Great video. This series is really helpful to me as I am currently starting to refurb an XJ HP Dana30 to swap into my TJ.

Awesome video Dustin! Your front diff came out really nice . I have the same Metalcloak front trackbar but haven't installed it yet. I have a Artec trackbar mount that I need to have welded in first . I watched your driveshaft install video earlier and it was quite enjoyable. Looking forward to your next video Dustin. Take care.

Great video. I followed along your whole series on the build. I also built a Dana 30 with all the same mods, but I’m also doing a WJ knuckle swap at the same time.

Great stuff. About to do this job on my TJ

Great video!! Do you think this swap is overkill for a daily driver tj, im gonna be running core4x4 short adjustable arms with Johnny joints on both sides, 3 inch lift teraflex coils on 33s ko2s. I have an 8.8 rear installed already and im not sure if i should build the d30 or do this hp d30. My other options are to get a d44 off a rubi. Build is a daily driver some highway time and trails.

The problem with RC BJs is that they wont sell you just one or two if 1 or 2 fail. Same thing with TREs.

I forgot to ask before, how did pushing the axle forward an inch work out? Did it cause any inteference, etc?

What wheels are you using on the tan XJ and this TJ? Lookin for dimensions of that and the tires too!!
