Default Thanks y'all

Thanks, the wife loves it and it gives me something to work on. She knows to take it easy on the front axel, but i am curious how much it can take. the painted flares are an option, not sure if it is only on rubicons though.

Well one thing to think about, the C's are the same as a D30's, and so is the tube thickness of your stock d44. If you actually wheel it on moderate to difficult trails, I'd throw a truss on as well. Only cost me $130 shipped (Purejeep truss and c gussets) and another $50 to a guy from a local club to weld it on. Pocket change compared to what you put into it already. IMO, the C gussets would be a must if it were mine, wheeling it or not. But some disagree.

Wasn't criticizing the build, just throwing it out there as an FYI

Might want to look at 10-factorys for the rear axles. Alloy USA doesnt warranty bent flanges.
