New Dana 60 front axle build for the wrecker by BSF Recovery Team

[@danf4616]

Seems like most of us like your build and fix videos as much or more than the recoveries! 👍👍

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

Thanks 👍

[@joeclarke9782]

Thank you.

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

You're welcome!

[@stevenburton2302]

Love the build and mods to make it more capable

[@zackberry3285]

U should paint the front axle housing black for the wrecker

[@theforgotten081]

Thanks for the tips and tricks!

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

You bet!

[@marty0715yt]

Sweet explanation. Yo Da Man

[@thefarcenteristhepartyyoun4787]

Eric, you remind of a dude I worked with when I was a dealer tech, he lasted 47 years at the dealer. Flat rate sucks, I lasted six. You should run your own shop, or not, it's up to you.

[@levic9787]

a spacer under that cap will help too

[@DB-yj3qc]

I need to send a link of this video to my Jeep dealership service dept. So they can see how to remove a tie rod with out screwing it up with a pickle fork. 🤔 I told them that after I found the torn rubber on mine.😖 Reminds me I need to go find a few D44 front axle's to build for my LJ and XJ one w 4:56 the other 3:73 hmmm.

[@floydstowe]

I hope some of the people you helped on the trail helped you your great peaple love the videos thanks

[@tcrasey]

You are even better than I thought! Can’t wait to see what you do putting it back together!

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

Thanks, coming soon.

[@bigdaddyroadwarrior2976]

Nice!

[@sighpocket5]

Nice!!!!!

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

Thanks!

[@bigdaddyroadwarrior2976]

I like it

[@jasonmarkowitz5397]

Nice job guys. Just finished a rear 60 in my CJ7 (narrowed to CJ width too)

[@robertproteau4113]

I was surprised to hear that you were breaking grade 8 bolts on your spring retainer. I think upgrading the retainer plate would solve that issue. Good video can’t wait to see you back on the trail.

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

If I custom made a plate that dropped over the spring so the bolts could be shorter, then the spring might not have the leverage factor to flex them so much.

[@edwardgaskin4245]

Making it look easy.

[@cruisinsillaf9671]

I need that exact axle and gear set lol

[@waltersteffensthezr2man431]

Can't wait for the rest of the videos absolutely love this stuff!!!

[@imzackson]

While the nuts and bolts of the build only minorly interest me i cant wait for the e locker portion!!!!!! you should also do a carb tuning/build yours seems to run pretty well and theres many folks that could use improvement.

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

My carb was built (years ago) following a very old article in a 4 wheel magazine on how to build a Holley for off-road.

[@imzackson]

@@offroadrecoveryteam Job well done then I might say have a great night!!!!

[@leoncolyer9420]

question: if you put a solid block between the housing and spring pad where the 3 bolts go through . that might stop breaking and twisting the bolts off .

[@007twm]

Thanks for another great video.

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

Our pleasure!

[@ronfrance4041]

Great video, thanks for taking the time to do these

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

No problem 👍

[@valve-do3jc]

More, please & thank you

[@brandonrichter6910]

Don't toss those spring plates, I had to pay out the butt for aftermarket ones as the axle I bought didn't have any mounting hardware and the bolts were snapped off in the casting.

[@lloydrobinson7081]

cool video, keep them coming

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

Thanks, will do!

[@davebowman8537]

Try ARP studs

[@jeffgreathouse8428]

Got a 66

[@HalfCutGarage]

Kind of odd the all different don't have drain plugs ....... was there a reason ? Finally stopped snowing in the north so we may get some wheeling in soon!

[@backyardbuilttrucks1]

Would putting studs work better on the inside where the 3 bolts go.

[@haroldphipps3457]

Some people put nice ARP studs there.

[@gmoore1985]

@13:34, 😬 oops, should have caught that.

[@tobydyes]

I figure 6 more episodes before axles back under truck

[@johnbrill1971]

I have a question for you sir, I was wondering if you are employed or work for yourself and run the wrecker on the weekends?

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

I do have a day job at a GM dealer.

[@johnbrill1971]

Oh ok I thought I remember in one of your videos I saw you worked for a dealer so that's awesome sir and thank you for the response

[@kmc468]

💯👍

[@haroldphipps3457]

How were the Torrington bearings on the inside of the spindle?

[@offroadrecoveryteam]

That video is coming up.

[@brianhaw9398]

All these guys complaining about how long this is taking but none of them have any videos on KZbin! If you can do it better or faster show us, build a channel and a following and make some KZbin money!

[@treverwhetzel9603]

Yeah, isn't it something? His channel. He can do it how he wants. Period, dot, end of sentence.

[@tobydyes]

You really know how to stretch a video

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Man I thought this video would be getting the axel all tour down & show the rebuild of the axel and maybe showing you putting the rebuilt axel back under the truck!! But nope there is definitely going to be at least 3 or 4 videos of it!! You sure do no how to get a guys hopes up on stuff!! I’ve rebuilt plenty of Dana 60 & 70 so I guess it’s not to inform me on how to do it thank goodness!!

[@haroldphipps3457]

Sounds like you should start up your own channel, and make training videos!!!!!

[@haroldphipps3457]

I am guessing you missed the PART 1 in the title then,,,,,,, Wordz is important!
