Thank you. And understandable, that's a very nice clean rig. Mine used to be that clean when I first got it.

Its piece of mind as well, I know that I won't be breaking when I'm out on the trails. I figured I wouldn't skimp with anything when I was building the front axle, because I didn't want to have to do anything over.

Agree and you got my vote. I'm a fan of over built clean rigs, they won't break down as often when the zombies attack. :gee:

Begster got my vote. Very nice rig...

All the other rigs look great but I friggin love the look of John's wife's rig I had to vote for it. I'm partial to moss green XJs on 31's anyways!
