wheeled it today.....

 

I ran over those posts on lead seperating the lanes and ripped my o2 sensor wire haha
sucks... but not as bad as your day

 

And I have a 98 xj bumper. Little bent on the bottom but it'll work

 

Hey guys, I was curious as to what rear axle set-up's you all have. I'm currently working on swapping my D35 for an 8.25 with 27 spline shafts and was wondering how the hold up for anyone running em. Also anyone with any aftermarket axle parts is welcome to add any input. Thanks!

 

i run a 27 spline C8.25 and beat on mine. no issues so far at all.

 

HAHA just PM'd you, you run any aftermarket shafts?

 

nope. stock and 176,xxx on the shafts and axle lol. pm replied

 

HAHA! Nice! So that makes life a little easier on me then. I was afraid I was gonna need stronger aftermarket shafts, but seeing all the extremes you but yours through, I think I am good! I am thinking about re-gearing to 4.10 though.

 

i am at 3.07's lol

 

Nice, I have to re-gear as my 8.25 and D30 don't match, figured I might as well go with 4.10. I still am considering some superior alloys for it.

 

dont go alloy's until you go 29 spline. the reason being. wheel the 27 spline till it breaks then upgrade. 29 spline is stronger, a 29 spline alloy is more than strong enough!

 

True that! Thanks man!

 

just got back from mud fest in amarillo.. man was that **** crazy,,, cant wait for next year...
