Schweet lookin ride!

 

welcome! :cheers:

 

what took ya so long to join! :huh???:

 

now get rid of the 35! :thwak:

[Bubba]

The Xterrains do a great job. I like them better than anything I've ever wheeled with. Those being BFG mud terrains, BFG allterrains, and toyo M/Ts. They grip like nobodys business.

 

 

What took me so long to join? I just barely heard about all ya'all...

 

 

I'll get rid if the D35 once I snap a couple axles. (Aint broke one yet. 8))

[GreenF350]

Nice truck...I'm JEALOUS

[ORCA]

Very nice truck! I dig the yellow!

 

A buddy of mine had Xterrains and said they were the heaviest tire he has ever had...what do you think? He's a pretty beefy guy too :dunno:

[Oizarod115]

WOOOHOO! thats one badass truck man. love it.

 

only thing i would add would be some black JEEP on the tailgate from spence at http://www.jeepsticker.com

 

I'm pretty sure the AW4 is the difference between breaking and not breaking a d35 we wheeled one on 33's for the longest time with a 4.0 aw4 (never broke, just replaced it with a 44)

[JeepcoMJ]

I blew up a dana 35 with a 2.8, then blew it up again with a 3800 in the truck.

 

second time was easier :D

[jared]

kick @$$ manche bubba. the yelloow looks awesome

[Bubba]

Thanks ya'all.

 

As to how heavy the x-terrains are, I guess that now that I think about it they are pretty heavy. It don't bother me none at all though.\

 

 

 

Edit: The reflective black jeep decal sounds pretty cool. Might buy it. Definately going to buy the "Easy to be a truck, But hard to be a Jeep" Sticker. Get it in yellow. Put it across the back window.

[89eliminator]

that thing looks tough!

 

looks like you have more than one toy in that garage.

[Bubba]

Oh, the jeep in the back ground is my dad's. I was using his garage for the build up. The boat he is storing for a freind, same with the jet ski's.

 

 

 

I need you honest opinions. What do you think of the rims? Do they look ok on my truck?

[89eliminator]

I have always said that whether it be an ATV or a truck, if it was yellow the first thing that i would do would be putting black rims on it. in my opinion the coolest looking vehicle is yellow with black rims.

[Oizarod115]

LOVE the rims.

[ORCA]

I need you honest opinions. What do you think of the rims? Do they look ok on my truck?

 

 

Very tech looking. :cheers:

 

Girls probably like em :brows:

[Bubba]

Girls love the truck.

 

Unfortunately, they don't love the no A/C aspect of it...

[rockhardzj]

The rims suck, quick, better donate em to my MJ! :D

 

Kiddin of course, I like em in black.

[rockhardzj]

Very nice truck! I dig the yellow!

 

A buddy of mine had Xterrains and said they were the heaviest tire he has ever had...what do you think? He's a pretty beefy guy too :dunno:

Come on over, and try dickin around with one of my XML's, they arent even mounted! Then re-evaluate x-terrains being heavy... :D

[Bubba]

Hey, I had something happen today that needs explanation.

 

 

How do you shear the bolt for the middle seat belt?

Do you have a really big belly? :D

[Bubba]

Yeah...

 

But I don't drive from the middle of the truck.

[Bubba]

Well, I just put in a HP Single peice D30 out of a '99 cherokee. 8) Here's some pics:

What with having that happen, I'm thinking I might be ditching the D35

 

I was thinking maybe a Ford 9" From currie enterprises with arb, 4.11's, and 11" disc brakes?

 

Or a similar setup on a D44?

[ejndssn]

guess jack was hungry :hmm: ate a few i see why not the 8.25 rear i know that fords are abundant and maybe the price is right :dunno: i thins that the upgrade i will be looking into would be the 8.25

[Bubba]

I am not a fan of the 8.25. And I have doth a 9 inch and a 44 available.
