I am an avid off road guy, with plenty of jeeps, early broncos, HMMWV's on 39" tires, etc etc. I have always liked the classic LR series and decided to build one for our Rubicon Trail ride in June. I just found one that I am going to use as a donor truck. It runs now but has not been driven much since some major engine work etc. I will either keep it as is, or if need be I have a set of Jeep truck axles (Dana44 front, offset D44 rear) as well as a 6.0LS/4L80E. If I do the drivetrain swap I will also use a D60/14 bolt for the centered rear difff. Hopefully I can build up and run 35" tires with as much of the original stuff as possible. If I run into issues, I have some parts to throw at it.
