ok...been reading a lot here about the aluminum D30.

what is a fairly straight forward swap to upgrade? I have lots of D30 axles and a couple D30 complete out of XJ's.

so....if you have links Im all about reading up on more....I googled some Pirate threads....but they were a lot of non-tech discussions.

Im still :google: but thought some of the techies here might have some info.

Without going to a full SFA conversion, you can't. The only upgrade available is the steel model from JbA, the alu D30A that we have cannot be swapped with a D30 from any other source. You'll find some comment on this on threads here - search function is your friend :D

Basically what lancer said is true. If you can afford to do a SFA swap then do that (10k or more to do so), otherwise the only option is a steel d30 from JBA. Im going the latter route as a final setup unless I win the lottery. The steel d30 should serve any purpose you intend to use the jeep for unless you NEED a SFA.
