    3 link as in 2 radius arms and panhard, is what I meant. Anyways, my truck goes up on the hoist to gut everything next Tuesday/Wednesday. Quite excited.

    Yessir. The Superwinch is mounted on a reciever hitch cradle, it has dual purposes. My dad and I co-own a 94 yota pickup, which we use as our hunting truck most of the time. So it'll be on that truck when it's not on mine. Plus I got it for $350 brand new. Soooooo yeh ^_^

    But being up here has made me miss spending cash on my truck(not really, but I'm making enough to justify it better :p ) so I bought a couple goodies on the great interwebz today.

    There is no budget at this point. After everything is done, I will be getting the truck body Line-x'd in red, the front and rear bumpers in black as well as the frame, sliders, and radius arms in black, cause why not. plus the powder coating was damaged in shipment anyways on the radius arms. I will have ~$45-$50K into this truck, and it will never leave my ownership.

    I've also been thinking, I'm balls deep anyways, prolly gonna end up getting an ARB for the rear. Cause again, why not right?

    EDIT: Just purchased the 9.5" Full Floater ARB :) Cant think of anything else I can actually buy for function on this build...

    So guess who has everything needed to build 80 series diffs, but turns out to have 70 series diffs... Time to get my $1500 back, and buy some diamond housings. Bitches love diamonds.

    Waiting on the email for price, but I will be ordering a centered 9.5" ff rear with chromoly shafts, whole axle wms to wms minus the carrier with disc brakes. Front will be a stock width pass drop 8" hp 80 series. .375 for the tubes, disc brakes. Throw a couple diamonds under my truck, bitches love diamonds!. And I've found a local guy that my buddy introduced me to who will be doing my swap.
