alright, I have this jeep. I paid 1500 for it, its a 93 wrangler. has like 2 milion miles on it. 6 cyl, auto. On the nicer end of the beater scale.
I managed to blow the rear end in it a while back. To much R-N-D fitness while stuck... lmao, rev nutral drive. lol
So natrually being the redneck that I am, I trow er in 4wd and drive home. Wored mint, kept driving around for 150 miles or so and the transfer case seemed to blow or sumthin..:eek2:
But when in reverse it will still move, so of course I drive home in reverse.
It now seems that if I fix the rear end, 2wd will still work regardless of the transfer case issues.
so, being the chepo that I am. Why not weld the spider gears. Well I would but I have been strongly advised by my pops that welding spider gears can cause the axle to snap and fall out, bad idear.
So, today while running a compactor. I thot why not just take the spider gears out. and weld 1 one of the axles to the housing???
this way it will be perminetly one wheel drive, while the other tire will simply free wheel.
I realize that it isnt exacty what you would want, but will it get me around till I go to a junk yard and get a complete rear end assy.
