Sounds like you are heading down the same path with your driveline/suspension as the one I now have.

-Great Basin Rovers 4.10 gears CHECK
-Great Basin Rovers CVs NOT IN THE PLANS YET
-Great Basin Rovers Front Axles NOT IN THE PLANS YET
-Great Basin Rovers Front Driveshaft CHECK
-Front Range Driveline Rear Driveshaft CHECK
-Front ARB Air locker CHECK, though maybe just rear
-Rear ARB Air locker CHECK
-ARB Compressor and Lockers connected to LR factory switches I NEED TO SEE THIS
-Rovertracks Rear Axles MOST LIKELY GBR, though RoverTracks rocks too
-Rovertym 3" Springs 1.5-2" OME FOR MINE
-SS Brake lines NOT IN THE PLANS YET
-RoverTym Front Radius Arms MIGHT NEED THIS FOR CASTER CORRECTION
-RoverTym Rear Links THESE WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA
-Rovertym Rear Shock Mounts NEED TO INVESTIGATE
-Rovertym Rear top Spring Retainers CHECK
-Expedition Exchange Rear Lower Spring Retainers CHECK
-Rancho RS9000 w/ Adjustable Dampening OME HERE
-Rancho RS5000 steering dampener/ relocated to Drag Link OME HERE
-Rockware Catalytic Converters Skid Plate GOOD IDEA
-Rockware Rear U-Joint Skid Plate CHECK
-Rockware Rear Bumper NEED TO CHECK THAT OUT
-Rockware Rock Sliders NOT SURE WHAT TO DO HERE
-Fuel Tank Skid Plate CHECK

Thanks for the cool ideas and list. Some new solutions to investigate here.

New to your forum...love it, great information on here.
Looking forward to seeing what you will be doing to the interior for storage etc. Sounds like you are heading down the same path with your driveline/suspension as the one I now have. You cannot go wrong with any of it.

Your choice in driveline components is questionable...

[nwoods]

Scott, you might want to stop by Inland Rovers next time you are in SoCal. Gordon makes some nice rock sliders, SD style roof racks, and shock relocation brackets for a longer travel three link setup (I don't really understand this last one, but it sounds good).

I agree, Inland Rovers is a great resource and Gordon does make some very nice parts.

Excellent choice Scott.

This is going to be a fun one to watch.

This is the kind of Disco I've ALWAYS wated to see. No bells and whistles to go bad on you. Only way it could be better is if it were a Diesel. Neat truck build man. Viva La no option trucks.

Cheers

-Rancho RS9000 w/ Adjustable Dampening OME HERE

Just an opinion, skip the OME shocks and go straight to the Bil 7100s. You'll thank me about 30,000 miles and mucho camping gear overloaded-ness later
