Picked up a new set of axles. D44 rear from a rubicon and a D30 front. Both are locked with ARBs. I don't know the gears yet but I assume at least 4.10s if not better. I'll dig into them over the weekend.

As for the snorkel, I just used 3" flexible pipe, cut a hole into my stock box under the filter, fished the piping into the pass side cowl, used 3" PVC and connected it to the piping. Then using a 3" to 4" connector, I used some 4" piping to mount the cap on

Little outdated, but since I'm active again...

Added the Clayton 3-Link March of '14. Paired well with the Front FOXs which ended up being 13" travel shocks instead of 10"s. Also scored a factory tire carrier/bumper combo from a junkyard in '14 off a cherokee chief.

Ended up bending my front D30 at TDS 2014 and needed a replacement. Scored a pair of d44s with the stock lockers, pumps and 4.11s. Ditched the old worn out 33" Kevlars for some 35x12.50x15 General Grabber AT2s since I'm a full time student now.

Also swapped all my lights to LEDs. 3 row Headlights with hi/low. 20" single row on the fair lead, 50" dual row on the roof, and 8 led pods as rock lights. Much more has been added, but that's the gist.

I'm happy with the 993. It gets the job done on the track
