A 14 bolt or a Dana 60 (or 70) is crazy overkill, IMO. If you had access to some earlier 12 bolts cheap, I would say that. For the power and intended usage, a trussed 10 bolt should be fine. Like I said, I would go a bit steeper on the gear, just to get it to move and keep the trans from hunting gears. After seeing the pics, the only other thing I would change is the rear bumper to a sport bumper. Nice looking rig.
