Like the title says, anybody know about, have info or tried a NP231 or similar, with either of the automatic transmissions offered in the mighty max/D50?

like 4D55 said, new suspension is a must, plus the OME you can get in heavy duty too! looks like you already have manual hubs, which are prone to go out. The gen1's are so capable offroad in stock form, you've got a good camping vehicle for sure. :sombrero:

Its slow going. Got my rear Dana60, for $125, got it pulled part and cleaned up. Got my H1 wheels ordered, right at $1300.:Wow1: Doing some searching to see if its cheaper to buy the NP231 and build it(thicker chain,SYE and 4:1 gears) or buy one thats already built. Not having much luck...

I'd offer him $800. Bad engine and trans!

2dr or 4dr. blown engine and non-working trans too! We definitely need pics!

Finally found what I was looking for! NO MORE EXPLANATION NEEDED! This is why im gonna throw away all the IFS ans SAS it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_WqrrrLUXY&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL I dont care what anyone says, IFS will not last 5 minutes on anything here or most of the other...

the wheelbase will be the same, original axle location. The front will be leaf springs, from here http://www.bjsoffroad.com/cartgenie/prodList.asp?scat=126. Whichever height Chris(builder) thinks it needs. as far as everything else goes, its whatever he thinks will work best. He makes most...

What dont you get? Just got done helping my buddy put D60's under his yota reg cab on 42's, no problem. ??? its already gonna be overkill as it is, i'll pass on the portals. I know that wasnt a serious suggestion!!! :ar15::Wow1:

I understand you're not trying to offend me, but this is the way I wanna build it. It IS being overbuilt, VERY OVERBUILT!!! Thats been the plan since the beginning. Did you not read any of the details on the 1st post? Again, no one (100+ people) around here that are regulars at uwharrie or mtn...

I dont know why thats funny. And I dont know what "scale" you're talking about. Nobody I know in the 4x4 community, ever talks of a "scale". Your friend from NJ/CT runs trails in southern NC all the time? I only know of mine and maybe 2 more locals in gen2's that go to uwharrie. With 5.38's...

Modification - I'll be running 40x13.50x17 Yokohama Geolander M/T on 17x10 alum wheels on the street. And... 38.5x14.40x16.5 Super Swamper TSL/SX tires still on the 16.5x9 H1 double beadlocks offroad

Im not a body-lift fan, thats why my SWB only had tbar/block on 33's. I know I dont "need" to SAS, its more a want thing! The D60's im using are full widths. I couldnt even imagine a Gen2 on 44's!:Wow1: I still have one of my older SWB's left, and have really been considering making a 4cyl/auto...

Thanks for that. As far as ignorance goes, I live in the south, if its not american or a toyota its crap, is the consensus around here! Should've seen the jaws drop the 1st time I took my 4cyl SWB on 31's and a welded rear up the same places the rest of the guys from the group were going(36"+...

Uwharrie and Mtn City. Im pretty sure Tellico is closed! I know how beefy the stock set-up is, not my 1st Montero. It all boils down to having the truck on solid axles for rock crawling and because it hasn't been done here, something extremely different! I've done all the research on our...

Sorry to hear that man. Im doing the 231 case w/ beefy chain and SYE kit.
