damn I have not been on here in awhile. Well lets see, what have I done? Nothing.. Schools been expensive and I can't afford to take it off road in fear that I'll break something. All I've really done is wax it and put my subwoofer back in lol..

I did get some good pictures of it though

I haven't done nothing to it! Lol I did spray paint everything underneath a nice gloss black and repainted my steering so it does look a lot cleaner though

Got it in in about a hour and a half. It sure does click a lot but it's definitely engaging.

About 90% done with the bumper. Lol started this thing like 4 months ago just lost motivation. My plans changed from doing a tire carrier since I'm doing 1 tons soon

That's easily reached from underneath I just have to make sure to buy hitches with longer tubes since the pin hole is so far back

Yeah I like the flush look more plus I just use my shackles for safety chains on the rare occasion I tow lol.

44/14.. I know stupid but the only reason I'm doing it is because of the price of the 44. My buddy with that blazer I posted has a 44 front but wants a 60 so he'll be selling it to me for 600. Brand new brakes, calipers, ball joints, hubs, and seals. Also brand new Yukon 5.13 gears that are still in the box. Figured I'd run this setup for awhile until I can afford a king pin. No point in doing a 60 rear if I want bigger then 38s in a year or two

1.) You plan on converting the 44 to a 8 lug pattern? Blazer... Doesn't that mean passenger side drop?

2.) Kingpins are over priced. Look into 05+ Ford SD axles.... Or watch my build on here.

3.) Do the 14 bolt right if you get one. Shave the housing and gears. The housing is unreasonably big.
