Anyone have plans this Saturday? I will be heading to uwharrie for a day trip if anyone wants to meet up. Weather should be decent.

Ride of the Month Winner
My early April Windrock trip was a blast. Came out with a bent lower control arm bracket, dented windshield frame and some new skid marks.
Not a bad day yesterday. Weather was really good. At the outpost, was asked if I could guide the two JLU’s, so let them tag along. With Dickey bell closed, did almost all the trail system minus the lake view trail. More broncos and SXS’s than jeeps it seemed.
When I was there a few weeks ago, it was almost all SXS and dirt bikes. Where's your son at? How's he liking his ride?
He turns 16 in August so not yet there. Plus, his Jeep is on jack stands. Waiting on BMB front brake setup in the mail and a few more things that needs taken care of before he officially hits the road.
Before I pull the diff covers off again, did all TJ’s with the rear 35 come with 3.73’s or 3.07’s? The rear is missing the plate that shows it.
As far as know, 3.07 was the most common, but factory options were 3.07, 3.55, 3.73, 4.11, 4.56, so you'll need to look for a stamp or count teeth to know for sure. It seems like I read that 4.56 was only available on 4-cylinders, but that might be wrong.
Hey @Jamesval035 I have a set of good factory 35 axles and a like-new set of spider gears (I put less than 5000 mile on them before swapping to a locker). If you want any of that, just let me know. I can easily send the spider gears and if you want the axles I'll just meet you at Uwharrie one day.
Thanks for the offer. I’ve been searching for a Dana 44 to replace the 35. Just something that we can get to try our hand at regearing.
When I was looking, they were so few and overpriced, I figured out a 44 would have cost me about $1,000 more than a Super35. That's something to consider. Having said that, have you seen the one that @kam04LJ has listed https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/rear-44-3-73-with-lsd.78198/ If I had found a deal like that, I would probably have built a 44.
I’ve been driving around here locally for parts. Grabbed Currie front uppers from @thekidwithquestions, found an advanced adapters sye for $150 on FB too. Piling up parts to fix everything that’s wrong with it so he can drive comfortably and safely.

Hows your build going by the way? I saw you have a Dana 44 for sale. I live over in Raleigh, if its still forsale i'd like to come grab it to swap my Dana 35 with!
Build is on pause for a few weeks bc I am moving. I do have the 44 and would absolutely love to not move it.
Let’s dm
Short notice, but headed to uwharrie tomorrow for the day off anyone is considering going.
Also, Dickey bell opened up last week
