I've started! Finally!!

Here's the plan,
Front:EB D44, Cage progressive-rate 5.5" springs, DOM steering and tracbar/1ton GM TRE's from Ballistic Fab, Dana Powr-Lok and 5.13s up front, Disc brake swap, Chro-Mo axles/720 u-joints.

Rear:Exploder 8.8, detroit Locker, 5.13s

Due to snapping my D35TTB in starting this project earier than I hoped.

Long story, tried to cross a creek in a swamp. Snapped a LF axle/u-joint, LF hub, as well as the axle beam all at the same time. Stupid move on my part. I have a video, I'll see if I can get it uploaded. Lesson learned, Momentum doesn't make up for a lack of tire size...
:black_eye:
