you offering zero interest personal loans?
He told me I could wheel it whenever I wanted... so I probably won't buy it now lol.
I will bring it to GMP some this summer to ease around the big rocks.

Nothing real fancy on the mount just some .75" steel with a gusset and a tube guard under it to protect the ram

Well while we talking about steering what's the best ram for a Rockwell. 2x10? Double ended? Some dumbass (me) got tires of fighting the stock tie rod trying to get it out and socket at work cut the tie rod with a torch. Just the lh end not the tie rod so was thinking double ended instead. Is high steer arms needed? Again wanted it behind the axle but looks like front for now unless I get Patrick to redo 250 doll hairs worth of mounts

That's just what iv heard. I haven't upgraded mine yet so I don't know first hand. But I do know a few people that have broken them and they didn't want to warranty the shaft

Rockwelloffroad shafts are some Indo-China import stuff. Looks like they have a great warranty (and looks like you'll need it!)
I've never heard of Ouverson warranty replacing any of their 16 spline shafts (I thought they specifically stated no warranty other than mfg defects?). They seem to hold up extremely well in sub 400HP rigs, more than that and you need Violators anyway
I'd spend my $ on a set of Violator U-Joints and put them in some 16 spline shafts, then if you ever popped a shaft it would 99.9% likely be at the splines.

Their warranty doesn't cover "blatant disregard for common sense...like running 62" tires on 16 spline shafts"
So that probably means its a pain to get them to warranty 16s :

Ive heard rockwell offroad has fixed their metallurgy issue and their shafts take a beating now. I have ouversons and haven't had an issue
