Introduction

• This is a Dana 60 Axle built to fit under a Jeep
  YJ that is into serious rock crawling.
• I picked this assembly because I own a Jeep YJ
  and enjoy building the Jeep up and then taking it
  off-road.
• Designed using everything from circles, to
  triangles, to squares, ovals, rounds, and
  extrusions.
