well i know if you start collecting know in a year you should have everything but hell it aint gotta be four wheel drive right away. i'd say get the axle in there and work all the little problems out of it come back in a couple weeks and do the trans and transfercase and hell drive shafts aint no big deal i got a drive line guy right down the street does all my big truck and pick up stuff he'll have them done in a couple hours.

kinda off topic, but i dont see why people sprnd the money on an RCD, other than being almost a direct bolt on, than doing a SAS. You can probably make out cheaper doing one.

I know exactly why...

It takes ***** to hack into a DD truck that you make payments on. I mean, if you owe 14k on a truck, and your welding on it...wow, you got *****!!!

I'm waiting until mine is paid off, thats so I can get another truck to drive as a DD, b/c after the swap it's not going to be able to commute like I need it to. And it damn sure won't be as reliable.
