Larry, I'm suprised you didn't post the picture of your RR bring my 90 back on it's wheels :D

Nadim, looks good bro. Where is your truck now? I'm planning to run the Rover Track super CV's (also knows as Bobby longs) in the back of my hybrid with 39.5's.

Hey Dan, in those pictures you posted which one is your truck?

None of them. This was mine at one time, but it was sold to one of my friends and a lot has changed....I really would not even call it the same truck, as it was rolled, the cab was replaced, the fi 4 cyl has been sawpped out for a v6, the locrights were swapped for E-lockers, and he went from the 27 spline longs to the 30 to a 14 bolt and a 60.

34's thats it? How about 37's on stock drivetrain doing Behind the Rocks, Carnage Canyon, Spring Creek, and Poison Spider w/o by passing :D
When you run big tires and start doing hard core trails something will break. I ran D60 35 spline on my D90. Now the axle didn't break but I broke a Tom Woods CV drive shaft. I didn't break a u-joint I broke the CV it self in half :eek: I left people speechless.
Now I'm building a the Toy hybrid with rear steer, let's see how long these will hold.

Yeah 34s is it, But the point was that people were like OHH MY GOD NOOOOO!! I was like YEAHH ok.. THEy did fine OH and By the way I did no by passes either, Nothing broke but my SHitty roto, Now its a ujoint shaft, and I was running 12 lbs of air... Now IM getting ready to swap in 2 weeks 5 inch springs 35 12.5 mtrs on 15 ecr rims. The hydraboost brakes are still working like a champ too!

For the record I "think" you are the only person to ever break one of Keiths axles? At least a few months ago this was the case.


And your putting rear steer on that truck? Get it running I need a running mate for the hard trails in Colorado.

Nope, i never broke Keith's 35 spline axles. In fact no body broke his 35 yet. I broke my drive shaft on Chinaman bouncing the 90. The only part I was able to break was his CV stub shaft on Carnage at the water fall when I decided to floor it and wait to see what happens.

I can get my truck done sooner if we tube it, no body. Read my post on the SS forum.

So what are you running with your 34's? People here in Va are breaking shit left and right with 34's and they are using HD parts.

I'll be out in Co in 2 months so I can't wait to wheel with you guys and see how long shit lasts.

front is stock with a tt, but the rear is a detroit with ROVERTRACKS HD axles.. I think one of the reasons is that I have the 12.50s on stock rims so my turning radius SUCKS!! therfore it doesnt let me get extreme angls on my CVs, DUnno maybe?? anyways Ive had them on since OCt, and the only thin that has broken has been my ROTO, now its been reborn into a ujoint. When you moving to colorado again??
