i've always wondered about the ZJ one but never actually checked it.

as for the WJ's if they didn't have that vari lock(i think its called not 100% sure) they had a HP30, is what i read a few yrs back.

but i'm sure you know more about the grands than i do, so if i read wrong i'm wrong. the ZJ's are to heavy for me to really have gotten into them and the WJ's are to new for me

On 35s you can do fine, but it depends alot on how hard you wheel it. On my waggy front, I have had one break, and it was a U-joint. That was because I was winching up something, and it was jamming my tire into a bump (I didn't know this...) putting way more strain on that tire than in any normal circumstance. Corey is running 38s, and as far as I know, works his rig pretty hard . Out of curiosity, Corey, have your breaks all been shafts or U-Joints? Or U-joints that in turn broke the shaft ears?

I am running 37" MTR's now, Alloys USA U joints and stock shafts. First break was the passenger side outer at the flange. Second time it broke a u joint and took out the ears on the inner and outer shafts. And this time I broke the driver side outer at the flange. So both.

Any one have any ideas on where to get small copper line like the stuff used with ARB's? my line got in a fight with the ring gear and lost . Also does anyone know what size it is, 2.3mm? Its the newer model for a dana 30 (RD-100 i believe)
