[QUOTE="Speartip, post: 457427, member: 23341"] Vader is alive !! Well just about. Honestly man, looks sic! A few questions . With the big tires what gears are you going with? I imagine 5.86or higher ? Being that your diff's are just about indestructible would your drive shaft ujoints be the weak point? So you don't bust up anything up river ie. transfer case in case you jam a tire on a rock or whatever. Do you think the T Case can handle the load or do you see yourself switching to an Atlas at one point ? Which lockers did you go with? I've been doing more research for my rig. Obviously completely diff type of build . But it's educational for bouncing ideas of one another . Originally was going to go with Eaton E locker but for whatever reason the price has sky rocketed here in Canada. $1800. That's just for one locker . So I'm now thinking of a Truetrac LSD in the rear with a Spartan Helical LSD up front . Just trying to control costs a bit . If I ever tripod will just ride the brake. We don't have rock trails like they have down there . So safe to say mine is more of an overlanding rig with a few narly trails here & there. I'm planning G2 chrome moly shafts front & back. Gearing 4.56. My 3.8 has 260K so just trying not to over rev it to much on the Hwy that's why thinking 4.56. When the 33's wear out some more jumping up to a 35" . If the rain holds out for a day this weekend installing Powerstop pads & rotors and new bearings/hubs .. [/QUOTE]
