BTW.. That rear end blew because it's a D35 and that's what they do when you try and power your way up something in 2WD..

Yeah after watching the vid.. It's not unexpected.. Chances are though there were already some stress fractures in it and that was just the last straw..

I know that pink Jeep from somewhere.. Friend of a Friend on Facebook prolly..

My bad.. I've had my head inside a Rubi 44 all day and my mind wasn't seeing all the parts it was expecting..

Regardless, that's the price we pay to play with these things the way we do.. We build them up well beyond what they were desgined to be built and then beat the crap out of them..

If you look at Yukon's Install manual, the recommended largest tire for a D44 is only 34" and that's not under the extremes we push them to..

I know she's your friend and I'm not saying girls can't wheel but she's just like my jackass friend Brandon he has no idea what the brake pedal is all he's worried about is the skinny pedal 4 wheeling is about angles, precision, physics not Loud music and speed when she figures that out she will be 10x better stop spending money on things and painting them pink and invest in some pro rock housings and a beefy carrier #jeep on

If I was a Jeep (or anything besides a sippy cup) painted pink, I'd create any excuse I could to get back in a garage where no one could see me.
