Well after a few off-road trips, in the snow, with my current setup of 4.10 gears and limited slip both front & rear, I realized that I do need a locker or two. I finally ordered an ARB for the rear and 4.56 gears for both front & rear. I, Also, odered some OX U-joints for the front axles.

The OX U-joints are real cool and just as beefy as the CTM's. And they are about $40-$80 cheaper than the CTM's, and more readlily available.

Also, found out that ARB is coming out with several new units in mid summer. They finally realized that there is a need for larger axles for the Dana 44's up front. From what I heard from ARB, is that they are coming out with 33 spline and 35 spline ARB's along with their current stock 30 spline axle ARB units.

And since I had installed an Atlas II transfer case with 3.8 low range and a KluneV under-drive unit with 2.7 low range. into my Bronco, I'm planning on ordering at least the 33 splined ARB when they come out. Then I will also have to order the 35 spline axles to accomedate it. Ya, I know, right now the weakest link for the front is the U-joints up front. Same thing with the axles. But, once I have these new OX U-Joints and a 33 or 35 splined ARB and axles to match, I don't see any problems. Considering the fact that I DON'T jump or ABUSE my rig to the point of destruction, and that fact that this my only running vehicle for the time being.

 

That's cool!!! I would like to install an ARB in the front D44 TTB, but would like to strengthen the parts as much as possible. Torn between doing that and an SAS.

 

That's why I waited to get the ARB for the front. As much as I want one yesterday or sooner, I'll wait until the new 33 & 35 spline ARB comes out.
