    Well today was the first offroad test drive of new 456's and 8.8.
    the gearing is perfect on the highway and a HUGE improvement offroad.
    70 MPH = 2700 RPM with 33's in 5th OD. per GPS
    I ended up going with a Detroit in the rear and ARB with 30 spline hardend axles up front. I am quite satified with the Detroit, it is no problem on the pavement.
    The only issue I have is the driveline collar rubbing on the muffler when the tire is fully stuft into the fenderwell. A new shorter muffler will fix this soon. A SYE is in the future, but does not seem to be needed as there is no vibration at any speed. I still need to get air to the front ARB. The disc brakes work great too.

    This is without a doubt the best mod to my JEEP so far. Many thanks to JPyj for hooking me up with a GREAT deal at Hoopers rearend Exchange. Hoopers did everything I trailered my jeep in and drove it home the next day.

        I will not be able to make it to TDS as I will be taking my son to Laughlin for his 21st birthday. You guys take it easy on your jeeps so we can get out on the trails soon.
