Maddawg's Madness /starting a make-over.

[pbkid]

sorry for the late post here, and even more sorry for the TJ to maddawg, but...

how come no one ever looks at swapping their front IFS to something with more readily available gears and lockers?? (i know Alan-bigmeatvx, swapped his front IFS for a dana 44 IFS, and therefore opened up more options for parts?)

Wouldnt it be relatively easy to drop a IFS out of a vehicle with the same amount of splines on the CV axles? If the CV axles plug in, you make brackets to mount it, and you make an adapter to get the driveshaft to work?
I guess i've been getting more into swapping stuff off other vehicles rather than keeping stuff that breaks and keep on fixing it. Maybe thats the thoughts of an SAS on my own vehicle speaking, i dunno.

I don't believe Alan ever actually completed the swap. He looked into it and was collecting parts but I believe that was as far as it got. He was also planning on changing out the spinddles and going to use larger (bigger spline count) shafts.
If you're going to do all that you might as well do a SAS unless you love ifs that much.
