hahaha yeah spike thats all you buddy... they are posted one under the other... and as for the jeeps breaking down they were both heavily modified, i think one had some steering issues before we even made it to the trail head and the other blew a front diff in the first big mudhole, but i think he was running dana 44's...

and yeah my tires rub at full steering lock, so i just dont turn that far, i have the rovertym 2" hd springs with OME long travel shocks, and no rear sway bar, when the back flexes out the tires rub back there i just havent gotten around to trimming the fenders...

the YJ with flat fenders looks like it had a weak a** dana30 front, dana44s are pretty tough and new re-designed ones are even tougher.

btw, cool videos. I like the bridge crossing.

As I was working today I came upon a Wrangler with a small oil trail behind it and then his driveshaft laying on the ground.
Appariantly Jeep does not use a slip joint on the friveshaft like Rover does and when his u-joints broke his driveshaft slipped right off the output shaft on his t-case.
