So I talked to him a bit via text today. hes down to trade everything, except I want my plastic, rear axle, hubs, bar set up, bumper and grab bars. The only problems that I see coming from this is that he is four hours away. I think the wife and I are going to plan a two day weekend trip over there so that we can swap everything out and have plenty of time to make sure that everything is in good shape. and the idea behind that is so we both can say that were happy with the things that we wanted to keep and trade the stuff that we want.

The frame is painted purple, I'll live with it for now. the swinger and full suspension is the newer style and he said he would have no problems trading those across as well so Its looking pretty good.

Would my axle work in the newer bearing carrier?
and I'm assuming that my plastic would bolt on fine too.

He'll also be buying my broke a** 86 motor off me and I'll be throwing in all of the other older random parts that I have.
