hey guys, just wanted to give you an update on the truck. im happy with it, its working great, and performs well off road. i welded my spider gears a couple weeks ago, and i dont have any issues yet. awesome traction off road! it does chirp one tire when turning on pavement. Im planning an upgrade to my running gear this fall. going with a dana 60 rear, and dana 44 in the front. I believe i can get the front solid axle from a ford, but havent looked into it that hard yet. im getting the d60 from a dodge, my buddy knows where one is with a set of 4.10 gears in it allready. ill have to get a new pic, i added a roll bar and 4 more lights. driving at night is great

 

Sweet! Yeah the ford front axle should be your best bet from what I've heard. I can't wait to see the pics!!

 

Ya lets see some pics. Have you drivin it hard offroad? Any times you thought you were going to brake something but didn't? I'm surprised at that front axle. I thought that was going to be first.

 

Ive been a little rough with it, but nothing major. ive taken it places in 2wd that other 4x4s have gotten stuck in, or just didnt have the ground clearance to make it. im happy with that for now, ive only needed 4wd a couple times. tore the wiper off on a fishing trip last wknd, and ripped 2 cv boots... trees in the way lol. its my daily driver, so i wont be going ***** to the wall untill i get the HD drive train.

 

Sweet! I love it!
