I'm sorry, I missunderstood what you were asking. I believe the halfshafts are Vx specific. They are almost the same as the ones on the other 10 bolt diffs. The difference being that some of the axle shafts (between the CV's) are slightly different lenghths. The company that rebuilt mine led me to believe that there are other models that are the same lengths. Howeve, I don't have any evidence to support this claim, so take it with a grain of salt.

Has anyone checked into the Dana 60's to see if they have a fit for the front end? I saw the Dynatrac d 60's that Walker Evans has set up front and rear on his competition crawler and they are sweet! I am sure the price tg is equally as sweet, but was just curious.:naughty: :thumbup:
You can have a Dana60 built for whatever you want, and however you want it. I think that may be a little more axle than a Vx needs though. ...unless your running 37+" tires. But yeah, that would definitely be sweeet.

OK, so IF a person like myself wanted to have a Dana60 built for one '00 VX... where would he go to get sucha thing? Just curious. Inquiring mind wants to know.Quote:

TTYL!
97-99 Troopers (w/o center axle disconnect) RH and LH CVs
are the same as the VX...
also 99-01 troopers, either side CV axle will work on
PASSENGER side ONLY for the VX

East coast , maybe http://www.tellico4x4.com could likely set you up.
I believe Michael Woods had the 60's for his awsome Amigo done at http://www.boyceequipment.com (probably modified military bolt pattern 60's)
MO? who knows
Moser Engineering
Dutchman Motorsports
Currie Enterprises
Dynatrac
Are also good sources.
Realize though, you are not talking some cheapy minor mod here. This is the ***** and it aint cheap. If you have a dana 60 in front. That is not IFS, that is a solid axle. Then you are talking coil over springs, driveshafts, bake booster, master cyl, and such which will add another 1500(ish) to the picture. You are looking at at least 3.5k to do this yourself, and probably closer to 4.5k+.
GMC has a 1 ton IFS that might be modifiable for the front of a Vx.
I doubt any of these mods would be worth it to most people, unless they are serious rockcrawlers.
And BTW, If you do it, I'mma come drool on your truck!

THX Alan,, Thats more of the type of thing that belongs in this thread. Somewhere on the board I have the equivalent trooper rear axles listed. you might copy that there too.

It appears the RD44 would fit the VX Rear;Db;
Yes, I believe you are right. We were just discussing that in the ARB thread.
