I believe Etfrans (ex bigmeats) fits that description. It has major wheel well trimming to clear.

Yeah, I think he used a sawzall to trim all of the wheel well.

Yup Tom, exactly that...

I run Calmini coils with a 1 inch spacer for a lift of about 3.5 inches......on 35 inch Nitto Mud Grapplers

Yes...I had to do some surgery to the back of the front wheel wells for clearance...

...and some cladding trimming at the front.

I'd rather cut out, cut off wheel well bits that are NROV ( not required on voyage!)..
...than lift the body any higher.

That's good to know. I thought 4" lift was minimum but 3.5" must be fine for offroading if that's your lift.

The front diff housing on the VX is a 12 bolt ...the rear is a 10 bolt.

Jo...

The front is the 10 bolt IFS.

DOHHH...

Jo...

The front is the 10 bolt IFS.

...you are of course 100% correct.

And I am ( of course)...a twit!

I fixed it in the post.

Jon!

no worries Jo, I've got your back.

[JoFotoz]

Dumb thing is....

no worries Jo, I've got your back.

...I actually went out to the garage to double check.

BUT...counted the bolts on the front OEM one I'd blow a while ago.....


....thinking it was the 4.77 rear I blew last May on the way to Moab...DOHH

That's a good excuse. I saw on FB you had a football/pool party. I don't know about rooting for the chargers (go broncos)... but I wish I could have been there for the pool party.
