Thanks. They were all fun moments!
I will thoroughly test the axle with my 33s. We'll see...
Ya Donnie!
Locked front. That rig is a ton of fun with the 2.5L up around the rev limiter.

Had a good time at Haspin Acres this past weekend. The Jeep went through many changes from the previous trip to this one, and it was fun testing out the new stuff.
New things on the Jeep are:
-8.25 29 spline w/ 3.55s
-Non Disco D30 w/ 3.55s, a diff guard, and a Spartan
-Cut and folded the rear quarters
-New stock bumpstops on the front
-Rebuilt leaf packs
-Fixed rust on the rear floor
The better gear ratio and locker are great. Looks like a cage is next on the list. Here are some pics from the weekend and before:
Front axle swap/locker install.




First flop and only wheeling pics I have! If my buddies hook me up with more, I'll do the same here.

Damage isn't terrible. Pushed the roofline in, dented a few things, and cracked my windshield more. We jacked, winched, and stomped things somewhat back in shape. And after a lookover it sputtered and smoked a little back to life.

More damage pics.




Crawling on some of my work's firewood pile.

Rocking the stock tie rod once more, because I bent the v8 ZJ one.
