Okay, so before I go searching all over the US I figured I'd ask here first. I have been talking with Georg down at Valley Hybrids and am planning to take my transmission, transfer case, and axle assemblies to him for rebuild and upgrade. He suggested a few things to me and I am now trying to figure out how to proceed.
He suggested I swap out my knuckles for 81-85 mini truck or 88-90 FJ62 knuckles and disc brake outters in order to fit beefier steering components to go with my saginaw power steering and move my 35" BFGs. He also said that the brake setup is better and parts are easier to come by.
Does anyone have some they're willing to sell or know of someone relatively close who might have them?
I am also trying to decide whether to go stick with my semi-float in the back, try to find a stock full float or go with the Front Range Offroad conversion kit with the RCV shafts. Georg suggested I avoid the Front Range kit because it is proprietary and parts only come from one source. I was hoping to have him install the Harrop lockers front and rear but I can only do that with a full float. Thoughts? Suggestions?
