1949 Willys Rear Passenger Side

Prev Next
The CJ-3A retains its factory axles. The Spicer 25 in front has a Lock-Right locker and Warn hubs, while the Spicer 44 in the rear is full floating with a Detroit Locker and Warn hubs. Bill chose the full-floating system so he could drive (or at least tow) it out of the boonies in case of axleshaft breakage. It also allows him to flat-tow the Willys to and from the trail without removing the rear driveshaft.
