So a fellow forum member suggested I put up a project needs list here and see what I might get from the forum members. So I am anxious to see if it might work. I know many of the items I will have to purchase, but it never hurts to ask. I have plans to hing I need, but any help I get means more money for more stuff later. Ultimately more things for the students to see and experience. Also realize that I spend about 2 hours a week contacting companies, vendors and individuals asking for help. So far it has paid off with help from MORE, Propowder Coating in Grand Junction, ARB/OME, JB Fab, to name a few...

So currently we are working hard on the frame and axles...

Front Axle gm dana 60... Our needs/wants:

4.56+ carrier

5.38 ring and pinon

Brake Calipers both sides

Brake rotors both sides

Master Install Kit

King Pin Rebuild Kit

Cross Over Steering Set up

Heavy Duty Diff Cover


Rear Axle 14 bolt...


5.38 Gears

Master Install Kit

Rear Disc Brake conversion (rotors, calipers, brackets etc.) not needed we are planning on using the drums)


Suspension...
Rubicon Express 1.5" SOA Leafs for YJ (RE 1444 I believe)
Rear Old Man EMU 2" Medium/Heavy Duty Rear XJ Springs
Blue Torch Fab Rear Stretch CJ Bumper

Body Stuff...
body mount bushings
1" body lift


OTHER:
17" rims 8 lug Chevy, Prefer Bead Locks, but price has got to be cheap
Tires 38"-40" Any brand for a 17" rim... I could even just use some really wore out for mock up

You actually want a 4.10- carrier, as far as I know all of the 5.38 gears are thick and only fit the 4.10- carrier.

Yeah I realized that after I posted. I was in a hurry between classes. Got it and will fix it... thanks for pointing it out.
