oil strainer = pick up tube?

Lug nuts, tires, ends for TR and DL, misc nuts and bolts, you may need a pitman arm insert.

Check the parts lists on my webpage

.......how about the ARB compresor for your ARB locker,also why didnt you go with chromoly axle shafts,and beefier u-joints............youre going this far might as well do it right. Also dont forget tie rod and drag link ends....... also the Toyota to Dana 44 driveshaft flange,banjo bolts for the waggy calipers. You may want front diff protection such as Crane diff cover .........u-bolt flip kit for the front....hell for the rear as well .........lets not forget the master install kit ......ummmmm steering stabalizer.............................. man I can smell the money burning away chaaaa ching :D

[zszac111]

front spring hanger if not making your own, shackles if changing or not making your own, might also want to pick up the ratcheting spindle nuts since the stock ones seem to back off some. steel to plate the frame for steering box, something to sleeve the frame with. also good axle shafts (not moser) good u-joints, drive shaft u-joint or yota flange. x-case crossmember if your not going to mod yours, tires and wheels if you dont already have them. hell the list can go on and on and on :D just start cutting and when done cutting replace with needed parts :D

I don't find chromo shafts necessary. If you run 35" tires you should be fine as long as you take it easy. If you figure a set of chromo's will run you 600-2000 bucks, depending on how often you hammer down and break shit, you can buy a lot more spare shafts to equal how much you spent on chromos. I have yet to break an axle (only twisted splines from hammering down on the Con with 36" Swampers and an open front diff) so in my case, I probably would have wasted that 600-2000 bucks on something I didn't need. I guess the only good thing about chromos is the reassurance that you won't break an axle. So you better hope you break a hub instead of your ring and pinion :D

where is a good place to get chromoly axle shafts? and what u-joints would i be better off getting?

[anthony]

thank you guys for your help...also i am planning on going with 37" Wrangler tires. would 4.88 be fine for those or should i go up to 5.29 gears?

superior is by far the best shaft out there, however their price tag shows it, Moser shafts suck and i suggest not buying them, yukons are also good and i am running yukon stub shafts and havent had a problem with the splines twisting as bad as i did with the mosers which eventually failed. Warns shafts are suposively heat treated to much which makes them brittle, however i dont have any experience with them so i cant really say. as far as u-joints there is quite a few options now, CTM's (most pricy) around 380.00 a set, OX, Longfield has spicer 760 joints that have been treated and replace the needle bearings with a bushing like CTM ( i know a lot of people who use these and have had great luck) the spicer joints are good and are probably fine with 35" tires, however i would make sure i could run full circle clips so the caps wont go shooting out. id suggest just going yukon with longfield joints. maybe 350-380 for the shafts and 150?? for the joints, if im not mistaken he has quit making them, or their not on the website anymore. dont design a weak link IMO. I have one big weak link in my truck and its the D44 front axle :rolleyes:

My 4.88's with 37" mt/r's brought me very close to my stock 4.10's with 31's.

I ordered my u-joints and chromos from PartsMike.......he was very helpfull on helping pick the right stuff for my truck......give him a call! As far as u-joints I have heard CTM is the best way to go.........I went with OX u-joints....they are a pia to install and I have yet to see them perform because I havent sas'd my truck yet..........I will know soon!

..........that would be hardcore to fawk up the ring and pinion......youd think the hub would go first! I do have lots of spare stuff.......spindles......hubs.......even the stock waggy axleshafts......but no ring and pinion......ohhh well it happens then I get to hobble home in 2wd :D

[Brain]

Ha forgot about the hubs. I've broken MANY of those :D

hubs suck, drive flanges kick ass. lol. i hate for small stupid shit to break, even though its a quick fix, i know my reasoning is weird but if something breaks i want it to be major, so chromo's/ctm/and drive flanges for me, my ring and pinion is also cryo'ed. i dont beleive in building a weak link, however nothing is unbreakable and shit happens. :D

if you are going to take it easy I don't see the point of sasing either, so you just wasted over 5k there. good chromos I paid $750 for the whole thing with u-joints.
if you wheel and you don't need a front locker I don't think you are doing the right kind of wheeling. besides MO I think a front locker is more important than the rear, my rear arb leaks all the time and it doesn't affect me as much as if i wouldn't have a front locker.
just my opinion not trying to start anything, just a friendly comment.
people is just too sensitive now days.

I understand your reasoning, but California wheeling isn't exactly the hammer-down-5k rpm on wet rocks kind of wheeling. It's not that I didn't need a front locker, it's just at the time I didn't have money for a front locker. After doing the Rubicon with an open front diff, shredding the spider gears and hammering down with no crawler, I found that going slow is probably better for the type of wheeling I do. I understand what you are saying about having a front locker, makes a world of a difference! I agree, friendly comments :D

How come you didnt go to on the Rubi trip Brian? I wish I could have made it but ohh well next year

Since I'm going to be leaving Safeway soon, I need to pay off as much of my truck as I can because when I do leave, Safeway is giving me a large sum of money that I'm going to use to pay off the rest of it. So the more I pay off now, the more I'll have after they give me the lump sum :D With my birthday money, I just put that towards paying it off. Figured it would be best if I did that then spend all my b-day money on the Rubicon :D

Well my last day at Safeway will be beginning of November. I want to pay off a lot of my truck, then once they pay me, I can enjoy the holidays for once with the extra cash. I'll worry about it then, once my truck is paid off, I have really nothing else to pay for except cell phone and insurance :cool:
