Well, sounds like we might be able to make this a little gathering if it goes down. So all I need to bring are the Balljoints and Tony can bring the green egg  //LMAO//
I've grown tired of this.

the BGE doesn't travel...but the delicious wonderfulness that comes out of the Egg sure does.  I can make that happen

I have used Synergy on two different axles and they have worked well for me.

I have a set of NIB Alloy USA ball joints for the d30/d44 I could make available if you want to do it this weekend and just replace mine when your order comes in. 

I also have a set of shoes for you, buddy!

Text me if interested so I can tell you where they are.

Torg, thanks. I have no idea what i need yet. I know it is a mid 80' waggy. Moog would be my choice as they are lifetime. Surprised that brand was not mentioned.

If you are considering c-gussets (if you don't already have them, not sure) this would be a good time so you don't have to worry about cooking the ball joints while welding

I think the Waggy C's are strong enough to not need need gussets. I know it's a better 44 than the TJ and Jk stuff.
