going to run 33's for now but once they wear out im thinking 34's or 35's, its more of an added security thing then an actual need.

I don’t know shit about heeps. But isn’t Randy running an 8.25? I think if it can stand up to that abuse you should be just fine.

Yea, he has the 8.25 and a abnormally large right foot

The 8.25 will stand up to 35s just fine. The only reasons I swapped mine for a Toy 8", were my diff was junk, and I needed a larger bolt pattern to match the front. Well, that, and Toy shit is far superior

now what would make you say a thing like that? lol

hey i saw that you are runnin 33's and im thinking about moving up tire size this summer. what gears do you have, and do you have any auto or manual?
thanks, trey.

finally got a locker for the rear axle and i love the thing.

did ya trim that c-clip?

nope it went right on with no problems

So is the powertrax an automatic locker that unlocks when you're turning, but is pretty much locked otherwise?

The problem is not getting it in; it's [potentially] having to take it out. Now I had to take mine out because I didn't get it aligned just perfect like Terry said and broke the active spacers a few months later. BUT, should you break an axle shaft and have to take it apart you might encounter the same situation I did. It's not the most common thin to happen, but it has happened; the c-clip manages to increase in diameter somehow and sometimes won't come out that slot........don't say I didn't warn ya before you put it in, sometimes being pro-active is the best fix.

This happened to me: http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=917883

10 hrs to get a c-clip out
