      Love this rig. I think your next step should be a new rear axle and ditch the 35. It just sucks you put so much already into it

            leave the d35 until it explodes.

            I personally have seen a super 35 on 36's take some very heavy abuse and not break.......... yet. Hahahahaha.

            Great build man and at that first picture, Julie does not look happy
            No worries, I'm not actually back, I'm just reminiscing about the old days.

              Yes the deal with the d35 was, i thought i was going to stay on 33s but we all know how that goes..... so now im on 35s and have done hard trails such as tombstone,trail 5 hill climb (attempted), devils den, and other black rated trails and havnt exploded anything yet. So im going to keep running it till mass destruction......

                DEAR ROCK GODS,
                This mighty d35 needs your faith to make it through every day of its life, for the fear of snapping shafts and blowing spiders is a heavy weight to carry. Because of this we ask for you to please give this little d35 the strength of a d60, the courage to fight the hardest trails, and the power to bash any rocks that may get in its way.

                thank you

                AMEN
