Well, I think i finally think I have her so she will hold together a litlle better. After buying Warn Chromoly Shafts and spending an evening installing them only to find out that when the stock axles broke and bound up, it took out the Lock rite. :angry: So it all had to come apart again. She back together again and hopefully better then ever. :thumbsup: Not to mention just in time for the first snow of the year. :headbanger: I'm ready to tear some stuff up. Next on the list of things to do.... Paint, and a rear locker or spool.

Congrat's that's the size I want. Post when you're going and I'll try to follow.

WANTED.... Looking for something bigger then 33's. Like 36's or even 37's for a 15in rim

I guess you can take this off now. :-
