I'll simply echo Chet's thougts. Seems like the only terrain we're going to have left in this area of Texas is ash and charred stumps! |

Duffer, How did those stock axles hold up turning those beach balls? I see that your signature says your changing them? |

I think the full float 44 rear axle is fine with 33's. The D25 I keep expecting to self destruct but it just keeps going (and earning my respect that they are a lot tougher than most of us give them credit for). That said, it is open and my driving style is very conservative-I take my time and usually keep the rpm's below 1000. I am going to feel a lot better with a high pinion 44 up there and am really looking forward to ARB's on both ends which is the only reason I am changing out the 19 spline rear axle. A front locker would have saved 3 winch jobs this summer, 2 of which were backwards self extractions when I got the front diff hung up in the rocks and couldn't get enough traction to back up (steep slope). I am pretty sure that if I tried locking the D25 it wouldn't last one trip. |
