40" boggers. Longfield axles front and rear, a lunchbox locker up front, a spool in the rear. and a better tranny, and you'll be golden.
check out 3:30 in that video, the passenger side front tire turns ALOT and the driver side doesn't even turn at all.
that hole was DEEEEP...wow

so i bought a driveshaft from driveshaft super store!! really nice people i had to have the truck on the trailer in 12 days for TGW in florida. so i paid a little extra$$ to have them rush it. told them what i had and that i needed a high angle shaft. well everything was good untill last weekend it broke 10 seconds in the pit!!
here's my prob maybe 1hr of use in florida (truck drove fine friday but then something happened!NO VIDEO). back home i run it about 1 hour combined then load up to go to this mud bogg in ms get lined up in the pit stomp it and it breacks? so lets say 3 hours of use total!! they will (fix it) for free i just have to pay shipping there and back? is this fair, for only 3 hours of use will it be (fixed)????? post what u think!!!!!!!!!!

yes it is fun! well i got good news "i think". For the winter i was gonna rebuild the 6 cyl, until i found a cr ad for 2gs i can have a 86 runner with a 350 in it. so of course i jumped on that deal it was gonna be a grand just 4 the rebuild kit. so yes my plan is to drop the 350 in my 83, what yall think.
