Got my tires today. The front shock is 1.5" overextended from ride height so it will be that much lower.

I spy a red YJ on a trailer from my apartment window :flipoff2: Looks good. Hope to see it wheeling soon.

I need some opinions guys. Would you go ahead and set up full hydro and run just a normal set of upgraded shafts or would you just go with the RCV shafts and do steering later?

Can you compromise? Assist steering and upgraded shafts?

I imagine those tires are not all that easy to turn, have you wheeled with them yet? I was hoping to get away without any hydro steering on my rig initially.

Upgrade steering first. Even a standard set of shafts will be pretty stout. However, your stock steering won't be up to the task of turning those tires. Mine struggles enough with 35" tires.
I feel like a hundred bucks...

Also got my shafts in too. I highly recommend ordering from East Coast Gear Supply. Ordered them yesterday and they are at my door this afternoon.

If anyone gets bored this weekend and feels like learning to bend some tube hit me up. I plan on building my cage and any help would be much obliged (there will of course be beer to be drank) :beer:

Thanks Will, Jake, Alec, and Peter for helping me some this weekend. My cage isn't finished yet but it should be done by Tuesday I'm hoping.
