hi guys thanks for the replys.
I have done a bit more research and I think this will have to be a longer term project. I didn't really want to have to build new diffs again as iv pretty much just done the diffs I have now.
I think I will start some of the body mods, guard chops, cage, ect and get some 35s to run for now, and when I get some more money I can get the diffs then fab them in and then put on the bigger tyres. that way I shouldn't have the car off the road for to long at a time and I can pick away at my list slowly.
I will start to keep an eye out for suitable diffs to swap in that can handle 37s.
the first thing I wanted to do was get some unibody stiffeners and a long arm upgrade kit. I had my eye on the TnT long arm and stiffeners but they are fairly expensive, can any1 recommend any kits that work well. I like the TnT long arms as they mount so high up in the chassis rails.

If you want the T&T, talk to Wooders I'm fairly sure he has both the stiffners & Long Arms in stock.

old thread, I had intended to keep this updated with the progress, but im terrible at documenting my progress.
I have done most of my initial wish list, except the cage, that really need to be done next.
im still running the dana 30 as stated above and the ford 8.8, has been holding up fine. ill try upload some pics, but here is a video of me and my brother racing in a mud comp.


good times
