won't allow the Hilux here, so we have Jeeps.

At least he was wearing new kicks

Ya, they were probably planning on the swap and you came along. Blackford is correct, check the ratios but if it came with the Jeep, the odds are they will match. This will make the fix even easier.

I have a second front axle that came with the Jeep that is I believe a D30 (or maybe even a 44) off a later model CJ ... its also got calipers and rotors (but no pads). Often thought about just installing it so I'd have front disk brakes, this might be the opportunity to do just that.

Build it... break it... fix it.... REPEAT

45 year old Jeep... sounds like it still has a lot of life in her... you don't hear to much of "other" brand name rigs that get that far

I'm glad it sounds like your Jeep isn't too badly screwed.

Which ever axle you pick still needs to be gone thru before you spend all that time putting it together. If there's rust on the gears it will destroy the bearings and seals.
Might as well do it right and replace the bearings and seals now.

Deep down inside, every Jeep really wants to be a first gen Bronco...

Would LOVE a first gen Bronco, closest I ever got was a Binder.
