Just a small question for some of you senior 4 wheel guys. I really don't know what my plan is at this time. I need to sell all my mustang stuff before i get into something else to play with. If i dont buy a jeep or bronco im going to build up 91 2WD isuzu i already have. Only have $50 in it so not afraid to destroy it. Will be droppin in a 306 and tons of other stuff. The question is should i 4link both ends or use leaf springs. I will also play in the mud here and there but mainly for rocks. You guys know the trails so any info is appreciated. THANKS!

leaf springs are alot cheaper and easier, but a four link will be better overall

Don't build a 2wd unless your plans are to convert it to 4wd.

If the plan is to articulate over rocks, leafs benefit from mods like 3/4 elliptical setups and revolver shackles to let the axle not only droop, but move in a smooth arc as it droops without binding prematurely.
You will find that the engineering, preparation, and driving approach to rockcrawling is sort of juxtaposed to mud-whomping. You can build a rig to do both OK, but it will be difficult to excel in both environs.
