Scooper,
These are from "Off Your Rocker", about $200 I think.

Thanks Moab. Its far from perfect though, an ongoing project like all jeeps are, but we are pleased with how it is for now and its a good start at least.. next will be to put disc brakes up front, getting mud in the drums sucks.. :(

Wow! Sure wish I had a jeep like that while visiting the garden island. Instead we had to live with a rented TJ. how do you keep your rig so clean with all the red dirt on the trails?

Moab, for now the front is still the old Dana27, and the rear is Dana44 with PowerTrax no slip. We don't have much in the way of rocks here, everything is holding up fine at the moment. I also have a gentle right foot :)
The engine is a 305 Chev, Edelbrock Performer heads, intake, carb and camshaft, high volume water pump etc
Has Ididit tilt steering, Autometer gauges, full roll cage, Warn HS9500i winch, 33" SSRs, 2 1/2 SkyJacker lift, Cross rear bumper/tire carrier, Herculiner tub, Painless wiring, home made hand throttle..Thats about it for now, if I could find a bigger front axle I would, and would probably do a couple of things differently if I did it again.

Alakai, thought you were from here when I first saw your name. Can't keep things clean from all that red dirt dust. Its worse that I live and work on the west side so get it constantly, not just on the trails. It just adds character to the Jeep.
