    If you're going to do all that you might as well do a SAS unless you love ifs that much.

    Maddawg- yes, solid axle swap. No one here will laugh at asking questions like that. SAS is a pretty advanced term, especially if your not into rock crawling much. Welll, i take that back, we will probably laugh a little, but its all in good fun, we all treat each other like brothers and sisters here, so we like to bicker and make fun

    Billy- last i heard he completed it, but now im curious. And i also assume to just swap the diff would be a lot cheaper. You'd have quite a task convincing me that it cost $5-8 k just for a diff and some brackets?

    I'm pretty sure Eftren had the 10 bolt front in Moab. I was poking around a bit on his VX looking at the SFIFS.

    I forgot about that topic... what was the point? stronger half shafts?

    The purpose was availability of parts, gears, lockers, and stronger half shafts. Cheaper too i imagine.
