r u goin 2 rock crawl it or mall crawl it?
i love the looks of it, but, the ifs has to go.
the sas is easier than it looks.
5.71's  :rofl2:  aren't the smartest idea either. i'd go 5.29 just to be safe.
either way i like it  :beerchug:

thanks for all the good words guys...i bought it as is from a good friend, but ya, he did build it to mall crawl....i'll be getting it dirty on the other hand, until i break something...then might go straight axle....who knows...it can climb and run stuff over pretty good as it sits tho

Nice rig dude!  Run the ifs for now,  then decide whether or not you'll really need to spend the cash for an sas!  Who cares what everybody says, mall crawler or not it's bad azz rig!

Agreed, run the ifs till you've surpassed it's limitations.  Don't just sas cause that's what everybody else is doing or cause they say to.  I'm sure your tires will get you through what the ifs alone would not.  I'd wheel it as is and see what it can do, but definately watch those 5.71s.
