I came across a great deal today, from Matt, the guy I bought the D35 from "wakingtowinter"... He has a Detroit locker that he doesn't want, so I'm going to remove it, replace it with my open carrier, then help him put the new D35 that he bought in his rig. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.
So at this point, all I'm waiting on is, gears (front and back) and the lift. At that point, it will be trail worthy. Of course, I have WAY more work ahead of me after that, like: a tube bed, and bumpers have to be fabbed, a winch is a must, E fan to come, snorkle, CB, tool box, rock sliders, lights..... The list goes on.
I have to say... This build has become an addiction. I can't stop thinking about it, reading build threads for ideas, and spending money. Ha ha. Thanks Ford
