they get the stuff for free to have it marketed on the show. there are much better long arm kits then the one they used and those axles are a little out of most of our budgets

i think a RE LA would have been a better choice, but I think Rustys is one of their sponsors. I would love to have a 5.9 ZJ though it would make a ok tow rig. I wonder if they are going to beef the tranny? does anyone know whats to come other than bumpers?

They were using later model 2004 brakes, they redrilled the rotors for the correct wheel pattern, and they used the 2004 knuckles, they reused their original u-joint style axle shafts, but they welded a 1/4" spacer onto the knuckle between it and the unit bearing, so they could use those shafts.
