Welcome Chris.
Let me be the first to say.

Your post is worthless without pics.

JK it sounds like you have a nice truck I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I know, I know, you got me. I am trying to get a few on the computer today. I didn't think I could post pics until I posted more on the forum like some I have been on. No worries, they are on the way.

Thanks Chicago, might need to take you up on that. Just got a set of 32x11.50 BFG A/T's put on yesterday and a sweet bucket seat set up in the back I scored from an old Jeeper in your neck of the woods. Pics are coming as soon as the

puts them on the computer.

By the way, any of you Reno guys going to W.E. ROCK weekend after next?

Hi Chris, Welcome and many happy returns.

I would steer you away from the lock right in front. I don't know what if any experience you have with those, but they can make it tougher than nuts to steer - even with a saginaw PS. And turning on top of Sand Mountain will be a concern. Even the No-Slip locker is better, but if you can't go with a selectable, maybe think about something like an Auburn LSD.

The Aussie in the rear is good, but you could put that up front and live with a lock right in the rear until you can afford to upgrade. It's much easier to deal with the rear pumpkin since you don't have to mess with the front drive shaft and worm gear.

That is an understatement, we have everything from world famous rockcrawling to mulit-day desert exploration, I'm not sure you can do them all, but we are trying.
