Wheeling was super fun this weekend. I think i have another planed run next weekend also.


Now i want to get some armour though. Im thinking sliders and a rear bumper.

For the sliders im debating between a set with our without kickouts. Im actually leaning twoards getting the ones from TG since they are DOM tubing and are the cheapest ive seen. I heard they were good quality too.

FOr the rear bumper i might try to get a marlin one and modify it so i can run it.
(Swingout carrier. )

Opinions?

904 - Your rig looks tasty. So what did you end up doing with the square shaft that you made?

I ended up getting a custom high angle driveline.

Gave the square to my friend so he could try to fix it up for his rig.

Do you have any pics of the two shaft with the angles of the CVs maxed for comparison, also how did the high angle shaft compare to the clearenced stock cv shaft before it took a $*!t on you of course? I'm in the slow processes of building my front shaft so if you have any does and don't on the matter would be much appreciated.

Do you think the front shaft would of held up better if you installed some new U-Joints?

We ended up going saturday and then again on Sunday.

IT was a blast.

Im thinking about ordering some TG sliders today from Tofer, also looking into some transfercase crossmembers.

My only thoughts about this is that at the moment i have a stock v6 case. I think i might get an adapter soon and get a 4.7 geared case. So i would still have a single case. Does anybody know if i get a dual transfercase xmember can i use it even with a single case, i would like to go duals later on down the road.
