[QUOTE="resharp001;4277708"]
Am I understanding this correctly that you are doing an axle swap, giving someone your 3.21 axles + cash and getting their 3.73 axles? If that is what is happening, man, I just don't think you're going to notice much difference and it's not going to be worthwhile. Are you maybe moving from a D30 to a D44 in the process and I just missed that?

You understood correctly. But I decided not to. A local shop gave me an amazing deal on throwing 3.73 in my axles instead of driving out there and doing the swap. The difference is fairly noticeable, but not a huge difference. I run lower rpms, and can maintain speed a lot easier. And I'm staying with a d30. Not going to put different axles underneath until I do tons.
Thanks on the name compliment!

Well it's been a while since I've gotten on here. I've added a set of 35in Goodyear Wrangler MTR's with some 15 in steelies, I added a Teraflex 2.5 budget boost I got for cheap, along with a brand new Superwinch Tigershark 9500s synthetic winch. I also got a rough country hybrid stubby bumper for $25, it was a little bent but after a little bit of hammering and bending and stuff it's almost perfect again. 
I'll have to get more pictures later if the bumper, apparently I don't have any on my phone.

I also added the JCR bottle opener, along with a ghetto, temporary license plate relocation until I decide upon who's tramp stamp I want to run. And I realize I don't have a license plate light, my jeep rarely gets driven at night, but I'll have a light next week so it's not a big deal.
