The Official Build Thread

I'll be pulling the diffs myself I hope and will have them both set up at the same time. i'll also probably replace both front CV's and may do a manual hub swap all at the same time... We shall see... And I'm fairly sure that I have 4.30's... But that's another argument to clutter up another thread... :)

4.88's and I'll run an open front for now... I don't really feel the need to throw one in right now... I have an E-Locker rear...

I'm slowly looking for SAS parts but shhhh.... It'll be a surprise! :hiding:

Seriously consider 5.29s instead. My 4.88s and 33s are perfect and I don't hit 3K rpms on the freeway until 80 mph w/ my auto. If I had 35s, I would absolutely 100% go with 5.29s since I know how 4.88s feel. It will be a real disappointment to spend all that $$ and still not have the torque/power you were hoping for.

You have a manual or auto?

arent they all a work in progress? haha i mean really have u ever seen someone build a rig and say im done and not do anything else to it besides put gas in it and tune it up? haha
 
Thanks for the comments bud. On the Rola rack : I bought the lights, bought new, longer hardware at HD, drilled thru the main bar, hit the bare metal with paint to prevent rust, found some sweet rubber grommets that fit in the holes to make it look semi-professional and help keep water out, and mounted the lights. I ran the wires together down the rack and into the rear hatch. From there I went to the dash and have them wired on 3 seperate circuits. 2 outer front, 2 inner front, and 2 rear. Hope that helps, lemme know if you have any more ?'s... I'll be glad to help out.
