Both guys I have had do em are now in jail.
I expected a response like this. I should have worded that differently. Shouldn't have said hard to find. Just that there were limited in comparison to D44.
not that limited I pulled those up in a minute search so there are options for 10 bolt guys.
I can't afford a used D60 then to rebuild and gears for it.
I can afford to do gears myself at work in my 10 bolt , U joints,ball joints where all replaced little over year and half ago with spicer parts. I don't mind open front diff for now. Not like I live near Moab or any where super cool to go off roading.

Lol guess I don't want them then.
Hey I moved to Idaho!
Thanks for all the info. I prob won't worry about upgrading to something bigger until after i break my little axle a few times at least. No sense wasting money. I think I might just save money and do the knuckle swap on my 10 bolt and the front suspension then add crossover and maybe slowly build the 44 for a spare front end. Plenty of things to do and spend money on for now.
Wade runs a 10 bolt still
Why do I feel like I just got told off because I'm running a 60? 
At no point did I knock, or will I ever knock, the capabilities of the 10b or the D44. Many guys, such as Wade, Luke, bent72, ashman, Phil, and many others showed in Moab the those axles are all you need to get the job done. But my rig came stock with neither.
Sorry Luke for the hijack.

Lol. True!Don't get butt hurt now, it's just the internet
All I was saying is what alot of people say don't go over board or buy stuff you don't need at this time.
Trust me I want a D60 but can't afford it and would be over kill for my truck at this point!
I will run my 10 till breaks couple times and then upgrade. Then finding one that is not $$$ as heck will be a chore.
I like your truck alot and would not think of putting a 10 bolt under that style ever!

Your big pig and driving style definitely needs a 60 lol. If one drops in my lap for a sweet price I'll definitely go that route.Why do I feel like I just got told off because I'm running a 60?

LOL! Yep! That happened. And i know we all could have done without the POW.
Speaking of that have you added a rear traction bar or are you bringing a spare driveshaft and rear yoke and seal to blazer bash? @4door
No traction bar yet. But it will happen. plenty of spare driveline parts will be brought, including complete spare rear and front driveshafts.
Good idea. I have a ton of stuff to do before Blazer Bash. Kinda waiting to get into our new house, we close on next fri. I will have a nice surprise! I need to register, work on blazer, get lodging setup, and maybe get spare parts now since I have to travel to Moab.
Where did you buy I might be down tonight
I was working and saw your message just now. Southwest of Rigby but we don't close til the 31st. I should get you my number for when you come over this way or if I come over your way. We went to Jackson a few weeks ago and came back through Alpine.
