The plan is for a dissent rear, i like that you can add or remove the swingouts.
But no rush right now

Thanks! It helps that it's just me and I have a lot of free time.
Reef box is great. Would be nice if it had real slides, but it works well for the price. I sleep on it with this old 3 way folding foam pad (I think it's from costco, circa 2005). and it's perfect

Thanks for posting that, I grabbed a set as well just to have.
You get what you pay for with Nitro 
Not worth it to cut corners on something as critical as diff gear !

My 80 axles came in the last unit and were loaded with Nitro 4.88 gears. You know that I broke the fronts but that was my fault. The front now has Sierra Gears. The rear Nitro’s have put up with me and are still good to go.You get what you pay for with Nitro

My problem with Nitro equipment is the lack of customer service. I called JustDifferentials several times and emailed when I broke the front diff last fall and got zero response. I think they can kiss my business goodbye.
Nitro started out as a good company and had quality stuff
Then they were sold and they went to s***.
Steve your gear sets may have be the old stuff but I know you had issues with your axles as I did
It’s well documented the issues with their gears.

Yes, the 4140 moly shafts. I toasted a couple. I forgot about that.
Those were the ones with the obscenely long splines, right?
Yes. Generic shafts could be cut to any length.
Yep
