Didn't know about the points on Elias, I thought they still supported offroading, not just their wallets, I had them help with the mounting of my Front Bumper and bought my winch from them to put in it, but not much else. I've been looking at Offroad Elements, They carry my EVO stuff, but it's a long drive from Central MA...

Id say 5 is on the cheaper side. 750 an axle is closer to the norm. I run 4.56s with only a 4 speed and a 4x1 tcase and i like it. Its about 2600 at 65ish. I wouldnt go more than 4.88s if you plant to dual purpose this ride. Specially if your gona do lots of highway. Just me speakin , its not law FjR68

Manny is ok. He has come out with us a few times. I can't comment on work. Also not a supporter of legal wheeling.
