Counting the seconds! Yeah, you can add a set of two for yet another 55 bucks or so. I went with all six along the sides, but you're right, I need to add one or two front and back. The light bar is frickin' blinding. I can only imagine the light that those 50" light bars throw off. Adding lights is just a matter of splicing in. The lights are polarized so I did it in a parallel circuit. I don't think you can do it in a series pattern, at least not that I could see.
looks good. seems like it would be good to have some light in front of the front tires and behind the back tires. you can add lights to that system right?Last edited by DesolationMania; 05-11-2014 at 08:38 AM.

A decent amount of changes the past month. Here's Stage 1 highlights of my project "All In".
- 40" Trail Grapplers/TR beadlocks
- 40 spline Currie Dana 70 rear
- 35 spline Currie Dana 60 front (one ton knuckles)
Really happy to get the spare from hanging off my back too!

Thanks for the props fellas!
Waiting on having my shortened front driveshaft to come back in and a bigger spacers to come in from Yukon so as I can switch out the Warn hubs with Yukons (stonger design, IMO) then I can put in 4wd. Right now, doing the 500 mile, drive like a baby, to break in the new gears.
Currie rotates the differential for a couple of reasons. * Remove the diff skid out of harms way (reducing seal cracking, reducing gear deflection). * Have more of the beefy cast iron portion take the brunt of impact (reducing gear deflection). * Enables higher ground clearance. *Helps with their washing the gears in diff oil design.
High pinion can be done with or without the differential angled, but that was a big reason I went with Currie.
It's a zinc coated 1 3/8 Currie TR.

Beast! Question... Why do the pumpkins angle the way they do with the driveshaft connection pointing toward the ground? What is the benefit if rotating the housing like that? Increased ground clearance I assume, but are there other benefits? And wouldn't it make the connection to the drive line weaker?
