I was planning on heading down but my buddy bailed at the last minute. I don't really want to drive 3 hours solo if something happen.
have fun and stay safe!

yes you can just throw 29 spline shafts into the 27 spline housing, but this requires new carrier, spiders/LB locker, shafts, and resetting up the diff.

Or you can just bolt the 8.25 under the jeep and fill it with fluid and drive away... less likely to F-stuff up on diff setup, and less work IMO. but both get the job done.

True true, And I am not saying its a bad locker, But I don't think you where hard on it enough to justify the break IMO. but You where on it....

Best pic of the trip IMO....

Like i said the testing will be continued, If it keeps breaking em I'll be on here badmouthing em like mad, but so far I'm not sure its the product or me being a dumbass. And for the record, I love that picture, even if it is of my epic fail that cost me a whole lotta dollars!
