A 4x4 E30... Done right!

[mr.mindless]

A Dana 20 or 300 might make a lot more sense if your ix is stockish. Pass drop, deeper low range, smaller, lighter.

Suggestion for your fullwidth worries: H1 wheels. 7.25" backspacing may get your tires inboard for enough to not worry about narrowing your axles. Kills all thoughts of running BMW-like appearing wheels though, which as a concept I find really attractive....

Found a Round bolt pass side drop NP205. Not an hour from me for 300 bucks

When you get the np205 can you take some measurements for me?

I am installing a locking case in my iX and I have my eye on the left side drop np205...

I need total L x W x H, and a lenth from the center of the input to the center of the front output.

Yea. Ive got some us flares in mind. Thinkin of using some ford ranger stepside flares. Cut them up to fit. The tires are temporary. Too bald and too big for my purposes. Got them for a song.

wow, no kidding about monster jam

Hmmm.. What are the specs on your scout II axles (ratio, LSD, Disc or drum?) What condition are they in? Have you been kind to them? Congrats on the NP205.

I will, Ive decided im going to use the 44s for mock up. Once i get the cummins in and situated ill swap axles so i can have the driveshafts made. Going to have to shorten them. Not looking foward to full width.
Been researching that part of the whole ordeal.

Are you going to have a pair of Scout II axles for sale soonish? The Dana 27s under my '62 Scout are woefully inadequate.

Cheap partial Ford (driver drop) 60 for you... Complete stock axles should go for around 500-600 most of the time. Spindles and hubs sometimes can fall in your lap, sometimes are tough to find.... For what it's worth

If you go to PA they're sticklers about full tread coverage... Just FYI.

Thats every other pickup truck around here. Its legal in the states.

Actually is varies from state to state. In OR your fenders must, by law, extend past the wheels. This prevents dangerous contact of the wheels with other vehicles or objects while in motion. It's not always enforced to the T, but it is the law. Not sure about the OP's state though.

Very nice idea, watching for next phase of your build. Keep up the good work. Have you check out Advanced Adaptors, they make quality parts for conversions. I am useing their motor mounts and tranny mounts on a 350, turbo 400 conversion in my FJ45 Toyota Pickup and they are beefy.

Cheers,

Jim

Yea. Pretty much anything goes as long as it is mechanically sound.

Are you going to be legal driving the car with the tires outside the fenders?
