I had a RCD IFS lift on the truck and I kept breaking the front end, so I decided to do a d44 sas and DD the truck. Then I went to college and didnt need a DD, then I bought a new truck and this became offroad only, so I bought a d60/d70 combo.

I couldnt afford to build the D60/D70 combo so I sold them and continued with the d44/9". Then I decided not to continue to use the d44/9" again and sold them and bought the d60/d70 I current have.

I had a 39" TSL that I was going to buy 3 more of and run with these axles, but I found a sweet deal on the 47" LTB's. And now Im at the point where Im selling the D60/D70 and picking up a set of rockwells.

I have problems.

Yea, College really threw a wrench in my plans as far as being home to work on the pile.

 

[CHKNFKR]

you picking up dueces or 5ton rocks? I've got military manuals for both and a few contacts for hard to find parts.

 

[Toreadorranger]

2.5 tons. 5 tons are larger then I need, will just buy some ouverson shafts if I need more strength.

He's a fawkin NUTCASE! Jaaayzzuuusss Christ man! I swear to god, I havn't logged on this site in literally like a year, and when I do, I find yur thread and just as I expected, not a god damn inch of movement of forward momentum progress....










































Which is great cuz' yur Right on track with me still...

Keep it up man. I don't want to be the only one with a half a decade long build thread. I realized that I barely recognize anyone on here anymore. All the guys from way back when, before I had to re-set up my account back in 2007, I don't even know if they are on here anymore. You, dirtraider, bobbywalters, stegoman, rusty ol ranger, 4x4junkie, Will, Ericthered, AllanD, are pretty much all I remember from "the regulars" 5 or 6 years ago. I'm sure more will come to me, but I can't remember right now.

[yostyexplorer94]
