Thanks and NOPE! I'm going to either replace my front yoke on the tcase or get another cv. I've been doing some reading and I think I can get one off of a 84 ranger that will work. I'm not a very good machanic so its all a learning thing for me.

On another note though, someone gave me a limited slip front carrier. I'm gonna run that until I get a locker. I already have limited slip in the rear.
I might just weld the rear but its all better then stock right?

Did you add any crossmembers for your sliders, or are you worried at all that they will twist your frame when you land on them?

the sliders will twists or break before the frame does. I plan on tying them into the cage when I get that built. I have a boat side design in my head that will tie into the belly pan I have planed out as well. all in time.

Gotcha. I ask not to criticize, but because I need to make some sliders pretty soon and was just worried about it. What thickness are you planning on for your belly pan?

You'll be fine. Your frame is solid.
I'm going to do a tube design and some aluminum plate. I don't know what thicknes yet. 3/16" on the boat sides. If I was just going to do something simple which I might do. I would just use 3/16".
