How did the rear axle shafts look? Any sign of damage running heavy 37s for many miles, and offroad use? I know you are not rock hopping but curious how they are holding up.

They look good, I decided to put them back in for now, and I’ll swap them out later…

I’m excited to use 8th gear other than the occasional guest appearance downhill, downwind…. ?

Nice job! Is this your first DIY setting up gears? That's one job I'm still paranoid about although Shawn does take out some of the anxiety.

Thanks brother….Not my first time working on axles, but first time changing gear ratio……

Got my Artec axle trusses on today, along with the front gears….Will finish up tomorrow. When I bought my gears Marcus had Dana gears but only one Dana master install kit, it was for the rear, so I used a Yukon master kit for the front…. Absolutely no issues, actually Yukon supply’s a tube of RTV. So if you’re doing Dana gears and can’t get the master kit, don’t hesitate to use Yukon… I’m not worried about the FAD anymore…..Piece of mind, like when you installed your winch..:)
