we want pics first.. haha but the axles can handle at a certain size of tire and depending on how you drive. take it nice and slow and crawl every hard terrian you go, you should be ok, but if your like sum DUMMIES on this site launching hard terrian at about 5 rpm in second gear( just example) you might just break your front. Check you tube, theres a guy who broke it flying it up some rocks.

Our front axles are pretty solid, if you know what you are doing and what your truck is capable of. I have taken my truck to URE and Harlan without incident but I was careful with the skinny pedal when going over rocks. High RPMs, one wheel in the air then coming down=blown front diff. Check out the Southeast regional forum for when others are going to URE or post when you are going and maybe you can get others to join in the fun.

The axles should be good, the diff is what most worry about. I put my truck in 4hi, 1st gear and 6k rpms up sand dunes when it was stock and had no problems.

The front diff is not a D60HP by any means, but again, most people seem satisfied with it. There was a rash of blown ones a good long while ago (maybe a year now?) but I wheel the **** outta mine, and dont worry about it.

Went to uwharrie 2 weekends ago with a buddy. Maiden run for the truck!!! He started me out on Daniel which is one of the harder trails. Did great bounced it a little and a heavy foot. Nothing broken while wheeling until I pull out to air back up. Took out a mail box near the outpost!!! I guess I can wheel it harder now since the whole side is jacked.
