    Well I just found out that I snapped the front (passenger-side) axle in addition to all the other damage. At least it wasn't the locker ($$$)! We should have the new axle tomorrow (coming from Denver) and, hopefully, I'll be running again by this weekend!

    I have to believe that the clutch plates in the TC had been going out for a while. The obstacle I probably broke on was the hardest thing I've done yet--off camber, steep, and loose. I had to bump it a couple of times and probably got the front wheels in the air spinning a little too fast. The front drive parts are about the size of a Dana 44 so a bit undersized for 33s maybe. We have tossed around several ideas for a SFA swap. The best seems to be a Rubicon front end which will probably be the most compatible with the QDII electronics.

    For mods like that I think you QD2 guys are at disadvantage with all that stuff. I have a pretty good off road shop here and he quoted me $6k for a SFA including all the rear end work to get a 6" lift. Seems doable at that price let us know what you guys find out.

    After the rear bumper is done, I think I'm about done with the mods and future cash will go into a buggy (and a trailer).

    I hear you! I will definately keep wheeling it (and using it to haul my buggy), but I know it's limits now and plan to build something else for the really hard stuff.
