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

I snagged an X-Jack a few years back for a good price with a quickdraw...but three minutes has got to be a new record. Especially for a set of JK axles.

You gonna truss the front?
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

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

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.
