I finally got to hit the trail and test out my d30/aussie front. My long arm kit that i put on order 4 months ago never shipped - so I took off the 37's and put on the 33's for a better match with my 3” econo lift (that’s hard to do mentally btw)...
I managed to complete the following tasks - spun a large rock up the side of the jeep, broke my u joint which tore the ears off the shafts, damaged the axle seal and damaged the Aussie...Damn. Thank god I had spare axle shafts...
Thought I’d share some pix…

Sorry about the damage. But man, what a story for the beer cooler. There's always a laugh when you get to say, "Whatever you do...Dont..."
