So far this all i have done.

The gears and axle swap are on hold because i really want it to have ARB's so i'm trying not to have work in duplicate.

Next week test drive! :JEEPIN:

I have no idea what I’m going to do for gears.

I’ll probably not run anything bigger than 31’s. so maybe 4:10’s.

Use this chart to choose.

4,11 is the ideal, i think. :wink:

I know. But its worth it. And in the US you have a lot of options.

I spent around €500 in ring and pinions, both Dana 30 and Ford8.8 and im sure this will do the diference. I still need the ARB's to assemble it all but in the end... heheheh :dizzy:

Yeah, you can’t go wrong with ARB air lockers……… Hands down, the best you can buy. :pepper:

If you’re gonna do it, you might as well do it right. :2cents:

Very nice pics……………

You should create a signature so we can see all the goodies. :wink:

I’d like to know what lift you’re running, tire size, gears, etc. :JEEPIN:
