Thanks for the props guys!
If you think it should be moved to the FAQ, I can see how hard it would be to get it converted. Ive done them in the past, but never something this long and drawn out.
Onto the long term results and a couple small updates on the Jeep.
Going on two years later, and all thats happened with the D44 is I have busted two Warn Premium lockouts. They have since been put in the used parts bin, and I now run FSJ slugs.
After about two years I took the front axle apart, checked r&p, shafts, brakes, and all of my fabrication. Everything checked out, and I even used my own write up on how to reinstall everything.
Updates on the Jeep, most are found in my "Boatside" thread, which consists of boatsides, cage, dash, and front bumper installations.

Cut on the dotted line...
Front bumper finished
And the last poser shot
That about wraps it up. I am now living full time in CO, and the Jeep is living at my parents 1200 miles away in CA. One of these days I will get a house with a garage, but for now my Jeep/wheeling days are over.
Hopefully within the next 2-5 years Ill be back at it with bigger and better things. Chopped top, 4ds, tons, and lower gearing.
As always, let me know if you have questions Im more than willing to try and help. If you have things to add, please feel free to do so. Add links, pictures, ideas, etc, as we all can learn from them. :cheers:
