Trail Rig or Street Rig, choose now.
Dana 60's ROCK!!!
Leaves are easy, cheap & sturdy
Chevy parts are cheaper (14 bolt & easy to lock)
Tall Rigs tumble
Rubber makes great fenders, cut the metal out to make room
No project is as easy at the end as it seemed at the beginning
Quality time/money spent on project = Quality product (DONT RUSH)
Steering and brakes are MORE important than power and traction
Build it as big/solid as you can afford now and it will cost you less later
Put a cage in it and hope you never use it! (see avitar)
Use common parts, easier to find and fund!
Buy your shocks after everything else to get proper lengths
A specialized vehicle isn't good at everything but an all around performer isn't that special...
