tim says i have to brag about breaking 3 full sets of d35 shafts, a set of spiders, 2 auto hubs, and 2 jeep hubs... not to mention cracking the drivers side ttbeam, busting a sj radius arm and wasting two spindles from axle and hub breaks... and now i think i broke the pins on the drivers side of my lock-rite.. i've had that pumpkin off way too many times...


i'm not proud tim, i'm pissed off.

Good thing your lockright has a lifetime warranty. I am about to start chasing the warn warranty on the hubs.

You know, I will be selling my front locker soon. You interested in it?

Traction bar
rebuild front end

fix fuel leaks on crew cab
install new winch
ect...

Yea, remember his last story about having to be towed home and having to wait like four hours? Having a tow rig and trailer is now a not cool thing?

Weak dude.:thefinger:
