hokay so. the list: 1- new xmember/tcase skid- DONE $200 bucks shipped on a used Aw4/242 bellypan from the realness of canon city, CO NEEDs, in a basic order, 1-5 are all interchangeable as they all need to be done ASAP: 1- weld the exhaust. trying to find someone local to do it for cheap 2- few small brake/breather parts for the 44 & a lubelocker gasket 3- new axle u-bolts 4- DS u-joint straps 5- battery/alternator  maybe upgrade the wires at the same time since im gonna be pulling them off anyway 6- REAR SHOCKS. the e-brocks i got from will are too short  gotta unbolt the one half working shock on there, setup my DPG bumpstop plates and then measure. 7- adjustable flex uppers 8- front shocks, i want 5150s. im pretty sure the 8" ones are perfect. 9- limiting straps for the front. mounting from the swaybar mount on the axle so somewhere. probably a bumper/tie in bolt. 10- rigidco rear bumper/tire carrier 11- 3/4" boomerang shackle to counter added weight 12- riddler D30 cover (not a huge priority as my full face guard is holding up pretty well) 13- OBA with a nice pump and probably an old fireman's air tank for well, a tank. can get that for free from nicole's dad somewhere in there the D30 is going in. its done, just gotta get home one weekend and do the thing. the D44 is a touch longer than the 8.25 so my DS is currently sticking out from the tcase just as much as it did stock. i still have vibes but this confirms that my 30 is fuct and it wasnt the case/ds which is what i thought. front DS is new and rebuilt as of last year. in another 200 miles or so the fluid is getting changed in the 44 and the ruffstuff cover i have is going on. i think ive pretty much settled on the fact that im done wheeling til 09. i miss having the few hundred bucks in my account to blow when a good deal pops up, and not having to think about whether or not i can afford to go out to eat a couple times a week. the 2-300 bucks per weekend for RC just isnt worth it to me anymore. its all the same terrain ive run the last couple times ive been there. tis all for meow.  |

i think its just a watse of money, mah coils only popped out because i had like 12" travel shocks with 2" springs
and who cares where the flex is, your tires will be just as planted no matter what end is doing the work, and you will lift tires more than if you left it alone

maybe upgrade the wires at the same time since im gonna be pulling them off anyway
gotta unbolt the one half working shock on there, setup my DPG bumpstop plates and then measure.
