I'm glad you've had luck with yours. I have friends and family that have had the opposite experiences. At least two had to replace their transmissions multiple times.

Nice XJ! I used to hate those things, but the more time goes on the more they look good to me. It's crazy that the prices on those once disposable Jeeps are skyrocketing.

Not surprised. I’ve seen jeepers stuck in grass. A lot jeeps wheelin around with open diffs and heavy bumpers on stock gearing.. and with drivers that don’t know what they’re doing.

Sorry to hear that. I’ve used and abused it for a year and still going. Many good reviews, I think that their customer service is very bad. Too bad you got a bad unit, as I said, it’s a bet.

Haha! Sand is challenging!! Definitely have to air down those tires and try not to get high centered. I had Detroit Trutracs on mine, which have helical gear limited slip . I never went on rock. Mostly sand, dirt, and mud. This gave ultimate traction in sand like your Subaru. My parents had 4 Subis. Love them. I also regeared to 5.56, so I barely needed gas to get over obstacles, which leads to tires not spinning, and crap breaking. In wet weather it was ridiculous. Usually stayed in 2wd unless things got bad.

Sorry Guys, against my better judgement I gave in to the temptations of $109.79 shipped for front and rear and guess what, the front even includes the SOA. Here r some pixies and will be testing against my TRX4 and Gen8 portals. Will keep u all posted. Eventhough it says cnc it looks casted stuffs.
Will update afterwards. Any suggestion pairing it with toyzuki v2? Pro?Cons? Gearing?
Thanks in advance.....
