    ARB problems?

    Yep, having six states check it out, whom installed it back in May of 07, hopefully its something simple. I also have the ARB for the front to be installed. Does anyone around town or six states have the o-ring's in stock? I'd hate to have to wait a week or 2 just to get the o-rings.

    ARB problems?

    Gear oil has been coming out of the breather so i'm sure its the O rings. It has only been in the axle for 10 months, been wheeling a hand full of times and it was driven occasionally on the road. I would think after spending so much on a locker it would at least last longer than 10-11 months. . .

    Tires for my ZJ

    Rattlesnake was extreme fun on Sunday, very icy however so didn't really get to test the new tires as much as i'd have liked to but overall I am quite happy with them thus far. Cant wait to use them in mud and on the rocks when its not a skating rink.

    2007 Dodge 2500 CTD question

    Until I can afford a custom made gooseneck this is how it has to be, the problem is finding a drop hitch that has more than a 5000lb rating, the Pintlehook has a 13k rating and 1500lb tongue rating which is more than i'l lever need, I am happy with my purchase.

    2007 Dodge 2500 CTD question

    Most of the adjustable aluminum hitches I found have at most a 10" drop, not gonna cut it. I found a 13" adjustable Pintlehook ball mount, so I bought that, along with a Pintlehook & 2" ball combo, rated at 16,000 lbs so thats the route I went if any one cares.
