Brian, here is a link to Crossed Up - nice stuff but $$$$. As I said, the super 30 & 35 work real well, have not snapped an axle in either. We upgraded to Currie U joints and they hold up real well also. Have done a lot of tough trails the way it is rigged right now. http://www.crossedupoffroad.com/ Mel ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Casteel To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 1:14 PM Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Geocache/4X4 trip I hear ya. Up here, picking up a 14-bolt rear is cake, for example. The yard down the road from me has one for $75 geared to 4.10 right now. A ford D60 is a little tougher to come by, but would let me still use an NP231 if I wanted as it's a left-side pumpkin. A guy in our local club is picking up a gusseted housing for the rear on his Bronco for $300. He hit so hard on a jump that his internals are fine, but the diff tube is bent now.

I may build another Cherokee in the future, one of our members (Crossed Up Off Road) builds some real nice housings and upgrades, I have been giving that some thought if I hit the lottery. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Casteel To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 1:04 PM Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Geocache/4X4 trip I just re-read how you Super'd both front/rear axles. Why not move up to full width or maybe a 9" rear and a D44 up front? Curiosity has me.

We have a Cherokee that has been on the roof once and have done every extreme trail in the area. We were on Extreme 4X4 last year when they did a feature about our club (Tucson Rough Riders) we ran Axle Alley with the film crew. Your Jeeps are show worthy compared to ours!!! My wife has a Jeep Liberty that we use for easy stuff, the Cherokee has a 4.5" lift, Detroit Locker in rear, ARB Locker in front, 4.56 gears, Super Dana 30 and Super Dana 35, 33" tires rock rails, winch etc. Here is a picture of me doing the "Firehole" on Upper Woodpecker. Come down and play some time.

Otherwise, we'd both be there. We've become Jeep snobs, having two in our garage. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/b_casteel/Project%20JEEP/Happy%20Family/100_1217.jpg Two years ago, but they rarely stay that clean. J Both have larger tires and more lift now. Oh, and dings are known to us as character. Just make sure to take a tire gauge, CO2 tank (with accessories) and air down to about 6lbs. Your kidneys will thank you for this, and the ride will be far more pleasant.

The off road miles would be around 18 and there are at least 4 caches to be found. I will be taking my Jeep Cherokee and have 2, maybe 3 - seats spoken for, I know of 2 other Jeeps that would like to go. I would like to keep the total of vehicles to around 6. This is a difficult 4X4 trail but with help we can get everyone through. You will most likely get some dings if you have a stock vehicle. Please respond if you have interest on making this trip, I have planned on Sunday June 23rd meeting in Catalina at Basha's (Oracle & Golder Ranch Rd) will travel south to north and I think that is the most scenic. You will need water and lunch as the trip should take about 5 hours depending on time spent looking for caches and any problems.
