A friend of mine with a '93 YJ & 35s did this two years ago to "save money".
All was fine until it toasted the pinion bearings. Lasted about 5k miles.

 

Well I was the quickest kid in north county, San Diego.

funny you should mention this............
My son had a problem w/his D35 (89 YJ). He is just using it to go back &
forth to Chico State, so I thought I would just drive over to West Coast
Differential for a master bearing kit & hire a friend of a friend to show me
how to do the "contact pattern " thing. (I think I have looked @ 15 or 20
illustrations - but need to do a "hands on" before I can truly understand
it). Got home, jacked it up next day & pulled the cover ----2 teeth stuck to
the magnetic filler hole plug-------back to West Coast Differential on
Monday. Well, got to the point of doing the "contact pattern" thing & I
asked "so how do you do this?" - he said "I don't know, I never have done
that. I always go by feel.". We put it together, he felt it a couple of
times & said "we should add some shims to the pinion" I told him that I had
..003", .005" & .010". he said to give him a .005", put it in & it felt good
(to him). My neighbor has a tow truck service out of his home now, but used
to own a garage & this guy worked for him for several years and he says that
he did the rear end on his tow truck about 3 or 4 yrs ago & it is still
running.
So now I think I can handle removing & replacing the parts of an
axle..................but I am still rather ignorant about the "contact
pattern" thing. Some day I will find someone to "hand hold" me thru the
process & I will have reached another milestone in my life.
