Could you get any photos of your truss from the front? Do you think this truss would help from keeping the diff from spinning up?

I'll take a couple after work and post them in here. I do think it will keep it from spinning up if the plug welds break. I thought about adding welds all the way around the tubes at the housing but didn't want to over heat the bearings. the truss is welded all along the tubes as well as the straight part of the housing (at least on mine). welding to the diff housing is optional according to Evo.

I don't think you can see much but the close up from the back on my last post is basically the same as the front

Northridge4x4 decals were added to the doors.

I decided to change up the grille a bit by covering the black plasti-dip with a metallic matte dark grey. I also repainted the grille inserts gloss black.

A buddy of mine wanted to get some pictures of the jeep so I got it all cleaned up. This is the first photo that he has sent me so far but I'll upload them as I get them.

Yeah, he did a really good job. He is still going through them and sending me the good ones. I'll have to get some of these printed up.

Thanks! How far away from ORE do you live Rachel? I haven't been scheduled for training yet but I will be going out there before the end of the year. I'm definitely meeting up with IBeWhoIsJoshua while I'm out there and most likely going to ORE.

We're about 45min with traffic. Let me know when it gets closer to the date and we'll get together if your time allows. Joshua is further out we're in opposite directions from ORE but maybe we can all meet up somewhere.
