    This is like my 4th rack. I'm gonna break this next one too. No way around it. Might as well get free replacements.

    If I were 4 racks in, I would just do the free replacements as well. Only thing worth it

    The Safari was worth it at the time for a supposedly "upgraded" rack and a 2 year replacement guarantee haha

    That's why I've been considering Lotus CVs. Buy them once and hopefully be done with it. I just can't justify the cost

    Honestly, I beat on mine pretty hard and I've never had an issue. They're just rebuilt OEM's. Dylan explained it as putting in a higher amperage fuse. Lotus Cv's would be say a 200 amp fuse, oem would be 100 and autozone would be 70 ish. You just have to guess at what amount of current your diff will grenade. Most say it will be below 200, in which case would you rather replace a CV (which is like 30 minutes on a trail) or a diff.

    Not too noticeable in my opinion. If you didn't point it out, I doubt I would have even noticed.

    Looks good!

    High-centered on the gas tank skid. There's a giant puddle of water at the bottom, so my tires didn't have any traction to gain momentum. A jeep that was locked front and rear on 35's tried it next and didn't even get as far as I did. Obviously it's a steeper waterfall than it appears.

    I almost tried it in 2nd gear in 4low instead of first, but I decided I didn't actually want to break anything haha

    Oh I'd do the same thing haha. One set of my Dually's were free and the others I got at a discount when buying the CBI brackets. Once I actually start buying lights again, eBay and Baja Designs will get all of my money.
