new off-road recovery vehicle

[DeTowman]

but will the d44 handle a 40in tire

If it's open and you're awful light on the gas, it might last more than one trip off-road. It'll just eat tre's and bearings before the shafts and joints go boom.

Like I said earlier then I will switch to a straight front axle like on my 79,but i will use a 3/4 ton with 8 lugs to match the dana 60 rear.......good looking your 95...Dean
