What happens here

The video then shifts to the 2000-2005 Dana 60 front axle for the LJ. The presenter notes that he has just finished pulling off the knuckles and shafts, a challenging task. He plans to further strip this axle down to bare components, clean it, paint it, and re-gear it, similar to the rear axle. He mentions a custom-built axle stand, made from 2x2 quarter-wall tubing, is used to hold both axles, allowing for easier manipulation and work.
