    Thats 8.8 is quite a bit beefier than even the 8.25, the whole thing, not just the ring gear size. Housing, tubes etc, and there is a pretty large aftermarket supply for that axle. Hard to go wrong with that swap. I will likely start building one myself to replace my 8.25. I needed to go up to...

    Finally got a chance to wrap this thing up... Cleaned everything, and snapped a few pics. Hope to get the lights remounted tonight.

    Shoot, I dont even remember, and any numbers that were on it are long gone. That stuff came over from my old Toyota, so it has to be close to 6 years old. It was an ebay special, and have had zero issues with it. Same for the monitor, I think I have $150 bucks in the whole set-up? ~ Stump

    I hear ya man, its a cool set-up for sure. What software are you getting? Delorme seems to work best for downloadable, but its not cheap. The maps are very nice though.

Tablet? There is a laptop in the main portion of the photo... the blue...

    Pretty much thats it. I use my phone as a hotspot for internet based maps, and use the downloadable maps for when I dont have cell service. There are tons of things you can do with it though! ~ Stump

    You mean the receiver? Its a Global Sat BU353. Works great, I use it with my laptop, and various bits of mapping software, Delorme, NatGeo, Google Earth, TopoFusion, etc.

    A red top Optima, like I have in the front now. I used to have a deep cycle, but I decided to run both red tops. The rear battery runs my rear winch, inverter, 2 12 volt plugs, and MV-50 compressor for if the CO2 runs out...

    Got the back end of this thing done... Found some decent carpet at the local Pull-A-Part, cleaned up pretty good for a 19 year old piece of carpet! Also redid my old battery area, and gained a LOT more space. This is what it used to look like: This is what I did to it today. Just made...

    That dog is creepy, and annoying. It just starts talking for no reason... it has scared the crap out of my many times! The ammo can was kind of a pain, I basically just painted the outside. I did it basically like you said, hung it up, and then flipped it over after it dried and did the other...

    Now...some of you may remember me building this CO2 mount a while back? I decided to just modify it instead of building something new. Just had to cut the back off of it, and notch it to make it fit around the tubing. This is how it used to look/mount. Thats it for now. More to come...

    And now finally what you have clicked on this link to see, some progress on the Teal **********. Got some more tube done on the outside. Got the majority of the B-pillar tacked in. Car seat still fits in a rearward or forward facing direction! I figured I would work my way around...
