Is a Tuff Country bracket? I have those and they seemed pretty beefy to me..

Sunk, I thought you were more literate than that.......
Not only did I say 'home brew lift', my sig says 'fabbed'. That is my brainchild that I broke. Not a tuffcountry one. Mine is getting taken off and seriously thickened.

As for your video.....looks like a blast. Unfortunately you never get the feeling of angles in video or pictures. I'll bet that was a lot steeper than it looked.

Ya, watching it after it feel kinda silly saying that it felt steep. But, it did, I was beginning to slid out of the seat. I suppose it a good way to 'measure' it without measuring it is to see how you would feel if it was a side hill instead of a straight hill. If it was a sidehill, I would have been clamping down of my seat with my ________. Thank goodness it was straight.

Oops, my bad.. I saw the homebrew part, I just wasn't sure if pieced together your lift.. Those look good.

evan, pull your shafts and look at the splines.



i destroyed shafts at all points even open. spiders were getting more common in the last days of my 35 as well.


once i went to 33 and larger tires, i can count on one hand the intentional wheelin trips i have made that i did not bust something in the front axle. but they are cheap to get stuff for in my case and ridiculously easy to work on.


every thrashin adds up.


my thoughts are collect shafts ect and go crazy.

If any of you have wheeled with Bobby, you would know that once he sets his mind to clearing an obsticle he will thrash the life out of his rig until he makes it, or it has to be towed to the trailer....

This is the same guy that was repairing brackets at the campground at 6:00am so he could wheel it for the second day.

I'm running 33's and locked, only blown apart a couple hubs and a shaft. If you check everything after each trip and don't cut corners on parts, you'll be find. (carry extra axle's and hubs)

I've gathered that about bobby. I appreciate his style and input, and althought I feel i'm more serious than many peeps about wheeling, I'm not as hardcore as him.

I'm going to run with these 36's for now and drive how I want and we'll see how it goes. My goal for this thing is 40's, heck, why not 42's. But those ambitions will have to wait until I poach myself a 60.
