Side note, heading home with my new rear axle. Dana 44 w/ Detroit Truetrac and 4.56 gears. Cool guy and threw in a small parts kit for the rear drums and some spare shafts.

(If you are on the forum Don, thanks again!)

Mine wasn't free, but the offset price for not having to gear and already having the limited slip, plus the spare shafts, definitely can't complain either!

This flares turned out nice on your rig man. Good choice!

Not to bad!

I had a like on a d30 w/ 4.56s a detroit and chromos once for 300 but it was for a yj

Thanx! I never liked the bush wackers. Theyre too bulky and round. I mif by have done flat flares but I was already trimmed. The Napier flares just match the body a lot better and a 're cheeper

Hey man if you dont mind me asking, how much did you pick that setup right there for? it looks bad *** and once you get it on itll look even sweeter. and when you change gears in the rear dont you need to change the gears in the front axle as well?

Pm'd...
And yes, you do need to regear the front axle. I am getting that done on the 28th. It is safe to drive so long as you DO NOT put it in 4wd. A lot of guys will pull the front driveshaft as insurance.. But it's safe to drive as long as there is no power to the tcase (then gears are your last worry)
