then I guess it's a good thing I'm not gonna run dana's.

rocks are probaly gonna be just as bad though.

 

just ask Nick.

lockers, rebuild kit, 4 wheel disks and etc add up fast.

 

yeah, he was saying that if you diy disks are about 600 per axle. so thats about 1500 plus rebuild, locker, and gears.

 

lockers are 500 a piece......brakes depending on your abilities(lets just assume not enough) is about 1500-1700 for a kit, rebuild kits for everything except bearings are about 150, then you have to figure out steering.....prob. full hydro if your going rocks, all the fab/metal for you suspension brackets.....it adds up fast...



not including my brackets i have about 2300, but i have a open front welded rear and got hella deals on chit.....and lots o' knowledge helps alot tooooo

 

i hope you have a machine shop, b/c you have to turn down the hubs and machine out the rotors then fab up brackets....

 

So what'd you mean by this * Quote* Quadzjr:<TABLE width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>if you do it yourself you can do all four corners for about 600......but you can run pinion brakes, or have disc front and pinion rear....thats what most do....
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

 

yeah......thats just parts.....meaning machine and fab brackets yourself....

 

the machine work would have to be farmed out, but brackets that just time, patience and some steel.

but what about steering hydro is not DOT legal, so how would that work?

 

i suggest if your worried about being DOT legal........just go with the beef d60...........im going to run hydro assist with upgraded pump and 1.75x9" ram

 

will built d60's handle the 6 - 800ft lbs of torque this thing is gonna make?

and I want drop out center sections, so I guess were back to the 9" and hybrid axles or what ever I can find from a donor truck.

 

the front will but the rear wont. Build a sterling or d70.

 

sorry Kris I know your "Mr Dana", but I got to have drop outs so it looks like it's the 9'' for me.

Unless I can find a small 4x4 medium duty truck cheep.

 

why do you have to have dropouts?

 

mainly its personal preference, but gear changes are a lot simpler as well. Pop the axle and r&r the differential.

 

I can see that, but how often is a gear change done?

Not often enough to justify buying weaker stuff for me..
