That's exactly what I'm going to do. Need a 4x6 C6 yet for the tailshaft and tailhousing. The one I have lined up is behind a 6.9 so it has the deep clutch drums and that good stuff in it. Going to build it myself, I've only done a couple TH400's(both full manual) but I think I can handle a C6.
The doubler, well, I can build it pretty much for free and the diffs have sub 2k mile old Dana/Ford gears in them, so I can't really justify re-gearing when I can do a doubler for pretty just my time.

Finally, video proof that it runs, drives, and doesn't spit out 460 internals every time I run it... LOL
YouTube - TJ gets a little help from the F350
YouTube - Makin it look Easy

We were out for a shakedown run with my buddy Dwayne who has a 98 XJ on 37 boggers( geared locked both ends etc.) Not much interesting video from the ride, but I did have to pull out the TJ on 35's that came out with us.

Nah, I pretty much just idled through it... LOL The entire day of trail riding I only put my foot into it twice, once pulling out the Heep, and once in another hole that I was through before anyone got a camera out. LOL

Look, jeep recovery again... LOL

We went out saturday with a group we dont normally wheel with, biggest thing out there besides the 2 trucks and jeep from our group was a hackjob of an 84 yota on 38" monster mudders... LOL Way too much drinking and not enough wheeling. Only one good hole all day, way too much drunk and stupid.

This is the only other decent video from the day so far:
******** width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ufVVH4LIFkg?hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ufVVH4LIFkg?hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed>*********>

My buddy's 98 XJ, 8" lift, cutouts, e-locker in the front, welded rear, 37 boggers, gears around the 5 mark, a very impressive truck for a pretty simple build, and thanks to another friend of us who completley re-engineered the steering, it drives like a stocker on the road.

It's almost a tire size rule around here, seems most guys with 35's and under are out to get drunk and beat their trucks to death, and will play in one puddle all day, those with bigger seem to be more dedicated, and far more into trail riding and not just fooling around.
When our group goes out on the trail, the smallest thing is usually that Cherokee, and there's a few guys that will have a drink or two on the trail, and thats about it.

Another ride down... Very glad I was in the shop until Midnight on Friday putting the winch on... LOL Ended up just being me and a couple Toyotas





Looks like he's going to make it:


BUT, 22re's do not run well with a wet distributor... LOL


Beware the fearsome power of the 20R:


And video to go with:
YouTube - &#x202a;Oops... Thats a little Deep&#x202c;&rlm;

YouTube - &#x202a;winchin&#x202c;&rlm;
Note to self... Buy an e-fan controller, or don't forget to turn them back on... LOL

Silicone is your friend... LOL
YouTube - &#x202a;Hmm... Toyotas Don't run with wet Distributors&#x202c;&rlm;

YouTube - &#x202a;pullingoutjesse&#x202c;&rlm;

And:
YouTube - &#x202a;Fear the Awesome power of the 20R!&#x202c;&rlm;

Those squirrels may not be big, but they are well fed... LOL


I managed to make the day without much breakage, I only had the fuel pump require me to give the tank a good boot once and I tore off the front shocks... It seems the 11" travel shocks I have on there are too short, even with only about 4" of piston exposed at ride height. I had to move the brackets up about 4" from stock location to get the shocks in there. Both brackets were pulled down considerably, and the upper eye ended up torn off the drivers side shock... I guess I need to flex the thing out and measure... Oops
