for the warn or for the oem?

My hubs need servicing and I was curious, if I get the warn manual hubs or even the nissan manual hubs out of a junkyard, are either of those servicable without special tools? I don't want to have to pay to get my bearings serviced by a shop.

I've seen these axles hold up to a lot of abuse under cherokees and jeeps alike. I can get ahold of a HP d30 with 4.56 gears/disks brakes for $200 and am seriously considering it since my front end needs a lot of replacing and I'll need new (bigger) tires soon anyway. The d44 is stronger than the d30 anyday, i know that. It makes more sense because there isn't the cost of hub adapters, i know that. On the other hand they are cheap and plentiful, and are ready to swap without regearing or even cracking the axle open for that matter. Running 33's on the road and 35's on the trail shouldn't break the axle anyway. Long story short, my question to those more experienced than I am, is that if I put a d30 with leaf springs under my 94, with the steering set-up and leaf spring/shock perches match up to a d44 later down the road?

So is there still a need for the HD chevy outer TRE if using the 2wd d21 setup? The parts are pretty cheap on rockauto so i think I'll do the same. The center link and 2 inner TRE should be less than $200, plus the stabalizer will still be less than the grassroots system. Keep us posted dood, but since mine is already bent I think i'll just pick one up and swap em over.

I'm not the original owner and I don't know what previous engine work was done but i've replaced the thermostat, timing belt, all other belts, water pump, filters, fuell pressure regulator, one injector just for fun, new radiator, engine temp sensor, starter, 90 amp alternator, probably some other stuff too but its never let me down. Had some starting problems but that was fixed with the new starter. I also attached a 4 guage ground from the block to the firewall recently and that helped with a lot of the power loss. Have been thinking about getting rid of it and getting a jeep or sammi but I just can't imagine letting all that hard work go to waste, so I'll be doing the 2wd hardbody steering upgrade or grassroots to give it some more strength.

I've got 260k + on my 94 wagon. It feels good to be a part of the quarter-million club!

Also, isn't the tie rod end itself pretty strong vs. the center tapered part? Any way to strengthen that, or is that a 1 ton chevy part too?

Any chance you guys know the part number for those GM tie rods?
