...which is why I haven't even bothered with anymore upgrades to the dirty-30 outside of ball-joints, C's, and nitro sleeves. The Fusion Hybrid is looking real good right now and I still get to keep my 5x5 TrailReady's....

Set of Yukons and master install kit was $250 with lifetime warranty and I have $100 in a used Aussie. That fusion axle isn't even in the same price realm, lol.

True. Every person has their "time vs. $" scale. Mine just happens to be on the "buy once, cry once because I don't want to keep having to fawkin deal with it" scale. Set it and forget it.

I'm getting around to be that way. I'm still young so I have the time and energy to deal with dumb shit at the moment. I certainly hope in the next couple years I'll be in a much more stable financial standpoint to where I won't be dealing with bullshit anymore lol.

Sounds like you need a set of rubber R&P's. LOL they don't break off. 4 sets it might be time to change something. Sheesh that's hard core.

Yes and positive. I've had both sets checked after break in by a family friend who has been dirt track racing/ building for 40 years.
