Hope that's a Scout bullgear on the back of the T-18. The Dana300 bullgear is different than the Dana20, and the Scout is unique. I built 2 Jeeps over the years with that combo, and it's the lowest geared, shortest combo you can get. My last Jeep had 4:88 gears in the diffs, and with that combo, low/low was 80:1, worked great with 37" tires. Look into the Currie Dana300 twin stick unit. It gives you a 2-low, and front wheel drive option. There was a guy making a T-18 adapter for the Jeep Dana300 that used the Scout bullgear. He quit making them years ago when the supply of Scout bullgears dried up. I've come across a couple of the Scout 300s without the bullgears, but they're worthless without them. Bob tufcj |

Waiting for Wrangler front spring conversion mounts from Rocky Mountain and Chromoly front axles from Woodys. Quadratec has been horrible to deal with. I have been waiting for real axle bearing retaining rings since April 5th. They sent me everything but the bearing retaining rings and I can't assemble the rear axles without them. Also waiting on the front locker.
The Dana 44 front conversion has been a challenge. finding all the right mix of components but I think I should have it all in a week or so. Going to start working on the Wrangler tub I got from Alabama, completely rust free

Hey Joe. Have you found front spindles yet? I ran across a pair of the "small Journal" spindles the other day. These are Dana 44 spindles that fit the bearings/rotors from a Ford F-150 or full size Bronco. Let me know if you need them. Bob tufcj
