LOL Good luck with your build. I keep watching and am always surprised. You've kept busy.

Thanks, camera is canon SD800 IS point n shoot, so nothing fancy, just set a long exposure time to capture the sparks

Yeah, the issue with the 37s is more like I may be pushing the limits of the 44s, but I think I'll wind up crhomo'd anyways so might as well.... we'll see, may just go for 4.88s gears instead of 5.13s to keep the pinion at a decent size.

They aren't worth the price anymore. TX-WJ got them when they were cheaper.

Cashmoney bent his front and it is at Trent Fab getting Rockcrusher 60's front and rear. Derick and Lisa said the front rub axle is prone to bending and breakage.

to my knowledge no they were not sleeved or trussed ... but they were geared and running on some 37 KM2s

**SaturnICL** · 08-18-2009, 11:55 PM

No they have been factory. And the one I sighted is a 08' JK Rub with a 4" lift and MTR kevlar 37's

The extra you have put into yours should do the trick. The only other thing is they tend to loose the caps on the short shaft u joint.

(didn't see if you changed the axles)

Yeah, I've seen that; imma tack the caps to the ears on the stub shafts till I can save up for chromos/CVs then use the stock for spares.

Score!

; went to my local 4WP store to get me an XRC8; paid for it then guy comes back from warehouse and says "sorry, system said we had one in stock, but we don't, only two XRC10s and one XRC12 back there....." so we are about to cancel the CC transaction, manager comes and says..."you sure you don't want a 10 for the same price? ($299+tax)"......... me:

O-O-O Go do it again for me

**Jones** · 08-22-2009, 02:49 PM

You scored on that one for sure! This thing is coming together nicely.

**TX-WJ** · 09-15-2009, 09:21 PM

I cannot compliment Greg

and LSR enough for the craftmanship on this thing; pics of what FedEx freight brought home today. I had them body color match the bumper and the fairlead/D-rings are powder coated graphite to keep the same color theme I have going on so far. Worth every penny fo shoo!
