Post by: Vinman on September 12, 2014, 09:26:34 PM: Picked up a set of JK Rubicon axles yesterday that were on Kijiji for a whoppin' three minutes before I was on the phone with the seller. ;D

You gonna truss the front?

I picked up some sleeves and inner knuckle braces from Broken Axle already and will truss both axles as well.

Post by: w squared on September 14, 2014, 08:09:52 PM: I was mostly thinking the front since the JK front D44 has such a small tube. How big are you gonna go that you're planning on trussing the rear too?

Sticking with 35's but will be triangulating the rear uppers which will require a truss or at least a bridge for the upper mounts.

A third? Fatherhood has made you weak Johnny! Back in the day you wouldn't have made more than a quarter of Vince's price.

Seller should have jumped on that 5 grand, especially since he said he really needs his garage space back.
