Sounds bad ass. Post up pics of your progress and good luck!    

One of these years I'm going to build a hunting jeep, I really like the TJ body the best!  But I can not believe some of the options that they are coming out with for the JK. EX - bolt in Dana 60 and Hemi 6.1 Liter! That is crazy, just a simple drop in.

That what I don't like. I been thinking of what I want to run in my play truck because I want it full locked in high range at full throttle. But it to unlock when putting around the house so I don't tear anything up. Probably looking at the Detroit lockers.  8)

If I were building a jeep today, I dont know what I would run, air, electric or cable lockers?  ???

I had ARB airlockers on my suburban and loved them.  Perfect road manners when needed, but still awesome bite in the nasty stuff when engaged  :thumbs:

The only problem I have seen with air is the lines get snagged and plugged loose. Other than that they good.
