So you want a 400hp rodeo on 37s with a d44. Are you worried about axle shafts at all?

Will make note of that about ARBs @theesotericone
Y'all don't head into much mud there do ya? If I blow an airline out, and I'm in the shit, I won't get to the front diff. I'm that guy who actually needs the snorkel.
@Thesandaddict
The rear is going to be a 14b. I came to that conclusion when I saw the power the chosen donor engine would make. I don't have a choice. Wanted matching 44s but I don't think she'll hack er.
Either a 14b or a Sterling 10.25 from a SD. I'll have to get hubs for 6 bolt wheels and narrow it. Narrowed the front, not scared to narrow the rear with some research.
The real idea here, is to get a 04+ Chevrolet 2500 donor truck. 6.0L gas engine, 4l80, 14b full float rear on trucks with more than 10,000lb GVW. By the time it gets headers, a tune, and the intake it'd need, it'll be around 380, up from theb340 it made to begin life.
Take the engine, trans, and rear diff, and transplant them. Tune to suit. Buddy has a few 205s lying around. Mate to 205.
I was originally looking for an Isuzu diesel, but I simply cannot find one for an effective cost. A recent write-off chev donor with 120,000 miles is worth 800 bucks through the insurance auction.
We have a chunk of change set aside for it, just don't want to jump prematurely.

Your hypocrisy is showing.
Yeah up in Canada we don't have dust, ever.
And no one needs a snorkel for water, you're right. Running in water up to the headlights is totally fine.
I'll go tell my buddies to take the snorkels off their quads cause Danny from California told me you don't need them.
The point of the post was to say that if I'm in 18" of mud, I won't get to the diff to fix the air line. However, I can fuck up wiring just as bad, so it's moot.
The only pictures I ever see of y'all is on rocks.
Ummm bunch of us down here have snorkels.
Here’s the last three posts of mine that have the word snorkelLast I saw you posting about one, you were making fun of overlanders for having them.
Regardless, doesn't matter, I'll need one..
This could be an overlander patch “1% snorkel user”
Backwards like the snorkel
The first one is from November. Is that what you’re referring to?Usually extreme dust situations or snow, just giving those guys shit
Tell me how it’s possible for you to live without a spineSure. We'll go with that, since your femininity means you have to make sure about it.
Just for you guys, maybe I'll not put one on since it clearly bothers you all so much.
Or I'll make one out of air seeder hose like my last one. Maybe that.
I sorta agree on lunchbox lockers. They are great for the ease and cost, but they are not that great when if comes to long term reliability. They eventually fail under abuse.See later post, I blame the shitty axle that it was to begin with.
I haven't posted much about what I'm looking for with this Rodeo, or what I'm collecting to put into it, but I'm after about 380hp and 37s. That's the goal. Engine/driveline swap and bigass tires.
I don't trust a locker that fits where the spider gears fit to hack that. That leaves me with a spool or a carrier replacement.
And all of you guys are gay for it too.Ummm bunch of us down here have snorkels.
Not my fault you have big black phallus envyI sorta agree on lunchbox lockers. They are great for the ease and cost, but they are not that great when if comes to long term reliability. They eventually fail under abuse.
If you want to save money, just weld the spider gears. Stronger than a mini-spool and free. If you hate it, then swap out there carrier for a quality locker.
And all of you guys are gay for it too.
