yeah, i was wondering where to begin.

do your rear brakes work?
do you get tired when you drive this?
do you get death wobble or can you steer at all?
and how about those upper control arms?

seriously tho, what did you mean by your axle is out? i'm guessing just a shaft?

and i'm not sure about a locker, i can't see through the diff cover.

i'd start by replacing the passenger side shaft, maybe put in a new u-joint first, then replace those bent upper control arms and replace the bent center link in your steering.
hook up your rear brake lines and replace your tail pipe (15 bux). as for your down pipe, you can patch that up easy enough.

pull the diff covers, clean out the inside (inspect the locker) and fill with new gear oil. i'm sure the front diff is fine, just needs a new seal or two.

unless you want to replace the front axle, it's pretty easy to do.

What are you talking about? The control arms aren't bent and I need all new steering linkage.them bars are aftermarket.something rough country.I don't think a front end would be that much I really don't won't to tear into it when I can replace it cheaply.it has a rough country 4.5 lift with extended brake lines,adjustable track bars and add a leaf and 33
