Picked up a spare carrier for the 14b with a grizzly locker installed in it the other day. Found a real good deal on craigslist and couldn't pass it up.

Almost ready to hit the trail. Gotta finish up a few small things. Can't wait.

sweet looking build man. here's some things I ran into when I swapped and started wheeling, wish I had done these things before it ever left the garage:
broken frame side track bar bracket - needs heavy duty track bar brace
broken hi steer studs - needs double shear and ARP studs (and knuckle plating if you really want peace of mind)
additional steering box plating - a lot. I plated that whole inner area
a cage - I have cracks in my transmission tunnel from where it fatigued from all the twisting. sucks when you can't open your rear hatch
CV drivelines - blew the rear, no more CV's for me (also no street driving)
traction bar - bent 3 leaf springs so far
hope some of that helps. they're great once you work all the bugs out but my rig is trashed now

Got the ruffstuff 7/8 heim kit installed and full steering radius back. Had to move the draglink to the hole closer to the king pin so I could stay with a stock length pitman arm. Also got colthahauses hydro assist setup after it sitting in the garage for about a year. Made a nice double shear pitman arm too.

The ram is the only part I didn't use. I ended up getting an 8" ram cause the 6" was a little to short but now the 8" is too long so I'm gonna have to limit it. Just not gonna hold the wheel at full lock till I get around to it. Works awsome tho.
