Yeah, I'm gonna run the 5.29's. i think, with the 4-speed and 36's it will be right on the $. Maybe a little stiff, but gearing should be SWEET in low range with the 4.16:1's. 
It is like raising children....

I made a little progress today.
Fishplates are done and ready to be burned in.
I stripped down my IFS 'yota steering box and started "soaking" the splines to remove the pitman arm.
(I read, somewhere, that someone was having trouble getting theirs off, so I figured I'd soak it for a couple weeks...)
Weed, any chance you can mail me a "trial can" of JB80? 
I cannot find it around here.......

Also, I got my bumpstops (thanks Joe S.), bushings and greasable shackles...
