niCE! thanks for sharing your expedition!

 

You should probably go look at the rough country website and see the prices
Front winch bumper is 379 alone the stinger add on is another 160
And the smitybilt winch new was 300

 

I did look at the website used is used unless its in a box not installed. Then I'd be asking for what your asking. A warn front bumper with winch sold for 400 about 3 months ago that what worth way more then a rough country bumper. In all honestly and not being a dick about it you can probably ask 500 maybe push 600 but that's about it. My .02 glws.

 

No problem. I got many more pictures and GoPro video I need to edit.

 

Anybody have a extra 8.25 aftermarket or stock different cover that they want to get get rid of. Need one ASAP.

 

What happened?

 

It was dented and I figured it I can't straighten it out ill look for another one. But was able to fix it I hope, it has rtv and the gasket so it should be fine plus it was at the top.

 

I have a stock one. You can just have it if you still want it.

 

So I've been thinking I need more TRACTION! Been contemplating welding up my 8.25 and looking into an auto locker for the D30. Yes I know it'll chirp tires on corners(not like I already dont) and my tire life will drop a lil. Anyone of you guys ever do it? any tips on how it should be done? Im sure it may lead to broken axle shafts and I want to make sure I do it in a way that doesn't make it a total B**** to swap them out. But those are pretty abundant at the JY. I'll only be running it maybe a year before I Axle swap as It looks like Ill be getting a car for the daily duties around Feb or March with my taxes and the XJ will go into full project mode.

 

29 spline are not abundant in the yard, 27 spline is what you find. With a fully locked rear everything changes esp in slippery conditions a lunch box is a better idea for a DD can still get away from you but not as easy, plus when you swap the axles you can sell them. Tires are going to wear faster as no slipping on turns, more stress on shafts. Weld spiders to each other and then on the carrier. Doesn't need to be pretty just strong.

 

I was just there. Saw two that shouldve had the 29s. Plus when I axle swap the axles is going is Chris' jeep to replace his d35. I no it'll like kicking out on ice and snow. But honestly these tires dont really even get grip in those conditions. **** if its wet out I cam spin them till 3rd

 

29 spline didn't show up till 97 everything else was 27. Ive been there about 4 times these two weeks and nothing newer or I would if graves some parts for my Cuz.

If he wants a 44 I might be getting rid of mine. I swaped in a 8.25 with 4.10 and disc last week.

 

Idk im trying to convince him to go to real axles. But he wants to keep his build more mild. Maybe 35s or 37 at the biggest. Although I wanna run 40s at the smallest. On one tons. I would like to gear to 4.10 for the time being.

 

Why spend that money on gearing now when your going to upgrade. Better start looking for axles the rear is easy enough but the front your going to have fun I've been looking, I had found a set and never jumped on them. This being on tons you best spending it on armor and reinforcement then traction at the moment.
I don't plan on going bigger then 35 but I would sure love a set of waggy axles.

 

A D60 front and a 10.5 in the rear
