    Yeah superior axle and gear axles, longfield ujoints. Only 19 spline outers though. Haven't wheeled with the weight of the exo but it another #150 wont kill me. I romp the fuck out of it as is no problems yet. Broken rear DS ujoint only
























    And leaking steering box, blown shocks, leaking driver axle seal, rusted hubs, draglink/tie rod rubbing on eachother as well as the pitman arm. And yeah... :D

    Well that depends on your definition of "built". Armored...maybe. Built...no way. There is much more to a build than new axles and a cage. :two cents:

    not hating...just humbling...remember you dont even have a spare and cant even air up a tire...

    Always loved them. I havent really liked my MTR's and loved my BFG AT's. Can't really explain why. I liked that I could get the 37 in a 12.5 since I didnt want to be any wider than I am now.

    Didnt want to be too aggressive either since I drive uber amounts of miles to make events, so street drivability is a big factor for me. THe MTR's were loud and hard.

    Ordered four from one place and one from another just to get all five by next weekend for a run...but unfortunately I wont have enough time to "clearance" things the way I want so I may run my MTR's next weekend at Wellsville.

    On another note...when I took my shaft in to get balanced the carrier bearing was still kinda stiff.

    The guy gave me a little tip: When driving the bearing back on with the yoke, the dust seals on the shaft and yoke actually dig into the rubber of the bearing. Put some grease on the inside of the dust seals to be sure that they dont grab the rubber. Otherwise the rubber will spin in the bearing mount instead of the bearing spinning. This melts the rubber and then the bearing needs to be replaced again. Apparently the dust seals need to wear into the rubber portion.

    He was able to get some spray lube into that area when it was on the balancer and get the bearing spinning, instead of the rubber.

    Compressor is installed, swapped to 85/105 psi pressure switch as well. Gotta pack tools, gear, and food. I wouldnt stay anywhere besides the campground with the group, it will end up being a PITA. Last time they left camp and headed straight for the trails. Hopefully there will be some good raffle prizes since the group wont be too big. I am thinking around 10 rigs maybe.
