Cheap One Ton Axle Swap for Jeep XJ Part 2

In today's video I document some of the details of the one ton swap on my Jeep XJ. This swap used a Dana 60 and a Sterling 10.5 from a 2002 f-350. Custom brackets and long arms. I reused factory drive shafts with conversion u-joints. The swap costed around $1000 which was great because I was able to hit the trail and upgrade as things broke. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for part 2!

How did you get drive shafts to work on the front and rear since the steering has the flat flange

[@bigrockprojects9216]

They sell a 1350 flat flange and then I used a 1350 to 1310 conversion u joint to the driveshaft

I just picked up a sterling 10.25 what rear truss and u bolt did you use and was it hard?

[@bigrockprojects9216]

It was a CW truss I believe he’s only local to CT

So in this video you are still running the 3.73 gears?

[@bigrockprojects9216]

Yeah I still have them and it’s been my daily

[@patricsturm5473]

Do you have unibody stiffners at all???

[@bigrockprojects9216]

Yes homemade with angle iron in the center and 3/16” plate in the front and the back. I spent less than a third of what it would cost but I still wish I bought a set. It would have save a lot of time
