On the road it was a little shaky doing about 65, some contact between the muffler and drive shaft, the transfer case is leaking pretty bad, so nothing to major everything will get fixed this upcoming weak. Off road the tires where really sticky i had awesome traction the whole time, it climbed everything i put in front of it, hockey puck bump stops came apart i guess the the JB weld didn't really work for that, so since the bump stops failed i had the front tires really getting into the fender, i don't plan on trimming any more ill just get correct bump stops and that should fix it. So over all i was really happy with the performance. I'm gonna start looking a lot more for a trailer bc it will be a rough drive all the way up to Mass. or further to go wheeling but until i find something ill just drive the beast who knows maybe once i fix a few things it will be a little better on the road.

My buddy is giving me another used flowmaster 40 off his mustang gt, so if my old one doesn't work you can have this one. Also did you think of putting some big washers on top of the hockey pucks?

So I take it that we didn't put the transfer case back together very well. At least you got to get it out on the trail and test the suspension with the new tires and see how it would handle.
