BTW, 4x4 long travel.

There we go, blazeland. That was #2 on my post, couldn't remember the company name.

Seems OK, but not sure if I want a uniball setup instead. More questions about that coming shortly so I don't derail my thread.

Camberg used to, but only does newer Toys now.
Duffco is 2wd only
Downey is defunct.
Anyone heard of bilt-right (sp?)?
Any other options?

you best bet would be to look on desertrangers, race-dezert or CL for a used kit. they pop up on there about once a month.

Guess I was looking at the TC Caddy 3 kit's $$ instead of the Caddy or Caddy Uniball.

For now I'm guess I'm collecting what's out there and then will comparo-shop. I don't mind paying more if I'm getting more.

My goal is to build something that'll take getting treated like a quad offroad over and over and over without much maintenance, and still have very good street manners.

I loved my 2000 Cherokee - it would outrun stock sport quads offroad (the airbumps helped a lot sometimes!), but didn't need much maintenance and had great street manners.
