    The Dana 44 should have been in place of the Dana 30/35. They are ok under jeeps but I agree that Rey should have never made the 44, ESP under a full size.

    Any axle can be bulletproof if you wheel properly and with small enough tires. :D

    Not really, they are slightly worn but nothing worth replacing after 2+ years. But I don't DD it

    14bolt? $150 in my area of the woods. Add that shave kit in and you're talking under $400... Not very expensive :D

    Does the sump face towards the front of the truck? Then yes. I do believe it does though

    I think I'd pass just to avoid the scrub radius with something like that...at least its kingpin and not bj...that thing would eat ball joint daily.

    Meh, dually wheels FTW, bro! :D jk But seriously, don't you think it'd be doable with wide, high off-set wheels? Wouldn't be able to get rid of scrub completely, but good enough for a streetable rig?
    Crazy awesome, you mean! :D and expensive......... lol :eek:

    I think the wheels would be very close to sicking out further than the edge of the tire :laugh: The scrub would not just suck on the street, but offroad too if you ever have to turn the wheels at a dead stop in the rocks. You'd eat ball joints like no other if you're not careful.

    Didn't think of that. You probably cold get pretty close to a stock scrub radius, but your lockout and hub will be way out there taking a beating then.

    Cool idea but I will leave the portals to volvo, lol :D

    lol yeah... :eek: Almost every crawler I've seen has some scrub radius though. I think it'd be possible to get it down to a reasonable amount with those axles......... :notsure: I'd run 'em..
