im gona put some stock flairs back on it to keep the cops off me for now
some day illhave money again and will be able to reaplace them
i sold the flairs .a set of tires that where gona go on it and a set of rock rails that i got for it a few months befor i got hurt ....
 
well since ive been laid up all winter the jeep hasnt moved much at all so the snow built up around it and i just didnt put it in the same spot it was so its half on dirt and the other half is siting on the snow lol
but to be honest i kinda like the looks with out the flairs but the flairs made it look cool from a mall crawler point of view lol...yea being broke sucks i guess it really is a jeep thing lolyea last month the docs informed me the spot i hurt in my back is in an area they can not operat on so basicly im stuck with the pain the reast of my life and am looking at disablity ..im goan fight for retraining in a new line of work that doesnt involve heavy lifting ..when i got hurt i was building houses
 
hey thats life man things will work out in the end they always do one thing for sure i would sell my arm befor i let the jeep its self go lol ill sell some bilng parts liek the flairs and stuff but the jeep will always be with me ....im working on insted of buying stuff just building my own with abuddy of mine he helped me with the front bumper and is gona help me with sliders tire carrier and a roof rack as well as other stuff ...so basicly insted of buying off the shelf stuff im gona build my own i kinda like the idea makes the jeep more mine ..cuz it willhave one of a kinda stuff on it ..

Thanks!

'94 H.O. AX-15, -231, Terra 2Low kit
HP D44 front, Detroit, 4.88, alloy shafts, superior joints
Ford 8.8 Rear, discs, Detroit, alloy shafts etc...
34" Interco Trxus Radials (best tire I've ever seen in the snow, btw...seeing as you're from AK)
all sorts of other stuff, too much to list really.

BTW, I beat the living snot out of my 27-spline 8.25 with a lock-rite in it for a few years with ZERO problems. Only replaced it for the discs (HUGE difference) and the 4.88's.

Anyway, nice rig again.

Is yours a 27 spline?

EDIT: No, it looks like your rig a 97+, which means it's a 29 spline. This is a better axle, but there's no cheap locker for it. It's a rough spot; no really good answer, IMHO.
