I have a bunch of parts I’ve purchased and either waiting to install or I’m waiting for it to be delivered.

EVO sway bar links didn’t last very long on-road. Replaced with MetalCloak quick disconnect version, hopefully these will last longer for driving around town.

Hey man, you've got a really sweet rig!! I see that you're replacing your driveshaft after you've had your lift on for a while...have you had any issues with the stock driveshafts?

I haven’t had any issues with the rear drive shaft. The front drive shaft is at its limit though with the rzeppa joint. When I got under my Jeep you could see it and I was afraid to flex too much off-road with it. With the rear drive shaft I just won’t have to worry about the carrier bearing anymore, since it will be one piece. Right now it’s in the shop having everything installed.

Thanks for the info buddy! I am considering changing over to the Evo 4.5 springs but I don't have enough in the budget yet to go with a new drive shaft.

Picked up my Gladiator from being worked on today. Unfortunately the shop forgot to install the RCV axle shafts, Reid Racing steering knuckles, Mishumoto trans cooler. So it will be having to go back in to have those installed next month.

Man do 4.88 gears make the Gladiator come back to life with acceleration. Now I get to see 7th and 8th gear again which is very nice. Just need to break the gears in for 500 miles.

Definitely following for feedback on those OX lockers. Looking to do the same myself at some point later this year or early next.

Dropped my truck back off to have the RCV axle shafts installed, Reid Racing steering knuckle and Mishumoto trans cooler. Also for them to fully weld the truss since it wasn’t done right.

Awesome build WI neighbor

I've read most of your posts about the ox locker cover issues you were having. Assuming everything is dialed in I think you have one of the toughest M210/M220 set ups out there. Excited to hear how they lock up and release on the trail.

Also, those are my favorite fenders to date. Are they quite a bit more narrow than stock, or is it the offset of the wheels, or both making the tires poke?

The fenders don’t really seem anymore narrow than stock but the tires are offset a bit. Never did bother to measure stock fenders vs the Fishbone off-road ones. They are my favorite fenders as well and I really wanted them because they are aluminum. Aluminum is very nice to have because of the lack of corrosion being in Wisconsin.

Everything is dialed in with the OX locker covers and lockers now and did my 500 mile break in and fluid change. But yes it is probably one of the beefiest m210 setups at least. The m220 axles could get upgraded axle shafts and that’s about it.

I’m probably not going to be taking it out on any trails now that I put it up for sale in the exchange though. But maybe I will.
