What shafts, gears and rear axle?

His rear aam will be reliable

Front it a stronger 31 spline 10 bolt, with upgrades he should have some room for reliability with a selectable, skinny rubber and a light foot.
That was a generalization towards 10 bolts and horsepower. I just know my stock shafts and 4.10s wouldn't like 37s [emoji45]

I think what y'all have figured out will do well.
 
Completely agree, but pricing gears for front/rear, lockers (ARB at that) then a compressor system, chromos, joints etc. It adds up quick is all I was getting at.

If he can swing it, go for it, but last I knew he didnt even have a DD...


his family is being very supportive to see the truck done. He has a driver that they were not using, he can daily the truck once it's complete and kink free.:thumb:

My advice was to finish the truck and later buy a 2500.00 or what ever 40mpg beater.

I'm all about making it reliable and the parts working easier to over come and obstacle verse working against each other :thumb:

Then get after it :D

Whats a 31 spline 10 bolt? Never heard of that. Wish I wouldnt have wasted time on these 30 spline parts if thats the case :whistle:
 
I have cash saved up but it is needed to finish this. It will be my dd for awhile. I'm cruising around a vehicle right now that just gets parked.
 
These are starting to look more and more appealing to me, not very many options for a 16 inch wheel. They are almost $100 cheaper then the 345/75/16 KM2's but the red labels are a inch shorter and a inch less in width.

I do enjoy how half of the product description is a nicely worded paragraph that they suck in ice and packed snow and "how to take care of the red lettering".:haha:

Otherwise, looks fine!
 
Yea I can get some Destination MT for less then that


Can build the quote from my store and they can look it up down their and be able to see it, I think. Maybe.
 
Part that sucks is I would enjoy doing a snow run with this truck but it's going to be once a year, I want it to be enjoyable though. But should that sway me to a different tire? Probably not... This truck is going to live in the desert and see some woods every now and then.

Hmmm, I will have to check and see what Firestone has to offer. Thank you for the heads up.
 
The Grabber seems to be a good desert tire. I really dig the red letters on the sidewall on most of them. Looks cool.
 
Yes and yes on the last few posts.:doah:

Honestly, I won't be wheeling this truck very hard, it is more of a driver. Hardest I will push it is blazer bash once a year if I make it.
