The 35's will be nice. Youv'e got a killer project going there. On a sidenote I did install a dishwasher. Maybe that will count as doing the dishes.

When I just logged on, saw your new gallery. Looks good. The only thing is that I would go bigger than 35s. That much work, might as well go bigger. I already wish I had It is nice to see some of the crew too. Unfortunately, I am alone working on my truck. My wife kind of views it as a waste of time. If I were you, I would be running to get a bronco. If nothing else, gives you something else to tinker with.

Just slap in a drop in locker. I bought a Ls for a truck one time, and can't believe now that I didn't just go for a locker. They aren't bad, and much more bang for the buck than a LS.

it depends on what kind. i am putting a power lock in my rear 60 but only because i got it with another axle for $50. the clutches were just over $100 and let me tell you them things are so tight new that i think this this is going to act more like a locker than a LS, i can't wait to try it. but i would deffinitly get a locker if you have the extra to spare.

Puttin a Solid Axle in the place of something different. In his case he is replacing the TTB (independant type suspension) with an axle out of a '78 F250, so he will be putting leaf springs up front.

I'm over here in Centerville. Not too far away. Did you guys get the inch+ of ice we got? Man...I busted my tailbone yesterday, and again today - it hurts just sitting here. Went to hop in my truck and stepped onto the running boards...slid on the ice on the board, and did the classic "up in the air...down on the ___." Ow....

What gears you opting for? I'm going 4.56 with my 35's. Rob gives me trouble cause I'm almost as steep as his. But that should be about right for me when I'm on the drive. You got msn?
