Well besides the one "bad weld" anyone have anything else to say about it?

Awwwhh...thats what grinders are for.

Nice work Allen. We are going to have to reintroduce ourselves when we meet again. Won't recognize the rig anymore.

Seriously Mike, every weekend is work on this work on that.. haha but when this project is done were gonna have some fun so watch out for that

...just pokin some fun...but yes i hope to see you out there when your rig is all updated...btw get rid of those 3.07 gears yet?

:omg:

[swbooking]

For sure Bob, your gonna have to be on its maiden run. JB, Holcomb, and DP? Sound good?

HAHA NO! 3.07s and 33s ROCK!!

i wish actually. i just cant justify spendin $800 just to have to re-gear another axle. im just gonna wait to change them when i do my axle swap. Probably an explorer 8.8. But I havent completly decided on that one, I might go bigger or do D44s from a rubicon. we'll see.

....... I might go bigger or do D44s from a rubicon. we'll see.

:confused2 I would go with an 8.8.. rubi 44's arent all that

[swbooking]

yeah ive heard that, but they already have a locker and i can just swap some alloy shafts into them. Its all gonna depend on alot of things, thats a little ways off for right now. but yeah im leaning towards the 8.8

[RUGD JP]

Any axle swap isnt gonna be "cheap" per say. You can find a 8.8 for $250 newer exploers.. late 90's. You get disc brakes, 31spine shafts, possible 4.10 and a limited slip.
Without blinging it out, you can get it under your rig for uner $600 total (assuming you weld)

[swbooking]

Yeah like i said its a while off and will depend on a lot of stuff, but thanks for the info.

disc brakes are so over-rated go for something better then an 8.8.. they are pieces IMO
