going with the strap... I have spent enough already! Also I am going to reuse my current Rancho RX9000 adjustable shocks vs. dropping another $1000 on a pair of Kings.
For anyone who is considering the Klune V and Dana 20 combo here is a quick overview of costs:
Klune: 1800
Dana 20: 200
Labor to rebuild the Dana 20: 400
Gears for the Dana 20: 75
Dana 20 rear output shaft upgrade: 450
shifters: 225
labor to put it all in with fab + lengthen front shaft+ misc shop supplies: 1500
Total: 4650
I wonder if I should have just gone with the Atlas 4 speed for that price... but can't look back now!
Here is something kind of cool to consider after the stretch and Dana 60:

Dang 4600 bucks paid for more than a third of my Jeep project with the price of the Jeep included. But hee like you said, Jeeps are a very individual thing, we built them the way we think works best. Happy crawling, when will it be done? I guess then a redo on ole Cleggy is in order, will join the fun this time :-)

Ok... got the first batch of pictures from Brothers 4x4 today.... the funniest part was when I replied to their email with the pictures with the statment "looks great, but it isn't my Jeep.. mine is the white TJ"..... I got a confused call in 3 minutes
What color should I paint the diff cover? Red or Black?

The original coil conversion kit was Rock Krawler. I just had to order the longer arms for the rear to replace the stock length arms. I should have just done the stretch when I did the original conversion... what did I know???

The nice part is that it's all bolt in. Now we got to figure out a way to make the whole suspension work as you intent it to work so you can have some fun with the Jeep with atleast 3 wheels on the ground and the nose pointed somewhere other that at the great blue sky.
The feeling of a Jeep that works the way you want, is pretty darn cool

well... progress is there... a bit slower than I would like.. but when do things ever happen as fast as we would like???

Doesn't look like I will have her back for Truckhaven this weekend... looks like I will be riding shotgun if anyone has room!!

I got some more pics with updates from Brother's this morning. I guess I should have purchased the Genright Rock sliders. I think just fabbing up a piece to fill in the gap between the inner wheel well and the bottom of the rock slider with a nice arch will work just fine. Any other thoughts or recommendations?
I think I am going to just have paint the whole Jeep Hammer Black now to make it match the new armor... ahah
