Rear end options
My third member grenaded last year. Want to get my ride back on the road. Mostly street driven, some 4x4. Probably looking at a limited slip.
At what amount of abuse is a 31 spline a good idea?
What vendors do you suggest for a complete 3rd member?
How different is a $900 chunk from speedway motors, compared to $1700 from wild horses?

Re: Rear end options
Just my two cents but if I were driving mine "mostly on the street," I'd call this guy ...

Re: Rear end options
I would be cautious using limited slip on the street. With both rear wheels turning in snow, the ride gets a little squirrelly. If you're looking for mostly street and mild off-road, open carrier would do fine and save you money too.

I think to me. I'd offer it up but I think we took a nick out of the pinion cutting the race off of it.

Re: Rear end options
I too wouldn't buy brand new unless you're making a show truck. So many used options out there for way cheap.
1973 Bronco, 351 SEFI, Locked, discs, 35's ZF-5spd and Atlas 4spd. 235:1 Crawl Ratio. It may be ugly, but it's slow.
