search function is your friend. look around at what has worked with people. to start off do you have a D35 or C8.25 if you got a D35 i would dump it for a bolt in 8.25 or XJ D44. there is no point in putting any money into a D35. If you are going to crawl it first thing i would look at is lockers.

Look for a 97+ C/8.25 they are about 100-150 in JY lunch box the front and rear and you've got the beginnings of a 4x4 rig.
Have fun with it.

well thats the thing i did search and i havnt really found anyone doing my same app. they are either building a crawler or a runner. i want mine to be a runner BUT can also crawl if need be. but this rig has to be my DD. and the D35 is worse than the chrysler 8.25? i thought it was the other way around.
