Yep, you're right and I've been thinking a lot about that.

My goal is to have worry-free wheeling. I often wheel with the kiddies or the missus (and I'm also not too savvy with the mechanicals) so removing/replacing shafts/u-joints on the trail is something I really don't want to do. So I want my D30 to be built above and beyond whatever I put it through - within reason. So if anything, I don't intend to change how I wheel - I just want to reduce the probabilty of breaking something.

My "logic" is that I'm running 4.88s with relatively light (and under-sized) KM2s, so my weak point (the R&P) should be more than capable of handling the stresses that I might subject it too. In other words, I would only find my weak point if I really take the piss out of it.

Anyways, that's the logic. Best keep your eyes out for some slightly used RCVs shafts at the end of the season when my logic has gone out of the window

 

Tires are in

The rest of the parts are still on trucks all over the country

 

I saw your tires and rims today Bruce as well as Waynes Toyos They both look sweet, nice rim choice. Looks like Im going with 37 toyos. Everything else seems to be backordered in that size for weeks. Didnt want to spend that much but oh well. Lift arrived today and I must say the RK stuff is beefy. Hopefully everything will be installed next weekend.

 

I think when I do mine I will be going with Pitbull Rockers. Just trying to decide if I can live with bias or go with radial. A lot cheaper regardless and they are great tires.

 

when you doing all your build? and arent you in NYC right now?

 

Should be in the new year sometime. Don't know an end date for me in Afghanistan as of yet.
Actually in PA at the moment. Spent the day shopping across America. Lol. They have Internet down here steve

 

shopping across country=Gay.

 

I have nothing else ordered. Just enjoying the new lift, shafts and front locker. now I have time to think of whats next. Maybe duel battery system and custom front seats. Ride is pretty sweat. Got to love a long arm

 

My toyos are in. Everything being installed this Saturday.

 

did you end up ordering wheel spacers?
