It looks like you get the knuckle only?  You\'ll have to use CJ spindles, brakes, rotor, etc?  That\'ll change your wheel bolt pattern.  If you really want to go cheap, why not source your material from a scrap yard instead?  Is a D30 a D30, no matter what year?

It\'s a WASTE of money.  It\'s still a D30.  Put that $1300 into 2/3 of a custom width matching \"mini\" 60 or something.

first, not all dana 30\'s are the same. second I kinda agree with midless exept for the fact that I spent less that the 1300 for full with 44\'s on mine including regearing and a locker. So I would look aroud for better axles if I was you.

i have a CJ Dana 30 you might be able to steal the from the nuckles out and sawp in.... but then you would have to run 5x5.5 lug on the front and get some giggles.....  i dont know if they would just bolt right up?  


i kinda wana keep it to swap the disks to my CJ some day, but you might beable to find a CJ dana30 with hubs for cheap on craigs.....

remember that the CJ 30 will have the little joints so unless you throw shafts at it, it\'s a downgrade.
