Went out and did some trail riding today to make sure everything was in good working condition. Which didn't have any problems!
and whil traveling down the piedmont road we came across a rock garden. I have a few pics of me poser flexing the other pics on my buddy's camera.

Just looked through your build, You put lots of work into your rig. If I'd had known you were running Dirty 30's I'd come over and taken a better look, from the distance sitting on the tire they looked like Longs. I have 27 spline longfield birfs in mine, the older generation bought them used from ORS before they went out of business. Really think you need to step up to 0.095 walled DL you can get 0.120 but have was told they are aproblem to balance. I'm running the 0.095 , seeing the busted reduction box makes me wonder about your crossmember. Might be time to add some armor to protect the drive train. I need to go look under mine as it took some had hits on the rock garden, axles and crossmember/skid plate.

Well the reduction box was on my single case and it was my fault I was hearing a funny noise by didn't check and my driveline bolts came loose and the drive line flange smacked the side of the case and the x member I made is pretty thick 3/8 steel and half inch c- channel so it should be able to take some abuse actually I dropped on it a few times pretty hard on some rocks at home and I definitely agree on the drivline it will come just a matter of the extra money I need to get this other truck sold and I'll be able to put my flat bed on and a better driveline

Ok so I can get my rear driveline retuned with .156 for 150 bucks do u guys think that will be thick enough to take a beating from some rocks? I'm not sure how thick a tough driveline is but I know a stock driveline is .080 so it's almost 2x as thick.
