Looks much beefier then the D35.  The little D35 looks like it should be used a paper weight compaired to that axle.  ;D Did you add the ox locker or just install the cover?

Holy S@#t I cant believe that someone is still using a hi lift for work like that after what happened to me. I guess the story doesn't get around much anymore. Let me tell you all this my jaw still kills me to this day. Piece of advice take it from me, leave the hi lifts for emergencies and use a regular floor jack whenever possible. If you dont already know the story, I didn't get my name for nothing.

I got all hardcore today & took out all of my interior carpet. Smelled like used gear oil & was pretty worn anyway so i took it all out. Now it feels like a jeep.

I did that to mine last summer.  I like it.  I even pulled all of the drain plugs.  That way, when the snow on my boots melts, it just drains out.  I actually got the idea from One-eye, but haven't gone as far as he has yet.  He Rhino-lined the floor in his.

You're right about one thing...  It does feel more "jeep-like", doesn't it?   ;D

Probably, but I never really paid that much attention.  My carpet was all gear oiled and run down as well, so it really needed to go.
