No idea. Had no use for them so I just unbolted the diff covers, pulled the carriers and tossed them in the dumpster knowing I had new gears, lockers and everything else going in there. Sorry man.

Here are some recent pics of some new mods and the Jeep...

She's all bruised up now with dents in every panel except the trunk from the last wheeling trip. Oh well. No more body work will be performed on it now. I'm just too lazy to keep redoing it.

The trail to the Jeep. I got it that far!



Let the recovery begin!



Fun in the snow!



Broken flange on t-case.



Blown front Warn hub!



Stinger damage and front bumper damage...




New flange and u-joints installed. Park brake kit all installed and working good.



Damn trees. Wait maybe it was the beer. Hmmm... maybe beer in the woods just isn't a good idea. haha

Just sold my Jeep. Sorry guys. I know many of you liked reading this thread and following my build. Thanks for all of the questions and feedback over the course of this whole project. I'm about to be divorced so I need some time to clear my head and as a boat owner too (I have a 31 ft Sea Ray Sundancer) I think I'd rather spend my time on my boat rather than in the Jeep. See ya!
