-Yes the front suspension is getting upgraded but not by much. Just better springs/shocks along w/ upper control arms which will give it 1" or so more lift maybe, but it will handle better, and the front will be allowed to droop more. -As far as my drive train it working fine, and I give it a workout; I use the rear locker pretty much whenever I go wheeling. I am very careful when I go offroad so as to do as little damage as possible. The front diffs have mainly been blowing because people get a little too crazy w/ the skinny pedal. My front and rear diffs are also protected by skidplates from Shrockworks and Automotive Custumizers.
-I ordered some new rims/tires this week from Discount Tire. I normally run my stock rims/tires on the street and my 285x75xr16 Trxus MTs offroad on MB Predator rims 16x8. The wheels I ordered will replace my stock setup when running on the street. I wanted an aggressive looking tire, but one that won't be as rough on the street as my MTs. The obvious choice for me at least was the BGF All-Terrain. I went back to MB for the rims but wanted a different looking wheel than the Predator, so I went w/ the "72." Here is a link... http://www.wheelsbymbmotoring....el=72I stayed w/ MB mainly because Discout Tire sells them and they are easier/cheaper to get straight from them and can get the rims/tires in a package. I also really like the clean look of the 72, and I can't recall seeing a 2nd Gen Fronty w/ them yet. My stock rims are 16x7 w/ 265x75xr16 BFG rugged trails (crap tires), but these are 17x8, so for the tires I went w/ 285x70xr17 (ie the same diam. as my Trxus). I will pick them up on Friday probably and will post up here and Club Frontier. I can't wait.
