Terrafirma suspension kit Big Bore +2 $1150
Recon Transfer case 1.410 ratio $720

Spot lights $48
9 x service (oil, filters) @ $80 per service $720

[QUOTE=CUpgt;404647]A single joint shaft is stronger. My friends that wheel real real real hard in buggies wont touch DC shafts. They you high angle custom shafts. The thing you have to consider is pinion angle.

Decided to go on an adventure from one side of the state to the other today. 220 mile trip. The rover did real well on fuel and drive ability. Amazing how I can only get about 11-12 mpg around town but get 17-18mpg on the high way. And if I'm pulling a small trailer I get 19-20mpg. Maybe my math is off, or them friggin traffic lights are excessively to long. Lol anyways was a good day. Got to see a few gators up close and personal as well. Sunday drives are always a good way to wind down the weekend.
