I love the cases. The stock 2.28 in front is actually pretty slow. I didn't want to put too much stress through the taco case with lower gears in the front. I have only heard of one case breaking and that was the 4wd part from hiting a rock. Mine is all protected though so I am not worried.
Built a bumper last weekend.
