Also all that work linking it and I don't think he is running larger than 10" shocks (I could be wrong but I thought that's what I saw on the box)....might as well just have cut off stock suspension and welded brackets on to the tons...and the driveline is a disaster. He already hacked one of those axles up to move the housing so why not do it right and move it to where he needed it to be (custom half shafts I know). Over all I was excited at the beginning and he quickly lost me.

Come on. Do any of you gits think he'd get views with "D2 Overlander build! Today I cut my fenders and put 32's on stock suspension!"


This guy is a pretty good fabricator, but his tastes lean heavily towards jeep rock crawlers. It's no surprise that he's making his D2 into a Jeep rock crawler.



I do really like the rear side window storage though. That's pretty cool.

If any of you guys are actually thinking about a 1 ton swap I have a pair built for a D2 Sterling, 5.38 and ARBs, shaved, hi steer knuckles
I also have drive shafts, 37s on double beadlocks, King coil overs, I will reuse the full hydro, arms and brakes
