wheel smart, and you're stuff will last.  You can still go big and wheel smart.  Some people think that as soon as you start doing crazy stuff, you're going to break stuff, but thats not true.  If you think about what you're doing, follow the basic rules (esp. with IFS) and choose your lines wisely, you'll do fine.  Almost everytime I've broken stuff, its been because I did something I knew I shouldn't, and something popped.  Stuff has been breaking more in recent wheeling trips, but I believe that simply has to do with the age of the components, and the stress that has been put on them since I've owned  the truck.  I originally had 37"s on mine, and would have had no problem getting them again, but I couldn't afford them at the time, so I dropped down to 35"s.  I've broken more stuff on 35"s than I did on 37"s.

Besides, in this sport, you're probably going to break something eventually, thats the nature of the beast.  Murphy rides with us all the time, and its only a matter of time before he wakes up. 

I'm betting he's jumped it a few times, huh? 

exactly.
im not to easy on my and nothing as broken.
besides a tranny that was neglected by the previous owner... who let the oil get too low a few times and it wore the shaft weird.
