Awesome that sounds great after mothers day weekend ill be free on most Saturdays my name is Josh by the way looking forward to meeting everyone

 

Yeah you would have a blast! I would so recomend diff covers, mine took a beating!

 

Kinda like what rough country offers those cage looking covers?

 

Those work, but I just sold my dif guards and got Solid dif covers. They're like 65 a piece and are much stronger. The problem with a stock cover is it allows the axle housing to flex, where a beefy cover doesn't.

I wanted to get ARB's but at $180each, I couldn't justify the extra cost.

 

And where did you find diff. Covers for 65 a piece if you don't mind me asking all the ones I've been seeing ate atleast in the hundred range

 

This is what I bought, both F&R with the lube locker gaskets:

I'll find a couple more links, My brother has them on his XJ also. There a are a couple sites that I found people talking about on Expedition Portal, One of them has one for the 8.25 which is cool cause that is what I rock in my rear. haha! I'm probably going to do those as my next major mod, although I would like to consider some prerunner bars or stinger into the budget. Will see

 

Heres a couple, http://www.solidaxle.com/ProductCart...owspecials.asp and another http://mad4wd.com/index.php?main_pag...81151560fb890d

 

Oh yeah, come to think of it I did order mine direct from Solid. DUH. I got confused because I ordered a bunch of stuff that day.

 

Awesome ill def. Have to pick a couple.of those up I like those solid diff. Covers clean yet a bit aggressive also I was going to order front and rear diy bumpers from jcroffroad.com I like the idea of assembling it myself and eventually get some rock sliders for the rockers still have to get wheels and tires but its hard to.justify that money when the tires.I have are brand new lol

 

solid's website is awesome will def. be ordering some of there products in the near future

 

Also quick ? Does the Chrysler 8.25 rear end bolt right in place of the d35

 

Yes it should. Some things to check is whether the D35 has ABS or not. Obviously gear ratio needs to be the same and get new u-bolts for the 8.25, but yeah it should bolt right in.

 

Sweet good to know because I heard that the d35 has its weak points

 

You must have a later year 99 if you have the d35 then eh? I got lucky with the C8.25. I would think JCR makes a decent product and saves you quite a bit to assemble them yourself. I thought about JCR before I found my front bumper. Are you going with the regular or the winch bumper? I like the winch bumper personally but then again I also don't have a winch either. My brother ordered some pre runner bars from JCR for hishomemade bumper and they look real good, and not to mention there prices are real good. As for getting the 8.25 cover why don't you just get a d35 cover? Maybe I just didn't understand what you said.
