With the weight of this jeep, all the parts on it and a BL revolver motor, those plastic yokes on the drivelines are gonna break right away. You may want to get steel ones or put maxx shafts on it.
Ya, I was looking at that tonight. I am going to order some. Hope I can get them in time for Augusta. Can't wait to bolt that Hi-lift jack on there.

Ya it will be a puddle jumper but not a submarine. I want to be able to play in the puddles. But it will not be submerged. Unless I loss control at the Bullhole when I am close to the edge. Then at that point it really doesn't matter if it's water proofed or not.

Jason said there is some puddles. But nothing that you should need a snorkel for.

Thanks

Ya you will notice the led bezels in the back. I still need to mount the headlights. That's why there is no headlight decals. Will also have some rock lights under the rockers.
