**update**
***the build is back on im back on budget with a little help from a friend! ***
So with the help of a friend I decided to do a budget build .....( and not a plumb cent more than what my budget allowed!!!!). From a lot of discussion I have found That people have a very hard time sticking to a budget. So I took some advice and sat down with a piece of paper wrote out 3 sections. 1.reliability 2.make it wheel 3.cool factor. after revamping a few times and eliminating aftermarket bumpers, fender flares, and other "not necessary crap" I had a nice parts list and a buffer for unseen complications in this build.
-----so what i have for a final build-------
keep the Dana 30 high pinion-putting in a Yukon replacement passenger axle kit along with a zip locker with 373's......i will explain why I'm going with 373's.
Replacing the rear with an 8.8 that has 373s and not in the budget to re-ring both front and rear. -----done
Airaid air filter and new exhaust from the manifold back----done
tuneup along with valve cover and oil pan gaskets flex-a-lite fan-ball joints---done
on board air using the stock 709t a/c pump----done
bulldog wench----not in the budget
skyjacker 3in flex economy kit---done
not going to screw with the 231 tcase really want a slip yolk eliminator but just not in the budget and i think i will be ok if I'm nice to my rig.
and an exocage----- not in the budget
I have started working on the "cheap" stuff so far. yesterday with the help of an almost overly intelligent friend i set up my on board air (using my a/c pump).
and it works
I will be posting pics and updating often. Would also love some input
