Why would I count anything? I'm not here pretending to know everything to make a perfect & indestructible rig. I can only rely on what the pros and the guys doing the build recommend. If it breaks I will replace. That's all I can do. I do appreciate your input considering you have prob forgotten more than I know about off roading. This is my first jeep and I'm building the crap out of it and I will see what happens.

This sums it up. Ive built other custom projects and it usually turns into a money pit.

He's right about light wheeling down there. Destin is a FLAT beach town (no driving on the beach either). As you go to areas you can wheel you have to travel a ways on 98 or up 85, lots of asphalt first then RED CLAY CRAP. I think they took the only two rocks in Florida out to Mississippi back in the 50's or 60's (long before my time) cause I never saw anything but sand, sea grass, pine trees and miniture rattle snakes there.

yup, that's me, a n00b lunatic behind the wheel.

i would be grateful if you could please show us some pics other than your pretty driveway shot and or videos of you wheeling your 38's on a dana 28 and 44's on a dana 44 so that i can learn how to drive from such a great wheeling master like yourself.
