Hi I meet up with the founder of Old Willys Fourm at LB memorial hospital. I don’t remember your name, sorry brother.
I’m currently building JK axles for my 06 LJ. I would like to pick up a Willys wagon. As that was my first jeep I rode in.
Thank you
Robert
 
Welcome, Robert.

How hard is it to convert JK axles to a TJ/LJ?
 
Hi Grimscale, how mechanical are you? You need to torch/ grind off all the existing brackets without cutting into the axle tube to bad. Then have a welder that can weld 1/4” thick brackets. This link is the kit I used. Good instructions.

It took me some time as I worked on it on and off. To much life going on :)
The bottom line is it is do able. Have a buddy help out and share the work.
Good luck if you try it.
These kits are beefy. The way jeep should build their axles!

Thanks for the welcome
 
Welcome to the forum. Not sure who you met at LB Memorial Hospital, but it wasn't me... I'm the founder/owner of OWF :)
