Paragon- CHILL, DUDE. The reality of it is, we are all just expressing our opinions. Maybe if the first post wasn't titled "Baddest JK Ever," this thread wouldn't be so long. Why do you have to fight everyone over these issues. Let people express their opinions without telling them they are wrong.

IIRC, if you read through the initial build-up thread, the guy says he's planning RE's 4.5" long arm kit... AS SOON AS IT COMES OUT. Currently there's no long-arm kits actually available right now, are there? Everyone's showing them off, no one shipping them though. Much less weeks ago when this guy was first building his rig. NONE of RE's kits are shipping yet. He's building his rig with what's currently available, which isn't much yet even now.
He's running those tires to see what the Rubicon axle can stand up to. So far so good it seems. The Rubicon D44's are 32 spline inner, D70 sized according to Ron @ AlloyUSA, with 32-spline fine-spline outers. I can't remember off-hand how the u-joints stack up though.
Funny thing is, if you look at what he's done, I don't think he's really dropped a lot of dough in the rig yet. All the bumper and tube work was done himself, his driveline is pretty much still all stock, so the money is really in stuff most of us do anyway... lift and new tires, a winch, etc. And most folks will probably also be buying aftermarket bumpers (vs building their own).

US vs. THEM once again. Regardless of how you want to paint it, that's exactly the image you keep portraying. That is the part I don't get.
So what if other's do it, why are you creating a forum that is basing itself upon that?
I'll make my point very succinctly:
your comments:
"nothing any of us say will change your mind"
"Weare after all entitled to our own opinions even if they don't always agree with yours"

Look paragon, if you don't like the way I run this forum, the way I think or whatever, maybe you should consider starting your own forum. That way you can create it however you want, do whatever you want and say whatever you want.

Hey paragon, if you have issues with this decision, please contact me by PM. I'd be more than happy to keep talking to you there.
