dan58 Did you get 35-spline outers for it? You'll want them. :lo1l: What are you running for a traction bar on the back? I spied a truss on the rear dif.
cj5 buggy i haven't got the 35 spline update yet... i'll run it till she POPS then i'll go for the upgrade (Hopefully the price will drop) as for the rear... yes i have a truss setup in the rear... i'll get some better pics of it this weekend. this was the old setup... which liked to go POP...
jeepsr4ever Frankie...sweet! Now its going to be harder to break when me and Pat steal it :?: Nice shop there as well!
dan58 You should be able to upgrade the outers for about $400 or so. It's not cheap. :oops: I went with Yukons inners/outers, Spicer joints, and the Mt Logan flanges. If you don't HAVE to have hubs, go for the slugs. :t:

cj5 buggy some pics from today... out with the old... in with the new... see i do manual labor... close up of the rear truss.. since we had time for a break, the wife wanted us to help get ready for a new air compressor... the one we have won't even tighten or loosen the bolts on the diff cover. which means this has been all manual labor build... the wife cut herself building the form... anyone wanna guess what the dogs found in the back yard? :mrgreen:
ironman_gq Looks liek a deer to me :idea: . We got lots of them turning up in the spring after the wolves and other critters clean up after hunting season.
