Well, it's finally "done". Done enough to wheel anyways. I took it up to Evans Creek last sunday and had no problems. Even got to pull a Jeep TJ up a hill he couldn't make it up.(Still had his sway bar hooked up) Had a great time, and everything worked out great.

Uppers are unmodified John Deere uppers. Lowers are cut and stuffed with a Dana 44 front axle shaft. (hey, it was the right diameter!)

Open at both ends for now. I am considering welding the rear, and have been eyeballing a front third with locker for $175.

Made it out again today. I just went up to a buddies place with some property. Got one of my old conversions going again too that I sold him. It's a 76 Ramcharger with D44frnt,D60 rear, with a 79 Datsun cab on it.





Had a great day, and didn't break anything.

The black truck in the pics is the Ramdatsun. And I have to say, alot of rigs on the internet, including TRS inspired me to build both rigs, so I'm just glad I can pass on the inspiration.

Yep, had to add a little "rice" to it for laughs. And a few days after this pic, I pulled the rear pig and welded the gears. Took it back up to Evans the weekend after and had a great time, crawled right through everything.
