My truck is great for the trails I do. I'm sure the truck can still go where i can't. But parts avalibility is really starting to limit it. Just getting a tie rod end is becoming frusturating. Let alone a cv shaft or parts for my steering box. I've lost most of a season of wheeling and I think I'm going crazy. I mean c'mon I even bought a 2wd D50 just to slam. On a side note urban wheeling is hilarious.

What I'm saying is there are many reasons for buying a torch and bigger welder. Mine are not because I out wheel my truck and put it in situations it can't perform in. Its because its really not cost effective to go to the states to buy a cv shaft and some seals. If I could get parts localy I don't know if I would change a thing. Also I'm a bit of a sissy when it comes to really cutting up something. So rigs like Landraiders are great insperation so please keep it up.

And yes I do belive I will be selling my 2.85's if the 231 works out. Is doing a SYE worth it? My samuri is like that and its nice be able to diconnect the drive shaft without losing fluid but is it worth it?

Thanks again for everyones input and information. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
