-offroad design DOM engine cradle and mounts
-700r trans with shift kit, billet input and output shafts.
-dual cases, 203 to a 205 with hardened oversized input/output shafts. Allows 4:1 low range
-triple sticked, so front and rear are independently selectable for low or high range
-oversize DOM chromoly drive shafts by High Angle Driveline and spicer ujoints
-Military spec (3/8" thick axle tubes)Dana 60 front with Detroit locker and 4:56 gears
-14 bolt full float rear axle. Military spec as well. With Detroit locker and matching gears
-Off Road Designs high steer kit with heavy duty 2wheel drive steering box.

IMG_1694.JPGDidn't like my spare tire on the bumper blocking the little bit of non blind spot I had. I decided to move it inside and secure it. I'm building a platform over it and adding a some small compartments to store other gear as well.

IMG_1703.JPG IMG_1705.JPG I removed the rear seat to make a level spot for gear and the dogs. I can still install the seat if I need to. Have to carpet the wood pieces still.
