Got them from 4wd.com. g2 44's with 5.13 and a front 30 spline arb and rear 33 spline detroit. Right now I have the stock 8.25 and 30 and in storage I have a 30 and 8.25 from a 99 xj. They will be for sale soon. :D
Holy **** Jeff! I just looked at the $$ on 4wd.com and you have more invested in those axles than I have in my whole HEEP :D They are nice as hell though. :thumbsup:

Let me know how much you want for those when you're ready to sell.....and how much was that setup from 4wd? That's f'n perfect. VERY nice!
Will do. I got several other things at the same time including the arb pump and it came to right at $5000.

Yeah, I paid 1200 for the jeep and have close to 10k in upgrades(might be more, thats just a guess). I still have to get some steel and shocks once I figure out how long they will need to be.

Just ordered the rear truss. :D



I dont know what Im going to do in the front for a truss yet.

MAN I'm jealous. I had a wish list that I was going to start chipping away at, but the wife is going to cut back to part time to start her own business. There goes the play funds :(

Going to the junk yard tomorrow to look for lebarron hood vents. If anyone knows someone selling some let me know. :thumbsup:

Cut out 4" holes in front bumper and recessed 3.5" lights into them, and cut out hood for "DIY" vents. Pics to come. To Jeepspeed, check out "grill-o" aluminum sheets at lowes or home depot. I just picked up some for 5 or 6 bucks and cut the desired holes in hood. Epoxy from the backside and yer all set. In total I have MAYBE $15 in the project.

figured out that my drivers side LCA is moving around in the drop bracket, the bolt isnt moving though. meaning only one thing, the RE rubber bushing is shot...again...what a surprise. :brickwall
