    Mmm. I suggest you post in the Early CJ-5 forum, or ask the moderators to move your post there for you. This forum is for 1972 models and later. No big deal, but you'll get more response in the other forum.

    IIRC, you do not need to cut the axle shafts when using the Warn hubs. I have a 66 with a D27 and I did not have to do any mods. I'm pretty sure that all I had to do was put them on and bolt them up. I've read that other manufacturer hubs require mods, but I'm not sure. Hope this helps.

    jpflat2a what's that noise?

    only very early D25 shafts with the nut on the end need to be trimmed back, cut the threaded portion off that is.
