I been running mine for awhile now. Got about 5k on it. No issues except the hum/vibe at 65. I swapped driveshafts with Sparky when I was up there a few weeks ago and it went away. So I have another one coming from CO. Hopefully it's not the SR pinion flange that's the problem. If it is, I bet them AZ boys probably have a few....
Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

I have run mine for almost 10k miles or so. No problems. The disc brakes are great. I just started driving my old gen1, the blue one, last week. The disc brakes are better. After seeing how far the tires stick out stock, I want to add spacers to the front of the black truck. I still have not installed the locker. I have not been wheeling in almost a year and a half.
I still want a FZJ 80.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

did you swap your Pvalve from the donor truck? I left the 89 in and the braking couldnt be better. After driving the raider over the weekend, I think I need to axle swap that too.

Nope. The only thing I did was put a new hose and bolt it to the 95 axle. Works great. I want some gen2 front brakes. Maybe both A-arms too. Maybe the whole front end too. I need more money and a donor truck.
