Thanks, I wish i had the tools i have at my shop because i would make some really cool bumpers for everyone!
For TRE's for that thing I'd go with common 1-tons. Easy to find and replace for low cost. They are sturdy as hell. I ran 1-ton TRE's on my crawler for about 10+ years of brutal abuse before I changed them. Depending on your setup, you may like HEIMS, but they are expensive for good ones with inserts so you don't rattle down the highway. And you can't exactly get those at an automotive store.
Definitely take pictures as you go, I'd like to see your setup when done. I'd also like to see your planned ARB compressor location.
EDIT: Are you running the stock shafts and U-joints? What size tires?
I'm sticking with TRE's, no heims of any sort on this truck because steering/suspension slop and or rattles drive me crazy. I found some solutions for tie rod roll from Ruff Stuff so that makes the 1 tons more doable.
Stock spicer shafts and unis for now, long term is upgrading to RCV's. I only have 35's now but I'll go to 37's with the RCV's, the Montero CV's could hang with 37's but i don't know that a 1310 axle uni will like that much. The good thing about a D44 is a ton of upgrade options for it, the main thing now is to have awesome suspension and the housing built. I can wheel on that then things like RCVs, Reid knuckles and crossover steering i can do under the truck on a weekend once i have the money.
