I was not planning on doing this upgrade so soon. The other day I was comming home and my diff on the rear of my Dakota broke the spider gear, so I put it in 4wd and started to go home and I drokr the spider gear in the frontend. I called my dad to pull me home, when I was almost home ,both of my axles came out of the reat at the same time slamming my ASS end on the ground. Get this, Carl, remember how I helped you get your GC off of that ledge at Red Creek, this is what I had to do to my truck, I lifted the rear of my Dak with my winch on the front of my CJ 5 and pushed my Dak to the house with a police escort  Dude everyone was tripping out on what I did.
What came out good with this is that I was able to order a 2003 Dakota R/T rearend with Disc brakes and a 3.92 ratio w/ a posi unit.  Found one with only 2200 miles on it.  I am waith=ing for it to come in, it should be here sometime Sat., can't wait.

Yeah that would have sucked w/no winch. I changed the ratio from 3.55 to 3.92 and I disconnected the front driveshaft. I cleaned out the spiders from the front diff, and in Jan. I will change the front set of gears to 3.92. Carl, I appretiate the offer for helping, which anyone is welcome, I will start on it around 10:00 in the morning Sat. I have cases of Beer, but won't really have much to do until the rearend comes in, as I already pulled out the old rear. I think I will take off my body lift tomorrow, and put it back to stock height. Might also start painting stuff under the body just to make it look neater.
