Your rig looks very capable, I was wondering, what size pinion do you use, is it stock R2 8t pinion?

yes i use the stock 8 tooth pinion.. it is very capable but i am always looking to improve its capabilities. i just adjusted the rear pinion angle about a half hour ago this way the driveshaft has the same angle as the rear HC links.. now i will be able to clear top of rocks better. and 90 degree breakovers much better than i could.

Nice looking build, I'm happy to hear it's working good for you. Have you had any problems with the tires pulling out of the wheels with only 4 screws in each ring? |

thanks for the complment bender, and to answer your question: i did one time but that is because i forgot to tighten them all down on one side  .. but no not really. they work great like this and its alot easier than having 16 per wheel. haha

Cool rigs. Just one question how do you bend the lower links for more clearence. Or do you just buy them that way.

Good looking 3 you got there Jeff. I'm curious how much clearance do you have under your skidplate? Ours have 3 5/8" clearance. Looks like you may be close.Brad, I only ran 4 screws per side as well, when I ran those rims, never had an issue, even with mashers.  |
