I recently bought an 83 cj8 and it’s my first 4x4 project. Always had an interest in Jeeps and been super lucky to buy this as a project. Can’t wait to get started on it

It shouldn't be hard to find a replacement dana 30. Don't know where you're located, but around here there's always one or two on Craigslist.

I live in Maui Hawaii so it’s kinda hard to come across anything.

I was trying to guess with the palm trees in the background. Hawaii was a guess but I can probably count on one hand the members from Hawaii on the forum.

In that case - you'll have a harder time finding something. I'm not familiar with the direct/almost direct swaps +/- custom cut downs. Some here on the forum are much more familiar with that sort of stuff.
