Well now that I can post in various forums, I'll update my status.... I won 2 ebay auctions, one for 2 front heavy duty halfshafts, and another auction for one heavy duty rear halfshaft. Whenever they get here, I will install the rear and have a few spares. The best part is it will only take 15-20 minutes to swap out and won't require fishing broken pieces out.
Mods so far are detroit rear locker, 2 inch body lift and 42 IROKS. In the spring or summer I hope to put in a front electric locker and maybe an onboard air system for running air tools on the trail. I already have the CTIS compressor and have a small tank, but I need to mount the tank and plumb it. I also want to regear the TH-400 with a 2.75 first to gain back some of the lost gearing by going to 42's, I love the overdrive effect of 42's though.. cuts way down on the noise at 60. Longer term plans include custom suspension so that it will actually be able to flex, and a diet plan, one guy on the Hummer mailing list stripped his Hummer until it weighed 5800 pounds, so it can be done..And while I'm really dreaming... rear steer someday
Here are a few pics of a Hummer flexing..... I know... it's amazing!!!
