not many people from roanoke, va on here, but i figured i'd at least throw it out.

does anyone have anybody that they'd reccomend for installing gears and locker(s)?

Andy can do them, i think around $250 per axle. kind of a long drive, but if nobody else closer can try him.

somthin to think about. I dont know how much money you plan on spending. But I've still got my project axles. I'll sell them if your interested. Waggy 44 and Isuzu 44 rear. 4 wheel disc. PM me if your interested. I've not done anything to them, so they'll both have tp be rebuilt. The rears got good brakes it think.

i appreciate the offer, but this is still my dd. plus living in an apt, i don't have a garage, the skills, or the tools to fab up axle mounts and such. but thanks!
