All D44s are 10 bolt. Isuzu only used them in the rear so would be tough to make them work right. You can flip them for a high pinion and make the gears turn right but then you have oiling issues for the pinion bearing.

Side note, when I was at the pull n pay this weekend ALL the isuzu D44s were torn apart and the r&p gears gone. Jeep guys like to use them.

Instead of a hybrid 12bolt/d60, if I wanted to spend big money, I would go with some Atomic Axles..

Nice Billy! A Rodeo Tcase would work too BTW. I might be willing to sell you mine :)

Nah, you still got cv's...might as well stick with the IFS! Now a nice set of spider 9's on the other hand. Man I just need Ian and the Xtreme 4x guys to come build me my dream VX!:yeso:

I've had the same thought about that show. How awesome would it be for them to go hog wild on a VX? That guy is talented, but of course a million bucks worth of tools and equipment will help anybody look good. I miss Jesse though.

Much larger and stronger cv's though. And the angle is fixed so no extreme angles where cv's usually break.

I wrote to those guys about 18 months ago....

...offered them the "Astral" VX I picked up from Atlanta with the blown tranny.

I offered to hook them up with parts "sponsorship" etc from Indy/OME-ARB / Clamini etc....and to put some $$'s into the project.

Never heard a word back from them......:(

Yeah I did that almost 5 years ago as well right at the time Jessie got hurt -I got no reply either.
