    I think I'd rather swap axles than untangle that mess

    Now that I actually paid attention to your sig I see its a 2004. Must be an early one as it doesn't have the trail rated badges.


    What are your plans for it?

    ok now for the buildup part. I am gonna start with a rear bumper for obvious reasons and then move to sliders... i am gonna leave the axles stock for now... if we spend any money on gearing it will be in the transfer-case first... but that is time away... i just taught Elise to drive standard on the road... we will have to do some driving offroad before we lift it or anything.... i just want to put some armor on it and some towhooks because for some reason i have 0

    I need ideas for rear bumpers. I really like the design of the Fab-fours one but i dont have a break so i would have to cut all the little pieces and weld it together turning a bumper into a 3 month project.. i was thinking 2x4 box since i have some laying around but dont think it is thick enough for a tire-carrier. speaking of which what spindle do i use?
