I just used a midland portable unit and just hook it up for events. You just run the antenna and wire inside. The plug just lives near the front of the center console. Range works well enough for the groups. Midland 75-822 40 Channel CB-Way Radio...

Threw a little bling at the situation for motivation! These parts have been on the shelf for too long. 16" big brake kit with tie rod flip. Hopefully they fit the stock ravines. G2 30 spline axles, and savvy arms. Need to torque it all down. I'll drop the arms and paint the frame and clean...

Thanks! Working when time allows. I also was able to get the exhaust back in this week too. Progress being made and hopefully the rear axle goes a bit quicker

Finally found time to finish up the front axle. Just need to test for leak but feels good to have final bearings, backlash and pinion preload all with spec and the same as my final set up run. I bought these lockers used but NIB. I I noticed someone cut the copper line shorter or this older...

Great seeing you fabricating your own stuff here. I would be in for a front bumper and corner armor too!

They look great! Excited to see the bumpers finished!

I felt like once I crept over .070 it got too deep. My available shims for the carrier kept my backlash in the .007 range or over .10. Thanks for all the help! I'll button this up this weekend hopefully.

Thank you gentlemen. Back at .069 with about .008 to .009 backlash. Shims for the carrier a bit limited with only being able to use arb's shims. Backlash adjustments are either in spec or just above .010 or below .05 Also ran a .068 with .009" backlash.

Thanks! I'll give it a try see what shims will allow. I have a bunch of shims but since this is a 30 spline locker I'm limited to what ARB provides. I ran the other pattern options to see if I could dial it in any more. I knew the .069 was close!

Thanks Mike! I was leaning towards the first one and was just going to post the first 2. Then I saw I could split the difference with a shim combo. Figured why not but then I figured I would poll the audience on this.

Any thoughts on this pattern? @hosejockey61 , @Blackjack ? Trying to decide between the three below. All about thousandth from each other. Or if you like the .069 stack above. Thanks! .066 stack, .007 backlash I ran this right before. .065 stack, .008 backlash .067 stack with a...

Starting to run some patterns. This is stock pinion depth shim and about .007 on backlash on every pattern A little deep, stock shim and new baffle. .074 total. .007 backlash .055 stock shim. Too shallow. Bracket established. .008 backlash .061 total stack. Still shallow. .069...

Sx are a popular tire around here too. The ltbs so bad they broke my exhaust due to then shaking/vibrations 😆. The smoothest were the ssr and trxus for me. I was driving to the trail back then though 4 plus hour trips. Ironically I have smoother riding tires now and trailer it. Go figure. I...

Every swamper I have ever run was heavy, fast wearing and never could get balanced except for the trxus mt. Even then, they took a ton of weight. They worked pretty good for my terrain though. I have run ssr's, ltb's, tsl's and trxus mt. The trxus mt were my favorite out of those until they...

Thanks! I think it's just the shadows and I may have snapped this pick without any preload or bolts in. I know that small plate they come with isn't quite thick enough. What you did to yours really improves the design. What I noticed almost immediately was the weight savings. It made...
