IBB who does Flat top D44 knuckle machining?

[D_JEEPER]

I want to check here first before I go out and do another business.... Does anyone here have a shop and does machining, drilling and tapping for a Flat top D44 knuckle?

I don't have a yellow skull and I'm not a real shop, but I'll do it for beer money if you can't find an offical IBB vendor to do it. Just did a set for a friend a couple weeks ago and the program is still in the machine.

I have 2 ready to go.

I bought up few axles and did them up with a plan to sell them here.

Partsmike. I believe they are in Auburn CA.

If bgaiden has it all set up, I would send it to him.

Carl Jantz is on here now I believe.

Cereal question, is there still a market for this on 44s?

 

[Gregj50!!!!!]

Is it possible to do this on d-30 outers on my rubicon 44???

 

[total newb]

Funny thing is i did that to a yj ala superduty style.

That sounds like a must have upgrade for my D28TTB! who do I send my knuckles and beer money to? ​​​​​When the box arrives enjoy the glitter surprise!

I am not sure how many 1978/1979 D44s are still out there lol. I happen to have been sitting on my set for almost 8 years now and am finally proceeding with my project. I suppose people just buy the knuckles they need now?

D44 flat tops are still out there, I have several chevy flat tops stashed away

Well that is good to know. I feel like the Jeep/offroad community is all about the bolt on stuff these days instead of torching and burning stuff together.

I didn't realize you can buy a new passenger flat top knuckle already machined with a twisted high steer arm with stud kit for under $190. https://www.ebay.com/itm/263996212338
I don't remember that being an option the last time I was doing this stuff.

Yeah, Reid knuckles have come down in price as well, too.

By the time but a set, milling , shipping, and the cost of hardware that’s a decent deal.

I had like, an hour+ long chat with one of the sales dudes out there. He happened to have built a similar setup to what I am doing but on his YJ, not a TJ. He was able to clear up a BUNCH of things and point at some points of conflict in my intended design....and I thanked him for that haha.

Fawk, I have to redesign some things with my steering.... but he caught me before I had committed to any one approach.

Wfo concepts.
Hands down one of the best shops I’ve ever dealt with. Not knocking any other suggestions.
