dont know if i will be going anymore. swapped seths old 8.25 with "super tight" limited slip in yesterday. went to flex on my buddies tire, and low and behold...my jeep was still a two wheel wonder. limited slip doesnt even think about catching.

swapped in some RE 5.5 inch leafs in place of my rustys 6.5 inchers, and rubicons center pin is 1 5/8 inch off from the rustys leafs. now my new cv d-shaft wont fit....had to steal my buddies front d-shaft from his ax-15 eqquiped xj.....they are 2 inches shorter.

started driving home, and there is a loud clicking noise coming from the rear diff.......dont know WTF it is. oh yeah, and my shackle angle is fooked.

was looking at my wonderful hack job on my fenders......now im gonna have to tub my rear fenders to fix them.

came home to some really bad news in my family. i wont go into detail, but im highly discouraged right now.

i did a lot of work to my jeep to be able to come to this, and took 10 steps backward yesterday.......i may just spend the money i was gonna on this trip, on swapping in my full widths. i think my wheelin this year is done.

im pissed at the world right now.

Nothing wrong with putting the cash into the big upgrade , and giving yourself until next season to get it done right .

i know you wouldnt knowingly sell me bunk junk seth. just frustrated.

it felt tight by hand, but wont enguage at all while climbing. got half way up my buddies 35'' tire and was slipping 1 front and 1 rear.

i wouldnt feel right taking all the dough back, cuz i did buy it. but if you wanna give me half back and you can have her back in a couple weeks, thats fine with me no hard feelings here bro. we are homies.
PM me

i did make the shock mounts high clearance......
