If you listen closely you can hear the front axle whimpering.........

They look huge. What size?

We should start a pool. What time will the axles break at upcoming Rush trip

TJ flares were ordered last night. They open up a TON of room. I don't know if I'll get them on before Rush, or to cover the carnage after!

They do look good on it.

Oh, it's fine for now. We'll see what happens when I actually put in in 4wd.

Tony's old half-worn 37s. Only actually measure a little over 35 inches...

Yeah, I know! My "other" club was all impressed cause they look cool. I knew this crowd would be more concerned with how they'll work...

I justified it to myself like this: I beat the living tar out of my rig on 35s, full throttle, tires in the air kind of crap. The only axle breakage I've seen were old crusty ujoints that should have been replaced anyway. I've never broken an otherwise good shaft.

So, my thinking goes, if I can try to wheel it a little gentler on these (that are really only 35" anyway) it shouldn't be too much worse on it than the beatings it has survived.

I mean, right? Ha!

(And yes, I'll still be carrying shafts and stubs, and I'm certainly not getting rid of my 35s yet, in case I have to retreat!)
