Thanks guys!
I hope to have it back on the road soon. I have broken three pinion gears in stock rear axles. With 4.10 gearing, the pinion shaft in the gear area is just too small to handle the stress of even mild off road use. So, I am currently looking for a stronger rear axle in the central Florida area and hope to find something that already has 4.10 gears to match the front axle ratio. I have notice that most newer axles have disc brakes and that would require additional changes to the master cylinder and maybe the front and rear proportioning valves. So I am researching what model axle would be the easiest to swap. Any axle suggestions or leads on axles in Florida would be greatly appreciated! I know that the driveshaft will require modification also.
Thanks again for responding to my first post and your kind words!
