Thanks Wabbit. The hub upgrades were an easy decision really, don't have them=warranty no good if the axle gets stripped. As it stands now, for an extra $140 that's an insurance policy I had to have...http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=479938
Glad you like 'em. Wanna come up & help with the install?

Is it just me, or is that top spline bowed?

Well the TG stuff came in for the install:

So I will probably get started on the birfs Sunday. Hopefully I will be done on Sunday too!

We did, and it took forever just to get the top coat of mud off. I didn't want to get it squeaky clean since we are going back today. I promised Tyler we would since we couldn't make the River Rock trip this weekend. I will have some action shots posted up later this evening.

Keeps the ugly body lift hidden, & the mud to a respectable minimum (I hope).

I am working on a way to secure to bottoms to the frame, either attach a few lead weights with JB Weld or something similar.

LOL.

I was considering sending you a PM asking if you wanted a few outdoor stickers to add to the collection.
