NateOrdered more blades for the portaband last night, when they get here its BACK TO WORK not he 60. Im starting to get excited! Now all I need is some sweet sponsorship deal, a rich uncle, or maybe a sudden inheritance to be able to afford to finish the project.. but that’s a future Nate problem. :P #jeep #dana60 #justemptyeverypocket
So, i've been working on these #dana60 axles. And i've been stressing a bit about overall width. Should i narrow it? will it fit on my trailer?
So i started doing some guesstimating, figured out that this isn't as easy to calculate as i thought it would be! So i found a site that had a calculator on it! But it's broken. Luckily they shared the formula.
So, I decided to make my own on swbcrawler.com! So if you're looking to calculate the estimated width of your new build, head over to swbcrawler.com and look up the overall width calculator!
I ran the numbers for my #jeep as it sits. and it was pretty dang close! within an inch or so when you take away the width of the level i used to hook my measuring tape to, and the fact that the jeep is sitting on low tire pressure here in the garage (making the sidewall wider).
check it out! Plug in your dimensions and let me know how close it gets!

This axle is gonna kill me. Here's two photos -- 1st one I took during gear setup with a setup race. 2nd one was tonight after my final-assembly races/bearings were installed. The race added maybe 0.001" of depth, but the ring gear has almost 0.005" of radial run-out. :( Tomorrow, I'll tear it down and do another setup with a 0.006" pinion depth shim and call it.
