I guess I should Clarify by saying, in Pennsylvania, that said Jeep, if they were too put full width axles would never pass inspection....... and if it did the Police would have a blast writing tickets for it, and pulling the inspectors liscense.

No, I understood what you were saying. I made the comment because "kids with $10k dreams and $10 budgets who wont listen to a thing anyone says" is a weekly norm around here.
We just deal with it and do our best to avoid the banhammer.

Know what else I hate??? Another Cat I work with is building a TJ, But he is a cheap a$$, and has a 9" and a 44 outta a 78 F-150 that he is gonna put under it. He told me that havin them axles cut too fit will be cheaper than finding old Scout, or early bronco axles for under it. He thinks he can just cut them with a cutoff wheel and it will work.
Know what else I hate?? One of my friends blew his head off today. If thats not bad enough, the 2 kid's he claimed he loved, DONT HAVE A DADDY NOW! What a dipstick.

~ rough wms to wms on a D30 is 60" and 65" on a D44 from a 79 F150. You can make up 2.5" on each side no problem with the right rims and/or flares.

I hate 3 hours of sleep.
Guy from MT came to get my Dads Bronco. He forgot anoutnthe time change from here to there, so showed up around 6:45(my bed time) looked ober the Bronco, drove it, said he would take it, exchanged $ and title, he mentioned "its more work than I expected" and left.
I get to bed, than the Dogs go crazy. Its the guy at the door. He says he dicided he didn't want it, gave him his $, got the title back, he parked it back in front of the garage. I got to sleep around 9pm.
Here's the. Kicker, guy never asked for more pictures, he talked to my Dad on the phone about it, and he drove 5 hours to come and get it.
I don't know what he expected For a $2500 Bronco that's been off rooaded for 10 years.
The body is shot, and it needs a steering box. Other than that its ready to go.
It has a $500 adaptor for the NP435 to D20, a $1000 in the front axle, $500 in the rear, motor was new 3 years ago, and who knows how much $ in the 38.5x15x15 boggers under it. Its a rtr off road rig n rather cheap. Its not perfect by any means. It just pisses me off. If he didn't want it from the get go, say so. I. Thought 2500 is a fair price. I guess I was wrong.

I know OF a guy who just did that (a friend-of-a-friend).
I guess this guy didn't have any really big problems just drank a little too much/too often and leaned toward a depressed state in life.
No financial or family problems anybody knew about.
