Well ball joints are more of a pain in the *** then I thought. Still not done. I have found motivation for my 4x4 swap thanks to you guys. Now should I look for another 2001 with a 8.25 rear end and just swap the rest into mine?

You should get the following:

High Pinion 92-99 D30 front
Transmission and t case from a 00-01
Driveshafts
Wiring from transmission and case to Plug into your harness
T case shifter linkage

That's right, I went and read the "Everything you wanted to know about the AW4" thread on NAXJA again.

Ok, so say I go to the jy and find a 99. How am I going to tell if the trans and transfer case are good. What am I going to look for?

look on craigslist for something that was crashed or a blown engine where everything else is good and they are selling the complete vehicle for cheap

yes, i used the rampage housings, hella 80/100w bulbs (not street legal but no ones ever flashed me for lights being too bright) just aim the lights correctly, i also installed the putco harness at the same time, one of the best upgrades ive done!

I would just build those myself if I was at that point. I can fully support big res shocks though. Coil & oil.

It would be a custom shock hoop. I believe that one is custom also.
