Pooling Ideas here....
So after reading through nicks (quadzjr) build thread about 6 different times along with several build threads on pirate.
I have convinced my self to do a "big" build. Basically VERY similar to what nick has done, 4-links, rocks, coilovers, dual transfer cases. I want to keep the 351 for now, just for simplicity along with the zf5speed.
I like the idea, of Twinsticking the 1st trans (205) and having an engine driven winch... Would be sweet, i will have to look into making that work out.
Ive been doing some research on link suspension, but i dont know enough about it yet, so i might have to farm that work out... It being so touchy i really dont want to **** it up.
So any idea's you guys got, i am in a kind of planning stage now, kinda gettin all my thoughts into one place kinda thing, so i could be persuaded one way or another....
Let me know what you guys think, and or opinions...

Winch: being powered by the engine are you talking a hydo not electric, if so there are a number of options.
other ideas i would say put some rollers under the truck so you can winch back, not used a lot but is nice in a jam.
what type of wheeling are you going to do?

Its not electric and not hydro, kinda like a pto driven winch...
Mostly mud, but im sure it will find its way up a few hills and down a few trails, in which case i will drop down to a 44" tire...

Well rocks have a 6.72 gear i belive or something close to it...
I would run a doubler too i want to find away to bolt up a 205 to a zf 5speed, not sure if it was an option or not, Im not sure on what i want as the second transfer case, but i like the ability to twin stick the 205 so i can use the front out put for a pto driven winch...

The 95 its really to the point that i either sas it throw some gears at it and call it done, which would make it horrible on fuel economy, or just make it a big project and get a new dd ( which i want to do anyways ) then have a sweet rig!!!!!!!!
