    Sup fellas took a break for a while this summer to do a little RnR and regroup. How's everyone doing.
    @baldridge I got your package all set just have to get to the post office to send it. I get off work when they're closed so I have to find a good lunchbreak to do it.

    Nice, sound fun! I’m bout to go get my tires rebalanced. One of mine feels like it’s about to pop off the rim it’s so bad lol. I know it’s the tire because that’s the only link left in the chain that hasn’t been replaced lol

    I just ordered my 37s they're at the shop waiting for me. I'll have them installed soon, there are a few other things I need to take care first.

    I’m probably at least a couple years out before I can convert my truck to full on rock crawl but then again I’ll probably end up having a kid so that’ll probably get delayed lol I really just want to get another camping vehicle but don’t want to give up the Corolla because of the gas mileage lol

    Nice and you can get 4:1 gearsets for them. Have you seen what midnight is starting to do with them and the venerable 205?

    Yeah I seen what they're doing but I don't really understand why you would need that case when the original Dana 300s are just about indestructible. I'm going 4:1 I got a guy in Missouri building me a call box and adapter to go in front of it and the box I'm using in front of it I can go 4:1 also

    It's 12 pounds lighter and the case is a little bigger due to the thickness of the aluminum. I can't see me spending $1699 for it when almost no one is having any issues with the Dana case. It's pretty but that's a chuck of money for very little benefit. That with a regear and you getting in Atles transfer case money.

    Pretty happy with the flex. I’m gonna take about .25 off bumps to get that last little bit before arm binds. Overall I’m satisfied with it. Drove smoother Offroad at a higher tire pressure than my mid travel setup! Pics never show the reality lol
    Cv could handle a little more droop but guess I would have to space my coil down for that cause it’s strapped about .4 inches from bottoming out to account for strap stretch
