Now that I'm not on the damn phone app I can see this so-called "smiley" bumper. Looks cool. Hiding the winch back there inspired by the stock setup?

Also - Ravines are 8" wide like Canyons, aren't they? Helps with clearing control arms.

I thought they had better back spacing since of the space between the lugs and the front of the rim.

I want those rims. Was a good deal in MD but won't be there in time for them probably

Nope. 5.5 inches.

Mine don't rub but I also have WJ lower control arms.

I love the way they look. I have a 5th matching wheel but no tire or carrier to put it on.

He has my old spare Ravine.

I Regeared this weekend, probably already posted about it. 4.56's in the 30 and 8.25. 8.25 needs the pinion depth set a little bit deeper but I'm rolling on the 30 now.

Sure. With all the right tools, yes right tools, and some time you'll be fine. That 30 isn't perfect, but sweet Jesus it's a bastard compared to the 8.25. Those adjustability rings are pretty nice for adjusting backlash and moving the pattern. 30 has too many damn shims.

Took me exponentially longer than I expected.

There's nothing to it. You just need the time, tools and patience. and the gear bible.

Read. Read. Read. Read until your eyes hurt and you don't know the words, then keep reading.

Read this front to back 8 times and you'll begin grasp the concept.
