A guy came by and checked out my bike, and told me he wants to buy it and will paypal me money tonight and pick it up Friday. Sooo I'm pretty sure I'll have $2100 in my pocket by the end of the weekend for my axle build in addition to my paycheck.
I wanted to get some last opinions before I go buying anything, I've already spoken to many of you, but now it's public. So please critique my plan (nicely).
The current plan...
For the front:
-Keep my stock ABS HP D30 (with 297 joints)
-Gear 4.56 with yukon gears
-Replace all bearings and upgrade seals (what bearings and seals should I get?)
-Put in a selectable locker, either E-locker or ARB (help...)
For the rear:
-Buy a disc brake 8.8 (know anyone with one?)
-Gear 4.56 with yukon gears
-Weld perches and raised shock mounts (ruffstuff kit maybe?)
-Purchase an aftermarket Diff. cover like Warn, Riddler, or Solid
-Weld axle tubes (?)
-MAYBE a locker...can I add in a locker later without having to adjust everything, or should I get one when I have it geared, or just run it open for now?
I KNOW I want a selectable up front, don't know about the rear, and I know I want 4.56 gears. I plan to run 33's around summer time, and do NOT want an 8.25 (I don't see the point, when it's only a little more for a stronger axle with disc).
