i had no idea what he meant either... but i just went back and scoured the pics and found it.. look at this pic closely.. one 'four legged inspector' is easy to spot, the other is slightly hidden

 

[CheapThrillB2]

i get it, i was looking at recent pics, not the ones from months ago lol

 

[holshotracer]

got three of them mounted on the rims and on the rig

Are you putting a bed on that thing? Seems like you wouldn't have any traction with nothing back there.

 

[ditchopper]

looks 10x better

it won't have much of a bed when i get one on there. it's going to be bobbed and dovetailed.
at the last run i didn't have much problms with traction. i was able to pull my buddy nicks ranger out of the trails and on to his trailer. and that was on snow

Thats cool. It just seems like it would be light as hell and just spin with no bed on it. Bobbed and dovetailed should look pretty good.

heres an old pic from after the body swap, loading up the old body for scrap

 

[holshotracer]

when wheelin today i had some carnage.
i took out both outer shafts and one hub.

So i decided it was time up up grade. so i got this

77' dana 44 out of a F150. i'm going to shorten the passager side so i can run EB shaft. i also got 4 15x10 steel rims also all for $150

Wow, sounds like you got a real good deal on that thing. Before you shorten it though I would seriously think about leaving it full width. The added stability it provides is well worth it, plus it's a lot less work. I considered doing a EB width D44 at first, but I'm very glad I kept the axles full width.

 

[holshotracer]

i haven't fully made up my mind about the full width cause i can get the matching 9" rear for $100 too. the only problem is that the D44 is 3.55 and my 8.8 is 3.73 so i would have to regear the front.
That and i've never had a problem with the 8.8
