way better than the dakota, cause way less time money and effort was spent for 95% of the result

To the point where I'm beginning to think anyone who wants tons and something bigger than a 4.0 is kinda dumb to buy a Jeep instead of buying a tub and dropping it on a one ton.

so I can fill it up and then pull it again when the Solid order gets here? oi.

I'd like to weld both but IDK about the stock front shafts. I could swap my lockright in there for 35sp inners but I think the Ford stuff is the wrong length, and this is a CAD axle so there's the longside seal issue to deal with if swapping in a one piece long side

Waynehartwig on pbb sell Yukon 35 spline 4340 inner kit for $350. It come with seals and CAD cover you'll need.

If your's Ford axle shafts are from 78/79, you can use the driver side as its almost perfect in length.
