Sweet looking rig and nice set-up.
Curious though are you planning on changing out the axles with running 37" Pitbull Rockers.
I heard from several people running those tire that they are super grippy and have snapped a few axles as well. Just something to think about with doing any heavy wheelin or rockcrawling.

Looks awesome!!! Congrats ! That's the color I will get if DC ever puts in a diesel. lol I may not wait that long.
The 20" wheels are right for on road handling as there is less rubber sidewall to flex when turning. For off-road and big rocks I (IMHO) would go with a small diameter wheel for more cushion and tire wrap @ low pressure.

RE: Axles
I will probably just upgrade to some Superior alloy axles when they come out. I'm not too worried about breaking shafts until somebody comes out with lockers for these axles. I am hoping that the improvements made to the 30 and 44 combined with alloy shafts will let me run the tires without worry....I'll be sure to post when stuff breaks. Usually, I'm not too bad about breaking stuff because of my driving style (I don't have anything to prove when wheeling) so hopefully they hold up. U-joints are the biggest concern.
