Here is a truss made by Treks off-road equipment, formally TnT Customs. Like said previously however it does not go past the coil buckets. I would imagine it

So, any thought as to the D30 flex related to ARB leakage??

Yea, didn't you notice at Reiter? It would work sometimes, but if I got too flexed out, it would fail. Not a good thing since I would need it most in flexy situations I would assume. Thanks guys! :cheer:

Did you have the new diff cover on?

Which style ARB is it? the old two-piece style or one-piece?:eeek: I had the 8 lil bolts on my two piece work loose and cause a lot of damage before...:corn:

I never had an issue with leakage though... It just was an issue of the line going to the diff failing once...

You know, you are just asking for more snow? Everytime the Jeep is in your shop, we get a sh!t load of snow and I get stuck with the little car. Just saying...

Trussed will be cool. :awesomework: I know a good fabricator. :;

Maybe the housing is bent??? I had this problem and then found out the housing was bent forward on one side. Sucks!

Here is a truss off a guy on NAXJA.

The Trek's truss has a few problems, one the truss isn't connected to the pumpkin, two the truss doesn't extend past the coil buckets, and three the truss doesn't reinforce the knuckle. If I ever truss my 30 I will do it like the one I posted above, but for now my 30 is working fine.

35" KM2's on TR beadlocks, lockrite, 4.56 gears, and welded in U joints on stock shafts.
