nice rig..im going to be doing the same in may..so i might be asking you a bunch of questions..
 






My suggestions would be to see if you could find a Wrangler Rubicon down there, that you could steal a dana 44 out of, or just opt for a dana 30 out of a cherokee for now. I'm sure there are cherokees down there.

Dont bother with Rubi D44's, Your better off getting a XJ d30 and putting some money into. A rubi D44 is going to cost you like 2k. and all it is is a Dana 30 with D44 pig, but it takes Special Rubicon D44 gears only.

About 10mpg:( city and hwy with the 35's. I just went to 37's so I havn't really checked the mpg yet though.
 






Do you ever get pulled over for the tires sticking out to far with the full widths? Mine is going to be a daily driver so i dont want to be a cops wet dream everytime he feels the need to bust me for something. Good news though. I found a 79 bronco for 500 bucks. runs too!
