would go 8.8 but I have heard a few bad things and figure why not run the direct swap.

Just curious. What bad things have you heard about the 8.8?

 

[XJfreakHO]

Always heard bad things about C Clip axles, even thought he 8.8 is disc brake...

Read something about a weak housing but honestly cant remember.

Brothers jeep and mine in the back...

Pinion wedges needed replaced, Pin holding the leafs to the axle also needs replaced. Replaced the front pinion seal today, may or may not make it to URE this weekend, but will be there next weekend. Buddy is gonna tow it with his van (he races so its a tool van + lots of nice comforts lol, microwave, generator, etc...

New Gear oil front and rear, went and got all the fluids and a few extra U joints just incase. See what I can do though.

Need to get my hands on a xd9000i remote, rear bumper, driver tail light, passenger parking light, and need to fix my hatch (not a priority) trying to make a run to DH this week. Will be putting blocks on the rear to level it out, already has a shackle so just do blocks for temporary.

Thanks, it definatly has alot of potential but I found something I am a little more interested in, if I miss out on it, fine, if I am able to get it, I will jump through hoops, just need cash to do so.
