I have one, with 4.56's and a locker! Just need to get the rear driveline figured out, but in the meantime I can still use 4x4. :D

I kind of need the rear ratio to match the front in order to use 4x4... and that's my main priority on weekends, the use of 4x4!

I have the rear gears setup and in the Expo 8.8, but I need to set my pinion angle and get the rear driveshaft figured.

Nope, the one I have is the baby u-joints. Different pattern on the flange.

Hey Andres, I may be a pavement pounder but you're the one that's repping FWD.

Am not, Mike! Was repping FWD last week for two days when I busted a u-joint on the rear shaft, but fixed that. I'm still rockin' the D28/7.5 combo 'til I can get my M5/D35/8.8 in all in one shot, 'cause I can't go one weekend without 4WD. lol

Disciplerocks, I'm going to be running a manual BW1354 with the 8.8, and I want to upgrade to full-size u-joints rather than the baby ones. Going to run a 1st gen Expo front shaft on the rear to get the double-cardan and bigger joints.

To Kris, that cupholder sees more Timmies cups than anything! Although, it fits a Monster can perfectly without spilling, a regular sized pop can won't come out less'n I'm upside down, and a Timmies cup all the way up to XL fit snug as a bug in a rug. :headbang:

So based on what you are saying if I put the 8.8 from my 92 to replace the 7.5 I'll have to change out the driveshaft too?
