Yeah, I have them up front. I went with Superior Evolutions. They took quite a while to be made, even though waggy shafts are a pretty common order. I could have gotten their discoveries quicker and cheaper, but those have a mere 10 year warranty while the evolutions are lifetime. Chances are I might not have a D44 in 10 years anyway, but still

Wasatch steel has 1.5x.120 wall HREW for $1.60-1.90 a foot. that was a month ago so it may be a little more since the new yr is about here. and you can get 10 or 20ft lengths.

So you down for some Hanging Tree on New Years Day Derek?

Anybody is welcome to tag along, I have an extra seat. If you are thinking of bringing your Jeep here is the description for this trail... and this is when the weather is nice.

This is an extreme 4WD trail- a high level of 4×4 driving skill is required. Front and rear lockers, large tires with agressive tread, and a winch are HIGHLY recommended, along with spare parts and friends to help you out. This trail has ROCKS, STEPS, WATERFALLS, and MUD. The trail may be impassable. Vehicle damage and personal injury is possible. Extreme caution necessary!

If I can get a truck or someone to tow my junk I'm in, I got a score to settle with that trail.

I want to check that one out,too. But I think I will wait for spring or summer to maximize my chance of making it up things

I definitely want to shoot for a Hurricane run in 2012 as well. We'll see if funds and availability line up with a run this time around.
