That's what I was thinking, motor, 2spd, exhaust are still good. I still have stock steering servos and all front end parts. Only thing to purchase is shocks, center dog bone and chassis.

Well just added up the damage, and I think it's cheaper to rebuild. My only question is how do I know which version I have? I got the truck December 13.
I have all the other parts already.

Cheap considering the way it looksNo idea on version sorry
Yeah it's way more parts than the list, but I literally have a tool box of spare parts. I was crashing so much during the winter I bought almost everything except an extra chassis. Well at least I'll put the parts to use.

Added in 7075 c-hubs, 7075 front/rear bearing holders.

Upgraded the lower suspension arms to 7075 front and rear.

The DGI steering links and rear upper arms were too beefy. I removed them. And i replaced the steering with IRP.

I also ordered 7075 gear plate, 7075 front and rear shock towers, 7075 lay shaft and 7075 servo saver.

Basically the only 2 things that are not 7075 on my cat are the front and rear upper suspension arms.

Everything else is 7075.

One of the mods im working on is to replace the rear tranny cups with FLM. It needs turning and drilling to the correct size. I hope i can do it. This is a far more stronger cup than your stock and will eliminate the fear of the CVD Axle getting out from the cup due to suspension Travel
