do you have tow points in the rear JIC? and i would suggest an aussie in the front axle as well, rocks and uneven terrain can put the axles in angles mud never does and make you slip if your open in the front, it will make a big difference. and make sure you have spare stuff (u joints, driveshaft, axleshafts, spare tire, etc) dont want to get out there and break and cant fix it...rocks are not as forgiving as mud :D

The only thing I am worried about keeping straight are the rear quarters until I get armor for them. :D

I stopped caring about body damage after Tellico (RIP), especially after the cables on gaurdrail tore a foot long gash in my bedside. My land yacht looked like the titanic!
