What is the drop front and rear drop on the transfer case?

Are you trying to build a mudder or a trail rig?

Full width axles or are you trying to stay under 76"?

You might want to cross post over to the normal forum, you might get a bit more traffic.  :)

Going for 36" tires I would say Toyota axles should be more then enough.  What is the diesel engine out of?

Sorry, I should have been more specific about what I mean by drop.  :P

On the transfer case, does the front shaft come out on the passenger side or the drivers side?  And on the rear, does it come out the center, or is it offset to the right or left.

Isuzu mine truck?  Should make for a unique build.  How does it compare weight wise to the stock 1.3?

You could do the cheap build path.  Two lockers, the smallest swampers you can get, some body armor and a lot of throttle.  :D

Cool, your setup properly for the Toyota axles then.  Or if you can find them, a set of Dana 44's off of a Scout 2.  :D

For the diesel, you might check to see if you need an electric pump or not.  A lot of older diesels have two stage pumps, one that pushes fuel up at low pressure and a second mechanical pump on the block that is high pressure for running the injection system.

Just out of curiosity, what is your dad building up?

Big build.  :)

What are you going to do for the suspension?  Stick with leaves and just cut the body up, or lift it to the sky to clear those 36" tires?
