Ok, this isn't a Jeep pic, but I had to post it anyway. Our scrambler brother mudbud/Jason is up near Traverse City, MI and has a landscaping/plow company. With the lake effect machine in full swing for weeks, he's been plowing nonstop with no breaks, like, ever, to keep up with his clients.
He texted me this picture this morning. So while we officially have the snowiest January on record for Detroit (31.5" as of last night, but it's been snowing all day today with more to come), it's all relative.
There's a building in there somewhere...

Rollin'! This worked pretty well - just narrow enough I didn't bounce off too many trees. Got hung up a couple of times but didn't have to disconnect it, just shovel. My wife says she wants to ride on it, so I put a seat back there.
Gonna have to switch from hip boots to chest waders - went in the snow over top a few times this evening. And it's snowing hard still.

This somewhat qualifies... winter, snow, and Jeep... axles that is.
Picked up a set of NT axles for the wifes Jeep.
They are stamped AA and that means 2.73, so I had to yank the springs off of them to get them on some rollers and into the garage.
IT WAS COLD today.
10 degrees out and windy, very very windy.
So, got the springs off and got some dollies and got back into the workshop where I worked on the wheels that I posted up on another thread.
COLD COLD COLD... but feeling is returning to my hands
Now, for those of you that watched Sesame Street as kids, or with your kids now.
"One of the things is NOT like the other things", see if you can figure out what I found out today when doing this.

DING DING DING!
Very good eye... the funniest part was I loaded them in the snow, and the end I had was the 6 bolt, and I was sure it was a NT from the measurements.
So, I get home, use the tractor to unload them and go to move them on the driveway and I see the 5 bolt... then I start scratching my head wondering how I got WIDE TRACKS and couldn't figure out what was going on... pretty funny until I looked at the other side and then re-measured to see if they had grown into larger axles.
All in all, I just need the housings as the setup in the wife's CJ5 has a SSBC front disc brake conversion on it and the rears are just drums.
I will strip them all down and paint them and then swap them under and then sell of the rest of the parts, but that is for another day.
I just wanted to get them in where it was warm.
For anyone wondering why go through the trouble... she has 4.10 in there now and these are 2.73
She drives it on the highway and the 4.10, T150 and the 31's, the engine is screaming to go 60 mph
There is no tach on the thing, but if you try to push it to 70, you can hear engine and only engine.
It is no fun to drive on the highway.
It was originally a 4 banger from what we can tell and with the tires (probalby closer to 30 inches than 31) and the T150 no overdrive, it is too much.
2.73 is lower than I wanted to go, was looking 3.31, but it will do better than the 4.10.

Yeah, I did it on the Scrambler already on the Wide Tracks I have on there.
Those are from a 1986 with the Dana 44, so I have no choice on those but to regear them as those are 2.73 and I want to run 35's, but all in due time... axles, wheels, and other projects are keeping me busy right now.
I still have to get to the RHD CJ7 and finishing putting the floor in!

Well, for here it is snow! Chattanooga after about 30 minutes-
Compared to what you guys up north are getting, this is a dusting, but folks here don't really know how to handle driving in snow.

No snow here, but freezing rain made a mess of things. I ca hardly walk to the garage it's so slippery. No driving for me- here's a pic of a Subaru that rolled right in front of our property. No injuries. There were almost 2 more wipeouts while I was helping her unload her stuff out of the Subie.
