I can understand the tank, but why are you selling the bed?
Next mod is to link the rear. I just think it will be easier to start from scratch than tryin to add to it.

Major Payne doesn't look like he's 14 anymore... and he's not wearing sandals... what did you guys do to him?
 
Yeah, but Marshall Mathers does. haha. I saw him at dabar in De'roit dressed just like that only his jeans were "bluer" if such a word exists.


On a more serious note, for some reason your group's videos always makes me actually want to go play in the rocks. Usually I see a "crawling" video and I just say "that's kind of neat" and delete it. Yours I actually mirror and share with people.

How are you guys getting Warn lockouts to survive?
 
The brown k5 is the only one running warns I believe. I run flanges as does everyone else I think... But, my warns never gave me a problem, I had 35 spline premiums and never had a problem.

Do you have a list of parts you used/would use in your 60? I know you built yours a couple years ago and a lot of new vendors exist. I've got a good idea but I've got two to build and don't want to spend money on the same item several times trying to find what I want.
 
Lol I have "built" my dana 60 about 7 times now... Only thing origional is the 5.13's and ARB. So far my latest shaft setup has proved to be a strong setup which is the Superior shafts and CTM u-joints along with the 35 spline drive flanges. I haven't been able to break them yet with 44's but I think I'm going to longfields before TTC if I get in.

What did you start with? Those drive flanges Highonda sells caught my eye. Then probably Yukon shafts and joints when they come out. I was going to buy Bobby's birfs but the price keeps going up and right now I could buy almost 3 sets of Yukon shafts/joints for the price of his birfields. I was going to buy ARBs but the price on them has gone up enough where I'm going to end up with Detroits instead... the only reason I wanted ARBs is for streetability. 5.38 gears. Hopefully buy Dedenbears for the front and the rear right away... if not, probably get rid of the Ford stockers first. I'm still undecided on steering arms.
 
Started with spicer non-neckdown inners and greasable joints and 35 spline outers. Broke lots-o-joints. Then went to spicer 806x joints when they became popular and started breaking lots of those and they were taking out the ears of the shafts. Then I moved to Yukon shafts with 806x joints and they lasted a little longer but then had the same outcome. Then did the yukons with CTM's and lasted ALOT longer but in the end the ears stretched to where I could stick an 1/8" allen wrench between the caps and ears... Then I got the Superiors and CTM's and keep my yukon's plus CTM's for spares. I need to rebuild my CTM's though, somehow a few of the grease fittings rattled out and they packed with sand.

I'm still running stock knuckles but plan on going with Cranes if I have a problem, but I don't think I will since I don't run high steer or ever plan to. Plus I plan on swapping to those 416's as soon as I find another front for the rear so I don't want to throw too much more money into the 60/14.
