Well, not exactly much better than fully locked. :) Believe me, if I could get my hands on some 44s with ARBs I would certainly do it.

Ya, 44s would be good. Spooled, you say? Hmmmm....in the snow....

    Man, those are sweet.  Courtesy of a little 'accident' that happened a few weeks ago, I get to order some armor.  :)


    http://www.atozfabrication.com/images/YAFFY_SIDE_CLOSE_UP.jpg


    But once the check comes, I'm going to sink about $20 of it into actual materials and fab them myself with the help of a friend up here.  The big difference between the one in that image and the homebrew ones, is that ours will be secured to the body mount point, and they will extend as far under as possible (10" in from the rocker edge), and sit 1/2" below the door.  A portion of the front flare will go buh-bye, but it's all good.  The ones in the link unfortunately just mount to the rocker with the use of countersunk screws, which I don't really like.


    This might make you happy too.  Even though we only spent 30 minutes PER diff., I might be moving to spooled Dana-44s here very soon.  Already geared to 4.10, it would be a very worthwhile swap.  It all depends on whether or not I can barter for 'em.

      All right, since I teased you so unmercifully about your Jeep, here's a link to some cool parts for it to make it ...well, better. :)

            It's not the size of the engine...but the torque it produces.

              I can hear all four of those cylinders now.....brrrm....brrrmm....hurry up, Barbie! Ken's getting a sunburn!
              I like working on Jeeps though.  It's just like a truck only the parts are so small and light.  ::)

                    Not sweating..... that was just me poor attempt of being funny and rudely making my way into the conversation. I really do like my "cheap" Explorist 200, I just wish it had downloadable maps.... that's the only thing I don't like.... but the 8MB map that comes with it has been okay so far. And it appears to be pretty accurate.


                    As for the automobiles.... I'm a Dodge guy. Wouldn't trade it for anything.... not a jeep not a scout.... nothing.... I would, however, let you rescue me if I was stuck!


                    Anyway, thanks for the chat!

                      Don't sweat the wisecracks.  The Garmin vs. Magellan rivalry is similar to that of Chevy/Ford/Dodge or the Mac vs. PC.  I have my reasons, Steve has his reasons, and we can freely poke fun at each other in the name of...fun.  A friend of mine up here drives an International Scout as his off-road vehicle of choice.  I drive a Jeep.  Every single time I see him, there is a period of obligatory ridicule for vehicle choices, and life goes on.  :)  It took quite a bit for him to admit to me that he had to have a Jeep pull him out of the mud once.  But now that he has his MileMarker 12,000 lb winch, I'm sure he'll need to rescue me at some point in the near future.  My typical response is that Jeep is THE original, but went by the name Willy back in the day.  All others just followed their lead.  =)

                        Please tell me that's not true.... I just bought a Magellan..... : ( 
                        I like it though!
                        Next year I plan to buy a nice one like you speak of...... but right now im too poor.
