i wanted to start a build thread for my jeep now that its getting tons swapped into it...
well i had a rough rubicon run memorial day and stripped out my dana 30 pinion. i was on 4.88 gears and gave it a little to much skinny pedal up soup bowl and over the hole trip actually..
the pinion went on the way back to ellis from buck i suspect that soup bowl was what did most of the damage
I have a video of me getting up it!! I guess i took a different line than most do..

Here is some other pics from the trip
Never a good trip when you come home with your carrier and shafts in your jeep....
Well i also added a diff gaurd for my rear diff the type that bolts over you stock cover but i didnt swap the bolts out to longer ones.. on the trail i peeled the cover off dragging it over rocks and lost about 8 bolts from my cover....well i wasnt able to properly re seal the diff because the cover is bent so i had a costant leak from my rear diff... Well driving my rig to work on the freeway i let the fluid run dry and my rear end locked up on me.... Stupid me for neglecting the rear end fluid stupid 44a for being aluminum...
ran it bone dry
well i dont plan on fixing my dana 30 and 44a i am going to be running a 14 bolt rear axle which i picked up Saturaday it is out of a Van so its 70 inches wide and came with a ruff stuff cover!
I want to 4 link my rear end i already have the rear crossmember on the jeep
The front is 3 linked all custom by RK Specialties it has a passenger side upper with 7/8 heims and the lowers are 1 1/4 heims from Ruffstuff
Before i painted the links and got the ZJ driveline
