I think he said he'll have it this week and will be working on it over the weekend. He said that he's planning to keep the rear 9" and upgrade to 35 spline shafts, unless he's changed his mind...
9" was built by Currie. Big bearing, my dutchman shafts were drilled 5 on 4.5 and 5 on 5.5, next set of shafts will be 8 on 6.5 to match my front and hummer beadlocks with 4" backspacing.
I am! I'll be in Papua New Guinea from about the second week of January, till mid July. But it looks like I'll probably be keeping the MJ, so I'm still kinda thinking what I'm gonna do with it...
I think that there is still a tribe in New Guinea that practices cannibalism. Be VERY selective which huts you knock on. Bring Deet. If you can swing it, fly to Cairns, AU and go see the Great Barrier Reef. It's a very short flight from New Guinea.
