    Probably gonna run it anyway.

    Any thoughts on http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AAZ-66-5235/ as a trail spare, just to get home?

    Also thinking inner and outer tie rods, will one of each be alright?

    Searched and searched and cannot find a part number for the front drive shaft u-joints. Any help there would be appreciated.

    Ordered 4.56s, should eliminate the weak stock gears. Anyone have thoughts on my other post?

    Maybe call a dealer. They could give you the correct part number. Or look here.

    Those will work to get you home, I carry one with me. Saw one snap on the trail but that was giving it hell. Not sure on the u-joints.

    Hmm I don't know about some of those squeezes. I'm kinda nervous after dinging my passenger door on a local trail here trying to follow some rigs on 37s and 40s. :p

    Not the guy I was with but the first obstacle in this video was as far as I could make it. http://youtu.be/EZNL6pLyCGw Got my tires on top, slipped the door into the rocks on the left of the screen twice before we decided it wasn't happening. His 42s make it look easy.


    A better view of what fucked me up.
