my front disco are a pin that replaced the bolt that has a carta(sp?) key in it to keep them from coming out. i first had the tractor pins that have the flip over thing to keep them from coming out but the flip piece broke. it helps a lot to disconnect. i aint done any heavy wheeling but i've flexed it once or twice to see the difference. its worth it for sure.

how is your steering, it looks worse than mine? do you have any trouble with alignments or the tires looking like / / when you turn? like you are turning on the sidewall of the tire?

It actually drives awesome! I have never had it aligned. Because of all the stuff I do with it, I would have to get it aligned every other day... My tires turn straight, never had a problem........I'm not exactly sure what would cause yours to be that bad. :icon_confused:

I'm definitely gonna have to give the discos a shot, I am assuming you are talking about clevis pins.....

OK NOW, no need to make me feel any worse than I do about not having mud tires...........:bawling:

I am going nuts trying to raise funds to get me some more, these are actually really good tires & serve their purpose well, but I am used to all mud with big lugs!! I had to sell my brand new 33" Swampers about a year or so ago & I miss them dearly.:sad:

If I can get a certain Dana 35 for the front...(cough cough)...I am thinking of going with 35" Swampers............

By the way SVT, I will look for some 41s but I don't see too many 'round here......

Hopefully a 35 will be in the works for the front, then I can get Swampers back on to give 'er the look she so desperately needs!! :headbang:

midtnranger.....we need to hook up & hit some trails sometime...I know some good ones over by Winchester. I need to put a ride together soon & get the T.B. crew to come south, I just feel so inadequate without my mud tires..:bawling:

I am going to Woolys. We either go there or Windrock. Like to try Turkey Bay sometime. I used to live in Cadiz Ky, and we used to take our atv's there all the time.
