Ok, let me put this little input in. I posted earlier and simple starting list. Simple, no detail. Then after thinking about it a little later............WTF ARE YOU PLANNING ON DOING WITH THIS TRUCK???????? SINK IT IN THE BIGGEST DAM POND YOU COME ACROSS?

But anyway you'll have to beef a lot up on this truck. Driveshafts, u-joints, Ball joints, Tie-rods, axles, transmission, brakes..ETC.

Oh and gearing, you can run your stock motor........With the right gearing it'll be plenty of power to push you through. Just remember the front and rear diff.s have to be the same ratio.

Hey quad YOU need to chill out and lose the attitude. Just because you might be more educated on the subject doesn't mean you need to belittle people. He doesn't NEED to do anything that you say. I guarantee I know more about repairing computers and electronics than you but that doesn't mean that you NEED to figure out how to do it better. Get a grip.
