You have a nice rig for being new to the scene, good start! What kinda tires you put on it in the last pic? Those 35's?

 

[blueline1430]

No those were 38's that came on it, I put the others on it that are 35's to make it a little more drivable on the street.

What axles are you running with the 38"s? Are you locked?

Good looking jeep by the way.

 

[blueline1430]

The 38's are gone. 35's now. It is dana 35 with superior axles. They are geared 4.88.

[blueline1430]

I blew up my D35 with 33's. The True track diff threw two bolt heads. The gears picked up the pieces and chewed up everything. Swapped in a 31 spline Ford 8.8" from a 1999 Exploder. Same bolt pattern. Stronger axle.
A couple years later, the vacuum failed on the front axle so I went for the 4350 axle shafts with 760X joints. Tied rid ends and ball joints went so I stuffed in Moogs and did the Rugged Ridge HD steering. I live the Jeep owners motto. "Equipment Failure is and excuse for Upgrade."
Enjoy the coming upgrades. Never get mad when something breaks. And if you don't have a compressor and air tools yet, they will pay for themselves.

One of my favorite extras is my Hurst short throw shifter. I got tired of whacking my knuckles on the dash.
Have a blast painting you white canvas
