Flat tab is a 8.25, great rear axle.
Rounded bottom is a Dana 35, not so great axle.

What rear axle? Does it have a flat tab on the bottom of the differential?
Yes, flat tab.

I'm coming to the realization that this build will only see some light off-road action. There may be some technical terrain in the mix. How capable is a 3" lift on 31's?

Light usage or heavy usage, mild lift or tall lift, either way it's a Jeep. Enjoy what you have. Welcome back by the way.

If the builder thought it would be funny to put "69" on it. I don't trust them to do good work.

Besides, I'm a stickler. The Wrangler should be a '92 Sahara, and the SUV was an Explorer

I've met him a few times. He's a weird dude. But I would trust his mechanical skills. That lotus elise in the background is his. He bought the XJ that way, and i remember him having a TJ before but i think he got it painted like that, but i'm not sure.

I almost bought one a while back, but the windshield frame is perfectly at eye level, and I couldn't see a damn thing

Maybe he chose that number in case it rolls, so you can still read the number easily.

I honestly love it. I can definitely respect the man hours that went into it.
