Stripping the Frame

With the body off and out of the way, I removed the front and rear end from the frame and inspected all the bits and pieces. My front end looks fine, the Dana 30 is good to go with some better gears however the rear Dana 35c is by all accounts a piece of crap. Apparently its the weakest rear end in any modern 4x4. So, after a bit of googling, I will be replacing this with a waggy Dana 44 or a Ford 8.8.
