After few to many of these I thought maybe I should go to some full width axles!

Started accumulating axles and parts last fall.
Scored (2) 1 ton Chevy 4x4 trucks really really cheap.

Gear setup (4:88's with ARB's) did as much as I felt comfortable with and then had a local help me set them up.
Pizza over works great!

You could just stop drinking beer while driving the Scrambler:eek: and stop trying to leap tall buildings in a single bound, no, widening the axles is a better idea, looks good!:thumbsup:

I don't drink on the trails, always save that for the days end!

A "few to many" was referring to me being upside so many times!
 
I know that you would never drink on the trails, I was just teasing you and your choice of "a few too many". Your work really does looks fantastic!
 
SWEET

LOOKIN good Jason. Can't wait to to see finished product and in person.
